The Acolyte wins NAACP Image award
By: Mike Centrella
The Acolyte has faced significant backlash from the toxic side of the Star Wars fandom, with some individuals attacking both the cast and the show's fans. However, there is some positive news: The Acolyte recently won the NAACP Image Award for Best Outstanding Original Score for Television/Motion Picture, and there have been other encouraging developments as well. Some news outlets, such as those at Entertainment, have included The Acolyte on their lists of cancellations that hurt the most.
It's worth noting that the prequels and George Lucas were also widely criticized/ disliked. However, fans have come to love and appreciate them over the years. So perhaps The Acolyte is not as bad as some claim, and history repeats itself. To conclude, I think The Acolyte's winning the NAACP Image Award for Best Outstanding Original Score for Television/Motion Picture challenges those who hate It and maybe were wrong about it. However, they can still hate it and turn it into oblivion if they choose to.
