The Acolyte has divided the Star Wars fanbase unlike just about anything else.
The Acolyte’slowRotten Tomatoscore has become a flashpoint for conflict in an ever-dividedStar Warsfanbase.
Leading into the series, anticipation was high.
As of the time of this report,The Acolytesits at a respectable85%Critics Score on Rotten Tomatoes.
That is in stark contrast, though, to its 13% Audience Score.
WhileThe Acolytehas its flaws, there is simply no way it is 13%-on-Rotten- Tomatoes-levels of bad.
The Acolyteis led by a woman of color in Amandla Stenberg’s Osha/Mae.
This is not a new thing either.
These two sides have created a divide among Star Wars fans.
According to the internet, you either loveThe Acolyteor you hateThe Acolyte.
And if you find yourself on the opposite side of that chasm, that means you are the enemy.
With this approach, all sense of nuance has been lost.
Reacting to a piece of art is not an on/off switch.
It is a dial with myriad shades of gray between the white and black on either side.
The Acolyteis now streaming on Disney+.
