The infamously temperamental Star Wars fandom has hit The Acolyte hard, and it seems to have spooked Lucasfilm into quietly moving away from the Leslye Headland-created series. Since purchasing Lucasfilm and all its incredibly valuable IP from founder George Lucas in 2012, The Walt Disney Company has found its major...

‘Star Wars’ Terminates Beloved Character, Fans Lose Hope

Star Wars has always been known for its weird names, from pod-racer Ebe E. Endecott to the part-time singer, part-time bounty hunter Sy Snootles. However, none of these names are anywhere near as mind-blowing as the full name for Jedi Master Yoda. As to be expected from original creator George...

Disney Announces Volume 2 of ‘The Acolyte’

In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda complained to Luke and Obi-Wan that he trained Jedi for “800 years.” When he passed away in Return of the Jedi, Yoda was 900 years old, which means he was training Jedi since he was a spry 100. But how old is Yoda when The Acoylte shows him during the High Republic era of Star Wars?

Star Wars Just Confirmed a Wild Fact About Yoda

The first season of The Acolyte has now drawn to a close, and to say that this has been quite a saga would be to undersell it. Indeed, we can talk about how a strong start and intriguing finale ran counter to the show’s lackluster storytelling in the bridging episodes, but could just as easily talk about the influx of hate that’s been pointed at the show from self-proclaimed Star Wars fans. George forbid that a show casts actors who are humans in roles that were written for humans, right?

Star Wars fans are in a tough spot right now, caught between the review-bombing of The Acolyte and the hope that Disney might finally figure out how to handle the galaxy far, far away. Fortunately, the fandom can take refuge in one thing: a remake of The Phantom Menace (1999).

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Acolyte episode 8. Well, The Acolyte season 1 sure went to some unexpected places, huh? Disney Plus actually did a good job of keeping a lot about its first High Republic era series under wraps ahead of time, so much of what it had to offer — including its twin protagonists, the shocking deaths of halfway through, and its bold deconstructive take on the Jedi — came as pleasant surprises (well, except for the deaths part).

Indeed, representing some of the most beloved characters and factions in Star Wars, the Jedi have accrued a plethora of novels over time. Sadly, the sheer volume of literature on these galactic guardians often deters the casual Jedi fan, who doesn’t wish to waste time cutting through some less engaging offerings.
