The series «Star Wars: The Acolyte» featuring stars from «The Matrix» and «Squid Game» has been released

Disney Plus premiered the first two episodes of Star Wars' Acolyte. The show takes place before the first episode, and the plot focuses on the Jedi investigating a series of mysterious murders.

The series stars Dafne Keen («Logan“), Lee Jeong-jae (”Squid Game»), Carrie-Anne Moss («The Matrix»), and others.

On Rotten Tomatoes, «The Acolyte» started with 88% «freshness» from critics and 49% from viewers. On IMDb, the first two episodes received 7 and 6.9 points. Journalists mostly praise the show, noting that it is far from the best project in the «Star Wars» universe. Meanwhile, fans are writing about superficial character development, a boring plot, and the cast.

«The Acolyte» will include a total of 8 episodes. The finale is scheduled for July 16.
