Critics have given the new Star Warsshow, The Acolyte, solid to highly positive reviews. And yet the audience scores on websites like Rotten Tomatoes are shockingly low. We’re talking a difference of roughly 50 points between the critics’ rating and the audience’s rating. That’s a huge divide between critics and fans. Where did it come from? Are some fans review bombing the show? Why do so-called Star Wars fans seem to hate Star Wars so much lately? That’s the subject of our latest video, in which we convene a roundtable of Star Wars fans and experts to discuss the reaction to The Acolyte. Are...

If you’re digging Star Wars: The Acolyte on Disney+, enjoy it while you can; the first season of the new series will end in July. [Darth Vader nooooo dot gif] The final three episodes of the show will air weekly next month, along with the premiere of the new Descendants film, The Rise of Red. And for the littler ones, there are seven brand new Bluey “minisodes.” Bluey episodes are already pretty short so I assume these are like, three minutes tops. But hey: That’s better than no new Bluey at all. (Don’t believe me? Just ask a six-year-old. They’ll back me up.) Here’s everything coming to Disne...

There are a few mysteries in Star Wars: The Acolyte,but none bigger than this: Who is the Dark Master and what is their big plan? Clearly, this strange, disturbing Force wielder is manipulating Mae to kill these four Jedi who she blames for this tragedy that occurred during her childhood. But why does the Master want Mae to murder the four Jedi? What do they get out of her revenge plan, whether it succeeds or fails? And how does that connect to the identity of this mysterious Sith (is that a Sith?) under that hideous helmet? That’s the subject of our latest Acolyte video which examines all the...

We’ll also point out all of the Star Wars Easter eggs, hidden details, and little secrets you might have missed in this week’s episode, “Destiny.” We’ll d...

Star Warsis charting a new course with the Disney+ series The Acolyte, which is set 100 years before the events of the Star Wars prequels, and features a group of Jedi we’ve never met onscreen before investigating a series of murders during a period where they stand totally unopposed by the Sith. The Acolyte is something different for Star Wars; part mystery series, part detective procedural, There’s no Empire. There’s no Darth Anybody. Through the first two episodes there are no space battles. But is it different enough? In our latest video Ryan Arey, Matt Singer, and Dodson Seitz get togethe...

As most Star Warse movies and shows do, The Acolytebegins with a text card explaining the basic premise of the series. But there’s something cool about this particular version of this trope. The text is colored blue, a callback to the very first “A long time ago, in a galaxy far away” in the original Star Wars. But the font the words are typed in is different — it’s actually the font used (in yellow) in the classic Star Wars crawl. So this opening actually combines two different Star Wars tropes into a single image. That’s just one of the many secrets, hidden references, and Easter eggs in the...

Star Wars’ new Disney+ series The Acolyte takes fans into an era of the galaxy far, far away that has never been explored in a live-action TV series before. Known as “The High Republic,” The Acolyte is set roughly 100 years before the main Star Wars movie franchise, at a time when the Jedi remain the main Force wielders in the universe, and the Sith are almost non-existent. The High Republic has been the subject of novels and comics and other Star Wars stuff in the last few years, but The Acolyte is the thing that is really going to bring it to more casual Star Wars fans for the first time. An...

It’s been more than three years since Marvel fans saw Paul Bettany’s Vision; the character was left with a massive cliffhanger following the events of WandaVision, which saw his synthetic body reconstituted without its memories or personality. (His traditional green and red coloring was replaced with an all-white color scheme as well.) What happened to this new white Vision has been up in the air since then — but will now be explored in a new Disney+ TV series from Marvel. Variety reports that Marvel has brought in Star Trek: Picard producer Terry Matalas to create the next chapter in Vision’s...

If you watched the recently-concluded X-Men ’97on Disney+, you may have noticed the series had a small but important difference from the Marvel’s previous Disney+ series. Instead of opening with the traditional “Marvel Studios” animated logo featuring clips from previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films and series, it began with a slightly different logo for something called “Marvel Television.” You may have simply assumed that the change was meant to indicate X-Men ’97 was animated instead of live-action, but apparently that’s not the case. A new article claims the new logo is part of a delibe...

There’s one undeniable star of the show on Disney+ in June: The Acolyte, the new Star Warsprequel show from Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland about a mystery set in the days of the High Republic. The impressive cast includes Squid Game’s Lee Jung-jae, Amandla Stenberg, Dafne Keen, Manny Jacinto, and Carrie-Anne Moss as a Jedi Master named Indara. Honestly there’s not a ton of other new stuff coming to Disney+ in June. There’s a new animated series inspired by The Little Mermaid for preschool kids called Ariel, and more new episodes of the current season of Doctor Who. There’s also a new ...
