A bit of over per week after the discharge of the primary two episodes of Star Wars’ The Acolyte, an try at negatively review-bombing the brand new collection on Rotten Tomatoes has begun.

Seeing something Star Wars-related requiring a couple of second after its launch to assemble an avalanche of destructive reactions these days is already fairly stunning, however this story will get even higher. It seems that the assessment bombing marketing campaign just about ignored the precise Star Wars Acolyte TV collection, and by chance ended up hitting different works whose creators had been unfortunate sufficient to call after the phrase “Acolyte“.

The largest sufferer is a 2008 Thriller known as Acolytes, which is now sitting at 35% Viewers Rating after a barrage of destructive SW-related ramblings.

To be totally sincere, I’m but to look at Acolytes, the film, not the similarly-titled SW collection, however I’m fairly positive that its solely hyperlink with Star Wars is Joel Edgerton. I do know he performs Owen Lars in a single, and a serial killer within the different one — Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith, I presume. I’m unsure, although. I’ve a tough time remembering what occurred within the prequels due to all of the harm I sustained from watching the prequels. Nonetheless, I’m leaving the trailer for Acolytes under to allow you to resolve, anyway.

And Acolytes wasn’t the one sufferer, as The Acolyte, a Star Wars fan movie additionally noticed a suspicious surge within the 1-star assessment division that fully destroyed its IMDb ranking.

That is fully pointless as a result of it’s simply imply, but additionally as a result of fan motion pictures don’t fare very well within the scores division, anyway. I imagine that the most effective factor we will do to assist restore the steadiness is to put up the entire The Acolyte fan film under:

Hold forth within the feedback to let me know if it’s any good!

Now you can watch the primary three episodes of The Acolyte — the actual one, on Disney +, and you’ll watch the unrelated and really hated Acolytes on Apple TV, if that’s your factor.
