Part 4/9:
A significant point of critique revolves around the characters in The Acolyte. Fans and critics alike have expressed their dissatisfaction with how unrelatable and boring the characters are. Unlike the beloved heroes such as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, or Yoda—who are defined by clear, relatable motivations and moral complexity—the characters in The Acolyte lack depth.
For example, characters like May and Oosha are described as having vague motivations that fail to engage viewers emotionally. This lack of profound character development results in a roster of forgettable characters who do not resonate, leaving audiences disconnecting from the story.
