4 episodes in and I think The Acolyte has supplanted Book of Boba Fett as the weakest Star Wars series for me.
At least Tem Morrison looked like he wanted to be there (giving lessons on how to ride a speeder bike) and there were a few inventive set pieces (the Tusken attack on the train was excellent).
Star Wars has always been rewatchable for me, but 4 episodes in and I think The Acolyte is the first which I’ll never revisit. I hold out hope that it might improve or that a fan edit might redeem it somewhat. There are some nice visuals to work with (even though this last episode had some bad fake jungle, there were some atmospheric and impressive wide shots).
Using the visuals and music (which are the strongest elements) it might even work better as a fanedit ‘mood piece’. Think Blade Runner or the movies of Denis Villeneuve, and try to restyle the clunky dialogue and charisma-free performances into something a bit more abstract and dreamy. Could work?
