  What Mandalorian did for bounty hunters and Andor did for rebels on the small screen, it looks like Acolyte will do for the Jedi and Sith. We already knew about Ahsoka and Obi-Wan. But these characters and this time period is something refreshingly new. The martial arts influences are beautiful to see and the use of wire-work is perfect. Lee Jung-Jae, Amandla Stenberg, Mannie Jacinto, Jodie Smith-Turner, Dafne Keen and Carrie-Anne Moss are all in the cast, and the showrunner is Leslye Headland.

  More slop. No return to form. Didn't see that coming.

  Episode three
  Sometimes you have to follow your own path despite what the people around you think is best for you. When good people do things that are questionable, are they truly good or just self-serving their own interests.

  Episode seven
  When given a mission you need to follow orders, rather than your own self-interest, as it could have the potential to have outcomes that you did not intend. Seeing events unfold from a different perspective, sheds a new light.

  Episode eight
  Everything in the dark must eventually reveal itself in the light. The truth can lead to adverse outcomes, especially to the people that you truly love and care about. Moral compasses lose direction.
  
  It was a decent series that asked some interesting questions of it's characters with it's writing and expanded the galaxy with the period of time the story was set in. The biggest strength of the series was it's fight choreography, which was heavily influenced by Wuxia.
