    There was a good show in there somewhere, but what we got wasn’t it.

    I’m not sure walking away from the season what I was supposed to have learned. It’s ok to kill people sometimes as long as you’re pretty sure they messed up your life?

    Mando is about found families and learning to trust.

    Andor is about how war/strife changes people.

    Obi-wan is about relearning to believe (in yourself/the force) and what’s worth fighting for.

    Ahsoka is about students and teachers, how they each can learn from one another.

    Even if you disagree with my interpretation, you can at least agree it’s a possible interpretation.

    But Acolyte… I just don’t know what I’m supposed to get out of it. The dark side ain’t so bad? Jedi don’t like others using the force?

      You could say the OG had the message that it’s okay to become a terrorist if the government kills your aunt and uncle.

          I would say the message of the acolyte was:

          Evil can be committed by good people with honorable intentions.

          Just because it looks spooky doesn’t make it evil.

          Also, I think it also tried to flesh out two unpopular ideas from the prequels and sequels with the virgin birth of the chosen one and the force dyad.
