If there’s one thing that all comic book fans want all the time, it’s this: more Jensen Ackles.

After an impressive 15 seasons of battling various mythologies, Ackles has moved on to other franchises, and it seems audiences are eager to get him into as many comic book roles as possible. For DC, he has already played Jason Todd (AKA the Redhood/former Robin) and Bruce Wayne in various projects, but that’s not all.

Part wuxia epic and part pulp mystery novel, The Acolyte demonstrates what's possible when Star Wars embraces new characters and genres while abandoning the Dark Side of nostalgia. There isn't a Skywalker to be seen (at least in the four episodes I've watched), or any characters you've met before. It's not trying to fill gaps in pre-existing lore.

And, best of all, you don't have to be caught up on The Book of Boba Fett or 208 episodes of animated shows to enjoy it.

The Acolyte is Star Wars at its best
