"The Acolyte" Canceled: 11 Things I Loved About It, And 11 Things That Probably Helped Give It The Ax

If pacing was a core problem in this series, the dueling flashback episodes, like Anakin eyeing some younglings, killed it.

It was a daring way to show two points of view, but it was a waste of an extra episode. Whenever films or shows try to nail the "he said, she said" style of revisiting moments, it always seems biased one way. In this case, they made us think the Jedi were these monsters for a couple of episodes and then revealed...well, they're still in the wrong.

It was a waste of time and could have been spliced into a single episode. If you're going to do multiple POVs of one incident, it needs to be interesting at least, and it was far from it.
