I guess people like to complain. I watched all the "The Acolyte" episodes and I thought it was not bad. The show is about slowly revealing the truth of a story from different perspectives with misdirections that are confusing without more information. Some people are stuck in a narrow mindset of what they expect from Star Wars that cannot be achieved. I get it that mystery plots can be very frustrating but I think it's not warranted yet to completely lose one's papaya. So far "Book of Boba Fett" has done more wrong in three episodes than this.

@adiwan I didn't find the first two episodes *bad* but I also didn't care enough to renew my D+ sub. Big part of me kind of wonders why you can't easily tell a 10,000 year old Star War from a 1,000 year old Star War, though. Hard to remember it's supposed to be a far distant prequel to the universe when it looks exactly the same except the Jedi wear prissier robes. I mean maybe if the lightsabers looked more "steampunk" or something, that could help? I dunno. I guess I'm largely "meh" on most Star Wars outside of the OG trilogy.

@scribus The series takes place about 100 years before The Phantom Menace. This epoch is called The High Republic and the series is about at the end of this era. There are comics and books take place even 100 years earlier than that. Those books are very different in tone than The Acolyte where there is obviously a mental shift taking place within the Jedi Order. I totally get that Star Wars looks kinda same-y. The game The Knights of the Old Republic was a lot earlier and shows not much of a visual difference to 1000 years later. I totally agree with you that there is some kind of stagnation within that universe.
