‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ Review: Old Jedi Mind Tricks In A Galaxy Even Farther Away
'Star Wars: The Acolyte' series while expanding the universe, feels like old hat in some regards in repeating of the franchise's motifs.
In regards to pure Star Wars timeline, Tony Gilroy’s Andor comes off appearing more yesteryear (and it’s only set during pre-Episode 4times) in its dirty industrial Imperial metal and rundown space ports. The Leslye Headland ( Russian Doll) created Acolyte hits all the right notes of Star Wars motifs from hooded evil Jedis, twins broken apart ala Luke and Leia, puppeteers in the shadows, and past crimes that continue to have ramifications in the future. That task is even more daunting now that Disney+ is paring back on series overall; it may be harder to bob and weave on levels of Star Wars drama in order to keep a general Disney+ audience from cancelling their subscriptions.
