🎬 Welcome back to We’re Too Literary! 🎬

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the multifaceted world of "The Acolyte" (2024) and unravel all the intricate details that make this show both infuriating and intriguing. From discussing the potential memory wipes and the mysterious figure of Darth Plagueis to the impactful yet sometimes baffling actions of Qimir, we cover it all. Are the deaths in Episode 5 just a means to tie up loose ends, or do they serve a larger narrative purpose? And can Dave Filoni's magic touch salvage Season 2?

We even explore alternative storytelling approaches, like the engaging multi-arc structures seen in "Andor," and our desire to see more character backstories fleshed out. And yes, the fighting choreography, with its unique lightsaber styles and cortosis elements, gets its much-deserved praise.

Tune in as we dissect the twists, turns, and mysteries of "The Acolyte" and offer our take on what could elevate this series to new heights.
