Honestly yeah. And the sad part is that the creatives behind it have a really good tv track record prior to this show. So I’m really confused as to where this show went horribly horribly wrong.
I think Episodes 3 & 7 were the “cringiest,” but the finale was probably the worst… it was all so messy and rushed and anti-climactic, and nothing really made any sense 🤷🏻♂️ I honestly didn’t pick up on any negative aspects of Sol, I just thought he was kind of an idiot, with most of the questionable things he did seeming more like script deficiencies, rather than intentional character development… I suppose a compelling story for him would’ve been to give him a lot of guilt he’s struggling with throughout, with Mae and Osha being the devil and angel on his shoulders, so to speak… and in the end he finally gives in to his despair and lashes out at Mae, killing her… and in turn, that’s the finale straw for Osha’s faith in the Jedi, and she kills him and goes off with Qimir. something like that… or a completely different story that’s much better all around. and if I’m being extra honest, Lee Jung-Jae could’ve used a bit more practice with his English before taking on this role… and Mae and Osha should’ve been recast entirely 😑
I was REALLY holding out hope for this show. Sith Apprentice's journey which could highlight flaws in Jedi is a pretty good plot. Yet after watching this show, I am MORE on the side of the Jedi. The whole thing reads like a fan fiction that, while being set in Star Wars, has none of the hidden traits that makes it FEEL like Star Wars I would say that the redeeming quality is the fight choreography, but it was pretty rough in the finale. Plus they would end in the most hamfisted way that felt like a slap to the face reminding you that the terrible story is back in control. May is flippantly vengeful while Osha's primary motives flip so irregularly you would think she's bipolar for the sole purpose of plot. If there is an Acolyte season 2 and it's just as garbage as S2, I will be convinced that the sole reason Disney bought Lucasfilms was to systematically destroy the IP
This is exactly how I feel. My issue is that the good fight choreography kept drawing me back into the show cause I thought that if the fighting could look so good, then the story could get better
Totally fair. I just thought this had potential cause of it straying out of the skywalker saga and showing us a time we haven’t been shown before in Star Wars
It felt like a show written, directed, and acted by people who despise Star Wars.

That's a low bar, to be the worst Disney Star Wars show.
Disney is ruining Everything. Didn’t really have any expectation.
