The Google reviews for The Acolyte are quite disappointing.

The reviews for *The Acolyte* on Google are disappointing on many levels. There are more one-star reviews than five-star ones, largely due to review bombing by a segment of the Star Wars fandom. Some fans are giving it one star simply because they dislike it and feel it’s not their version of Star Wars. They also seem to believe that if they don’t like it, the whole world should feel the same way.

These fans often claim the show is terrible, but when someone expresses enjoyment of *The Acolyte* on social media or leaves a five-star review, they accuse those reviewers of being bots or AI, or dismiss them as non-Star Wars fans simply because they like a show that they do not. This situation also highlights issues of grifting among certain Star Wars fans, who tend to dislike anything related to Disney's interpretation of Star Wars. If they don’t like it, they expect others to share their viewpoint as well.
