From claiming that the “far right” used bots to dislike bomb the trailer, constantly attacking, slandering, and whining about Star Wars theory, mauler, and critical drinker, claiming that they were sending their fans to harass people, and mocking fans who say Star Wars shouldn’t be political, even though if Lucasfilms had different values, they’d get extremely pissy. Like imagine the outrage if that power of many scene was replaced by a scene where a bald, tan, muscular shirtless alpha male guy was wearing sunglasses and smoking with 2 other men talking about how high valued men deserve trad wives. I’m not so sure the twitter shills, I mean fans would be so tolerant of the acolyte. Saddest parts of this whole saga was the actress making a rap video, shills getting together in a cringey video to denounce the evil critics and claim there's more mindless fanboys than critics, and sadly red letter media playing defense for this show, the same group who used to constantly mock Disney and made the meme “don’t think, just consume product.”

The killer was that viewer drop off after ep2. While it didn't have great numbers on debut it was still workable if they could retain and even improve on those figures (as Andor did). The opposite happened; viewership fell off a cliff, so much so that Nielson wasn't even picking it up in the original content top ten streaming shows let alone overall top ten streaming shows. That's UNFORGIVABLE for the biggest IP ever created with the biggest fanbase ever see. The writing was on the wall the moment those Nielson figures dropped and the viewership fell so bad because the show was awful. Awful in so many crucial, fundamental ways.

I just read an article about it and of course you could spot all the buzzwords again, like "homophobic", "mobbing" and so on. I'm so tired of this. How about the show was just bad?! The plot was boring, it had poor dialog and questionable decisions by characters. All this garnished with Disneys omnipresent lack of ideas when it comes to new planets, character-, creature- and ship design. Disney owns the right to the biggest sci-fi-sandbox in movie history and this is what they come up with. Of course people are disappointed.

For people who might not understand, usually, a show has to be extraordinarily bad to get cancelled after just one season. Oftentimes, even bad shows get renewed for at least one more season maintain appearances, for example for the sake of stock prices, even though the another season may just end up costing them more money.

[@ass640]

I mean Ahsoka season 1 had a lot of issues but it got renewed because majority of people loved the nostalgia of it. Acolyte was specifically written to be anti-star wars to annoy men. That's all it was, they even tried to put male nudity in it to attract more women and it didn't work.

[@flarefox3118]

Acolyte had some really good ideas in places, but executed all of them poorly. Under a different writer, the show could’ve been so much better. Something a bit more highbrow for Star Wars rather than just pew pew laser battles. Sadly, Star Wars has been trying to do it for years, and they can’t seem to break the simplicity of the universe.
