My gripes have to do with the fact a padawan puts up way more of a fight (a rather impressive one at some points) than a whole squad of Jedi Knights who were just fodder to Smilo Ren over there. That only happens because the padawan is a major character and the Knights were glorified red shirts, it’s lame and doesn’t respect the implications of what each character, named or otherwise, should be capable of. The Moths were wired for me because Jedi Master Sol or whatshisname (Squidgame protagonist guy doing his best god bless him) seemingly spared him because he doesn’t want to execute him and would rather be fine with letting a horde of Moths brutally massacre the guy, and now he’s back on the lose because plot contrivance lets him live. I am aware that this show is in fact fiction, Star Wars isn’t real. Never liked the “Space Wizards intended for children” argument, never will. There’s fantastical elements but that shouldn’t throw away legit criticisms, maybe only the really nit-picky ones (though that’s another issue since many of us have different lines as to what counts as solid or unimportant nit-picks and their validity). I have more to say but I apologize for the long comment. Glad you’re enjoying it for what it is, some of the channels hating Acolyte can take it a step too far, others are plain annoying and stupid about it, but there are also from people who are rightfully annoyed by the bad writing put into this show imo. Please don’t take this as an offense to you, just bringing my two cents.
