Acolyte was terrible, horrible, no good, very bad.
But Episode 5 of Acolyte contains the 2nd best lightsaber battles of anything Star Wars.
Don't bother watching any other episode. Don't bother even reading the plot.
Just watch Episode 5.
Similarly - Star Wars Visions - watch the first episodes of each season. You won't regret it.
Whoever did the fight design for that episode was right on point. And the fact that they made a Sith that was likely an apprentice level wipe the floor with the Jedi could have made things really interesting story line wise.
However if we did see a Plageius taking on a Jedi Master it would have completely F'd up the prequels.

I hope its good. I really do. But my Star Wars enthusiasm level couldn't be much lower. At least its a standalone movie set after 9 so...its got that going for it, which is nice.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
I'll believe that star wars movie exists when it opens in theatres.
Yeah at least when Star Trek announced 'Section 31' they actually made and released it even after knowing it was going to suck out loud. Star Wars has been cancelling stuff or letting ideas die on the vine a lot lately.

I also really wonder if this just a rebrand and tweak of the patty jenkins rogue squadron movie.
