Thank god for The Acolyte.
The problem with Star Wars is incredibly easy to pinpointDave Filoni.
And if you were enjoying The Book of Boba Fett, surprise!
Now its Mandalorian 2.5.
This is why The Acolytes controversial approach is so refreshing.
Its a small callback that makes the era feel alive, like pieces are moving beyond what were watching.
By contrast, so much of the Filoni-style storytelling makes Star Wars feel tiny.
It doesnt feel like the universe is moving, because everything keeps getting pulled to one point.
He didnt take centre stage despite being an obscure character most casual viewers wouldnt even know the name of.
You dont have to watch the prequels to understand Ki Adi Mundis presence.
He plays the same role as any other background character.
Cameos have become warped in the age of the MCU and Star Wars.
The response to Ki Adi Mundi perfectly encapsulates what Star Wars has becomea shallow vat of lore.
Canon had changed, the sacred texts had been burned.
Star Wars fans arent engaging with the stories being told, just the emptiness of a fictional timeline.
The Acolyte is a series set in the wider Star Wars universe, in which a Padawan and her former Jedi Master come together to investigate a series of Jedi murders.
I just hope its the start of a trend and not an outlier.
