Well, well, well, look what we got here. This Star Wars: The Acolyte, they call it. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But folks are sayin’ it ain’t doin’ so hot. Nobody’s watchin’ it, they say. Lower than a snake’s belly in a wagon rut, that’s what I heard.
They got all these fancy shows now, streamin’ they call it. Back in my day, we had one TV, and we were darn lucky to have it. Now, they got more shows than you can shake a stick at, and this Star Wars thing is one of ’em. This Acolyte thing, seems like it’s the bottom of the barrel. It’s a Star Wars thing, and even them Star Wars folks can make a stinker, I reckon.
I heard some folks talkin’, sayin’ this Acolyte show, it got lower numbers than any of them other Star Wars things. Even lower than that Clone Wars thing from a while back. Them critics, they liked it just fine. Said it was good. But the regular folks, like me and you, well, they ain’t watchin’ it. I heard it got a score of 14. Out of 100! That ain’t good, no sir. That’s like gettin’ only 14 kernels on a whole ear of corn.
- They say 14 out of 100 folks like it.
- Critics say it’s good, but regular folks ain’t watchin’.
- It’s lower than that Clone Wars movie, they say.
Now, they got these other shows too. One’s called The Penguin. Sounds like a bird, don’t it? They say that one’s doin’ real good. But this Acolyte, nah. They even sayin’ Disney, that’s the big cheese behind it, they sayin’ they done with it. Cancelled, they call it. Like when your order gets messed up at the diner, and they just take it off the bill.
I remember somethin’ called the Star Wars Holiday Special. A long, long time ago. Back in ’78, I reckon. That was a real stinker. Folks say this Acolyte thing is almost as bad as that. Imagine that! They spent all that money, makin’ these shows, and folks ain’t watchin’.
Each new one they put out, fewer and fewer folks tune in. ‘Cept for that Mando one. That one did alright, number 3 they say. But number 2 was better. Then there was that Boba Fett one. It didn’t do too hot neither. This Acolyte, they say it’s at the bottom of the Nielsen charts. That’s some chart they got that tells ya what folks are watchin’. And this one’s at number 10. The bottom!
- Mando 3 did okay, but Mando 2 was better.
- Boba Fett didn’t do too good.
- Acolyte is at the bottom of the Nielsen charts. Number 10!
It’s like bakin’ a pie. You put all that work into it, gatherin’ the ingredients, rollin’ out the dough, bakin’ it just right. And then nobody eats it! What a waste, right? That’s what this Acolyte thing sounds like. A big ol’ waste. People say Acolyte and that Andor one. Those were expensive to make. A lot of money went into them. But nobody’s watchin!
This whole Star Wars thing, seems like it’s goin’ downhill faster than a greased pig at the county fair. I don’t know what they gonna do. Maybe they should just stick to makin’ them movies. Or maybe they should just quit altogether. This Acolyte business sure ain’t helpin’ things.
They even say this is the lowest rated Star Wars finale ever! A finale is like the end of somethin’, the last hurrah. And this one’s the worst they ever had. Lordy, lordy. These people ain’t having much luck these days. Maybe people just got tired of it. Too much of a good thing, you know? Like eatin’ too much pie. Eventually, you just get sick of it.
So, there you have it. This Star Wars: The Acolyte, it ain’t doin’ so good. Nobody’s watchin’ it. It’s gettin’ bad reviews from regular folks. And it’s costin’ them a whole heap of money. Sounds like a real mess to me. A real mess indeed.
