Part 2/10:
The Acolyte arrived amidst high anticipation but quickly crashed in viewership. Its premiere broke Disney+ records—not for record-breaking viewership, but for the lowest viewership of any Star Wars series on the platform. Audience reception, as captured on Rotten Tomatoes, paints an even bleaker picture: a staggering 177% disapproval rating, which continues to worsen with each episode. Episode 3, in particular, was rife with controversy, shedding light on the show's chaotic narrative and questionable creative choices.
