Star Wars: The Acolyte has proven that the loudest isn't always the right. Despite countless negative reviews and angry fan reactions on social media, the series created by Leslye Headland tops the latest Rotten Tomatoes ratings.
This achievement proves that the show has a special place in the Star Wars franchise. Many loyal fans also appreciate its engaging storyline.
Did The Acolyte really disappoint Star Wars fans?
The series has an average rating of 2.2/5 among more than 24,000 Google reviews. Also, it scored just 3.9 in IMDb ratings.
However, IMDb also shows it’s the 4th most popular TV show.
The negative reviews may also be due to The Acolyte's being a target even before its release. Critics and self-proclaimed die-hard fans started criticizing the show right after its first moments on the screen.
But the real fans gave it a chance. Many who went to X (formerly Twitter) showed their love for the show.
