Oh. That's too bad. I really liked The Acolyte. I would have liked to know how it turned out.
I think it helps that I have zero experience with any of the formerly-canon High Republic stuff. I have no expectations to undercut.
I liked the characters, the writing, and the performances. It had some of the best combat that I've seen in Star Wars -- in the sense that it had fewer jump cuts and more letting the actors do the work. I especially enjoyed Manny Jacinto in the role of Darth Whatever; it was such an idiosyncratic choice.
I have some quibbles with the plotting -- they were trying to hide a secret that didn't merit being hidden, and the overall arc was pretty predictable. But that's something I'm used to ignoring.
I guess it must have been expensive to produce, and it looked it. I don't really get the economics of any of those shows, since the entire thing is on an all-you-can-eat pricing.
