Star Wars: The Acolyte

Circa 19,000 votes, and obviously a simpler way of either sticking it to or supporting Disney without having to write anything.


Ahsoka got some stick, but the numbers on IMDB are much, much kinder than they currently are for The Acolyte:

The sudden drop off (i.e., backlash) from one series to the next is pretty staggering.

Hey @jaztermareal, look at those 11% fake 10 reviews vs genuine 44.5% 1's

I have yet to see anyone mention how Coruscant has cut and paste buildings.

Now you mention it, there does seem to be a lot of image repetition.

Luckily, the buildings didn't have lines to deliver, otherwise that skyline would've been as flat as the cast.

Is this a 'fire in space' type thing again? It's always been flat. If anything there are too many buildings. Maybe that's why it looks repetitive?

The composition in the PT is way better. That's why the shots are more forgiving.

I was looking at the ones closer to the ground. There seems to be a lot of repeated images, which is what I assumed pixletwin meant.

Those Acolyte reviews look totally natural and legit.

That more people are resisting mediocrity than promoting it?

The 11% rating 10/10 are an obvious counter balance to offset the 1s who absolutely detest it and everything it stands for.

The biggest numbers being either 1 or 10 is indicative that The Acolyte has become a war zone.



Since there's not much engaging within the show itself, it's popcorn time watching the controversy surrounding it.

Disney will soldier on regardless, and every now and then they'll knock out a series that does satisfy a majority of fans.

Star Wars is unkillable. It survived The Phantom Menace, so it'll probably survive The Acolyte.

A lot of the 1's are clearly a protest vote as well. Even those that think the show itself was a 2-4, could have just given it a 1 based on the Hedland factor and all the comments surrounding it.

That implies people are calling it mediocre instead of completely trashing as if it’s the worst thing ever made.

Even the universally praised Andor had exponential reviews and not the bottom 9 being within 8% of each other and then a sudden jump to the 10's. The Acolyte reviews just aren't natural. I'm not saying people are lying saying it's bad, but they're exaggerating it one way or another.
