First reactions to new Star Wars show The Acolyte are calling it Twin Peaks meets The Batman
Viewers are calling the series the "𝕴Force-sensitive version of Andor"

The first reactions are in for The Acolyte, the newest Star Wars show on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus – and viewers are loving the series✅' dark, murder mystery vibes and "Force-fu" fight scenes.
Set 100 years before 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Phantom Menace, the show will take us into a world of shadows and crime in the galaxy far, far away, centering around a former Padawan (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Hunger Games' Amandla Stenberg) and her Jed༺i Master ಌ(Squid Game's Lee Jung-jae). The cast also includes The Matrix's Carrie-Anne Moss, The Good Place's Manny Jacinto, and His Dark Materials' Dafne Keen.
.Others also praised the fight scenes, particularly 𓃲the "Force-fu," which will see characters engage in hand-to-hand martial arts rather than reaching for their lightsabers. "Star Wars: #TheAcolyte is filled with mystery and darkness that delves deep into new and diverse depths of the galaxy. I’ve seen 4 eps and dig the sinister story it’s steadily setting up. BIG potential in this era. Carrie-Anne Moss with a lightsaber doing Force-Fu is PERFECTION," .
"#TheAcolyte is a blend of murder mystery with Star Wars charm. 4 episodes in, and it’s clear that this new timeline will a꧅dd to the lore of the galaxy in BIG ways. The Kung Fu force fighting is MAGICAL! JJ as Sol is the COOLEST Jedi since QUI GON! Can’t wait to see where it goes,"
Audiences have also made comparisons𒅌 to other titles, from fellow Star Wars series Andor to some more unlikely parallels, which have done nothing but raise our expectations. "THE ACOLYTE Eps 1-💯4 are superb. A captivating murder mystery that evokes the detective tales of Twin Peaks & Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Mature like Andor while fully embracing & thematically connecting to the prequels. Seeing the High Republic in live-action does not disappoint,"
"#TheAcolyte is the fꦦorce-sensitive version of Andor. The cast is stellar, the writing of each episode is jam packed. Practical sets and amazing costumes, as well as sfx work make every location feel lived i🦋n, while having an emotional throughline to keep it focused,"
