In The Acolyte, the Jedi really were just cops all along
In its eight-episode first season, The Acolyterepeatedly hinted that it would continue Star Wars’ habit of complicating the Jedi’s legacy. Though often presented as avatars for the pure, Light side of the Force, Jedi have always been more complicated than that. The Acolyte suggested it was going to explore that complication, and while itsinsistence on obfuscation delayed the reveal, the show promised a dramatic story about the Jedi’s mysterious actions on the planet Brendok. Instead, we just got a cop show.
