Not even The Acolyte has managed to make the Jedi interesting again.
Across its first three episodes, The Acolyte has gotten off to a propulsive, if imperfect, start. The series, created by Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland, is one of the only truly original pieces of Star Wars media that Disney has produced in the 12 years since it acquired Lucasfilm. As depressing as that is in and of itself, it’s also helped The Acolyte . The show, for all of its flaws, feels fresh.
Recommended Videos Are the Jedi cool samurai or boo-worthy space cops? For 16 years, Star Wars fans’ collective perception of the Jedi was based entirely on a few characters featured throughout the franchise’s Original Trilogy — namely, Obi-Wan Kenobi , Yoda , and Luke Skywalker . The first three Jedi that Star Wars fans ever met were, in other words, interesting and eccentric figures grappling with their own internal struggles.
In the years since Revenge of the Sith was released, though, the Star Wars franchise has had a hard time deciding what to do with the Jedi. Are they meant to be seen as cool-headed samurai who only want to protect the galaxy? Or emotionless, cop-esque figures who enforce their presence and will on the planets and communities they monitor? In The Acolyte‘s third episode, titled Destiny, they come across more like the latter.
There is, of course, a story to be told about how the Star Wars universe’s most powerful organizations, whether it be the Jedi, the Sith, or even a coven of Force-sensitive witches, demand that its citizens to stick to only a certain number of paths. The Acolyte even touches lightly on that idea in “Destiny.” However, the series has still so far been unable to communicate how it wants its fans to actually view the Jedi Order.
