Star Wars The Acolyte Season 1 Review

With the latest show ended John, Derek and Chris get together to chat about Star Wars The Acolyte Season 1. We discuss our spoiler filled impressions on the full season.

Not as satisfying as it could have been. The central mystery was hidden for far too long leading to a lack of engagement from us. There were some wonderful elements here from the acting to the incredible lightsaber battles. We'll be looking forward to season 2 if there is an announcement

A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY…

A century before the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic bask in an era of unprecedented peace. Yet, darkness looms as Jedi Master Indara falls victim to a mysterious assailant. Osha Aniseya, a former Padawan turned meknek, is wrongfully accused of the crime and pursued by Jedi Knight Yord Fandar and his Padawan, Tasi Lowa.

As fate intervenes, Osha discovers a shocking truth: her presumed-dead twin sister, Mae, is alive and the true culprit. Jedi Masters Sol, Vernestra Rwoh, and their Padawans, Jecki Lon and Yord, embark on a perilous quest to unravel the conspiracy. Meanwhile, Mae, under the influence of a shadowy master, wages a deadly game against the Jedi, targeting Masters Torbin, Indara, Sol, and the Wookiee Kelnacca.

On the desolate planet Brendok, the origins of the twins are revealed, tied to a coven of Force-wielding witches led by Mother Aniseya. A fateful decision by Osha to embrace the Jedi Path sets in motion a chain of events that will shatter the galaxy.

As the hunt for Mae intensifies, a fallen Jedi, known only as Qimir, emerges as a formidable adversary. The fate of the Jedi Order hangs in the balance as the dark side of the Force grows stronger. A new era dawns, filled with treachery, loss, and the uncertain path of destiny.
