Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Acolyte did great for Disney+, with the first two episodes generating 4.8 million views on their first day. That makes it the biggest series premiere on Disney+ this year.
Many people tuned in to watch the series to see what it would offer and it ultimately received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the series goes.
While I was disappointed with the quality of the writing and storytelling in the first two episodes of the series, I will ride this wave to the end to see how the story continues to develop. Maybe the story will get more interesting as it continues.
I imagine there will be a slight decline in viewership as the series continues, as that’s normal for most shows. How big this drop will be has not yet been seen. But, for now, Disney and Lucasfilm are happy with these initial viewership numbers.
The series was created by Lesley Headland (Russian Doll) and is a mystery thriller that transports viewers into a galaxy of dark secrets and emerging dark powers in the final days of the High Republic era.
The story follows a former Padawan who reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they face are more sinister than they ever anticipated.
The cast includes Amanda Stenberg (The hate you give), Lee Jung Jae (Squid game), Manny Giacinto, Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen and slim), Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials), Rebecca Henderson (Inventing Anna), Charlie Barnett (Russian doll), Dean-Charles Chapman (1917) AND Carrie-Anne Moss (The matrix) for a few minutes.
