This week we’re continuing our look into "The Acolyte" by focusing on the actual story behind the controversial series and what it means for the future of Star Wars.
In our last episode, we shared our overall thoughts on Season 1, but now it’s time to break down the plot. From the political intrigue surrounding the twins Osha and Mae Aniseya to the dark secrets that could unravel everything the galaxy believes about the Jedi Order, we’ll discuss the key moments and major themes that define the show.
How did "The Acolyte" handle its characters, and what could Lucasfilm have done differently? We also explore whether "The Acolyte" stayed true to Star Wars’ roots as a feature film franchise or if it fell short in translating the saga to the small screen. Tune in to hear our take on how the story was presented and why it may have missed the mark with audiences.

In this episode, we dive deep into the monumental challenge faced by The Rise of Skywalker when it hit theaters in December 2019.
