Star Wars: The Acolyte premieres on Disney+ on June 4, and the first reactions from critics have started finding their way online (via SFFGazette.com).
These are made up of a mix of people who attended a splashy premiere for a screening of the two-part premiere and reviewers who were sent the first four instalments to view online. It's worth noting then that not everyone here will have been caught up in the excitement of yesterday evening's event, meaning these verdicts may hold more weight than usual.
Regardless, the reactions so far are overwhelmingly positive. It sounds like the mystery elements work well, as do The Acolyte's practical stunts and the new ways this series utilises the Force. The cast, and particularly Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae, is also praised.

‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ marks the next chapter in the ‘Star Wars’ saga, debuting on Disney+ on June 4th. Promising a fresh and distinct adventure, the series is set during the High Republic Era, known as the Golden Age of the Jedi Order.
Showrunner Headland appears keen on exploring a narrative where the Force is not solely the domain of the Jedi, hinting at a nuanced portrayal where even they can embody darkness given the right circumstances.
Today, the social embargo for the show was lifted, allowing some fans to catch the first two (or four) episodes. Excitement was high for their reactions. While the show has sparked mixed feelings among the public, particularly due to some controversial statements by Headland, its female-led nature, the introduction of lightwhips, and other elements perceived as influenced by Dei, positive feedback is dominating the conversation.
Initial reviews commend the series for its captivating mystery,...

‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ is the next chapter in the ‘Star Wars’ franchise. The show arrives on Disney+ on June 4th and it promises to be a completely different adventure.
The show will be set during the High Republic Era, also known as the Golden Age of Jedi Order due to their overwhelming numbers, and it seems that Headland is trying to use that setting to prove that Jedi don’t have the monopoly on Force and that they too can be bad guys when context is given.
The social embargo for the show was lifted today, and some fans had the opportunity to watch the first two (or four) episodes so we were eagerly awaiting their reactions. Despite the show generating a lot of mixed reactions from the general public in the context of some weird statements made by Headland, being female-led, including lightwhips, and plenty of other stuff...

So a Featherweight wins in impressive fashion and nobody cares; Matt Hammill and Roger Hollett clearly shouldn’t be fighting on the main card of a Pay Per View; Michael Bisping is still a World Class Middleweight; Two little guys fight back and forth for five rounds to crown a World Champion and fans boo; Jon Jones remains the greatest fighter on the planet. Ufc 152 is done and dusted and not a great deal has changed.
Not withstanding the fact that we do have that new Champion to talk about – Demetrious Johnson outpointing Joseph Benavidez – and the fact that Vitor Belfort came closer than anyone else in the Ufc to beating Jon Jones despite the eventually one-sided main event. Now, what next? Another Flyweight World Title bout, a Middleweight contender’s bout, and a Superfight between the two best in the World? Here’s the eight bouts the Ufc need...
