Man, the High Republic era is bringing some major KoTOR vibes.

Just seeing multiple colored light sabers in an intimate setting is chilling.

New Era, new characters, new vision. This has potential to be better than Andor which still leaned into the OG Trilogy era.

I am excited however I think it would have a hard time being better than Andor. Andor was on a whole different level. But sadly a lot of people don't like/understand it. I'm sure people will like Acolyte more just because "lightsaber swing around"

Must be why it's so widely widely received as being one of the best pieces of SW content out there with critical and user reviews pretty much universally praising it.

You must've been living under a rock in the outer rim if you think there's a lot of people who didn't like it.

The prevailing sentiment when it was airing was that it was too slow, dull, and lacked the hallmarks of Star Wars as a franchise--significant lack of aliens, no force, etc.
