Star Wars: Did The Acolyte Reveal Its Killer Too Early?
The first episode of the latest Star Wars series gave the audience a straightforward explanation of who killed the Jedi, but it's withholding the why.
The Acolyte sold itself as a murder mystery martial arts show, but it has unique interpretations of those genre tags. The martial arts inspiration is excellent. Its first action scene feels like an exciting dip into Wuxia wire-fighting in a Star Wars environment. The murder mystery element is a little less straightforward. Instead of hunting down the roving Jedi killer, tearing through clues to discover a scrap of their identity, the first episode of The Acolyte gives the viewer the killer and begs them to look for a motive.
