The Acolyte, Disney’s latest Star Wars show on Disney+, is already halfway through its first season, with four episodes already aired and four more to come. The series takes place 100 years before the events of the Star Wars movies and follows the story of twins Osha and Mae, played by Amandla Stenberg, who were separated as children and reunited through violence. Mae is on a mission to hunt and kill Jedi she believes responsible for her family’s death, under the orders of a mysterious Master, while Osha is caught up in the mystery, brought back by her old Jedi Master Sol.
The latest episode ended with the murder of the Wookiee Jedi, Kalnacca, on the planet Khofar, and the first appearance of the Sith, who easily defeated Sol and his team of Jedi and Padawan. Despite some interesting moments and cool fight scenes, the show has left some viewers feeling uncertain. The slow-paced and short episodes are a source of frustration, but the introduction of the Dark Jedi and the cliffhanger endings keep the audience intrigued. With three more episodes to go, viewers hope for improvements in the writing as the season progresses.
Episode 5 of The Acolyte will premiere on Disney+ on Tuesday, June 25th, and subsequent episodes will air on the following Tuesdays, July 2nd, 9th, and 16th. Fans eagerly anticipate the reveal of the Sith’s identity and the resolution of the mystery surrounding the space witches in flashback episodes. Despite the show’s $180 million budget, some viewers have concerns about the quality and writing of the series. However, there is still hope that the second half of the season will deliver a more engaging and satisfying experience.
In terms of promotional material, Disney has not released a specific trailer for Episode 5, but a promo gives glimpses of what viewers can expect in the upcoming weeks. Viewers are also invited to share their thoughts on the show on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, as well as subscribe to the creator’s YouTube channel and blog for updates and reviews. The Acolyte has generated mixed reactions so far, with some expressing disappointment while others remain hopeful for a stronger second half. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis on the show as it continues to unfold.
