Star Wars The Acolyte Ep 8, Finale, Reviewed: Angry Andy And The Apologist; Prequel Comparisons, Crystal Bleeding, Character Arcs & More, With (A Bit Of) Spider-Dan

The Acolyte has finished, and what a ride it’s been! Mike is joined by Angry Andy to talk about this finale and as both have quite different viewpoints on the show, it’s more of a debate than a review!

So, in this episode, Andy & Mike first talk about their expectations for the show, before delving into some issues with the show, including the Osha & Mae’s characters, before hearing a bit from Spider-Dan - he couldn’t make it to the recording but did record something which Andy & Mike listen to throughout and discuss! Andy & Mike then speak about the pacing and format of The Acolyte, and how it compares to other series. The duo (& Dan) also talk about prequel comparisons, side-characters, crystal bleeding, the future of the series, Bazil, The High Republic, Senator Rayencourt and so much more in this massive finale to this divisive series!
