The Acolyte 2024 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 There are three main types of Star Wars stories. There's the kind where you write whatever you want and call it Star Wars, common in the many novels published in the 1990s.

But finally, there are the stories that enthusiastically use Star Wars as a setting to create something new. There have been several novels that fit that profile, as did the first season of Andor, and now, four episodes in, it looks like the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, set a century before the movies, also fits the bill. in that category. .

Dr. Martin has to interview a convicted serial killer to see if he's sane enough to be executed. The prisoner tells the psychiatrist that he is a demon called Lord Nefarious. Martin asks Nefarious to prove that he is a demon, but he gets more than he bargained for by making such a foolish demand. NEFARIOUS is an intense and hair-raising thriller with some good twists, dramatic dialogue, great acting, and fascinating direction. It has a strong Christian worldview that dramatically depicts the battle between God and Satan's world of demonic evil. God is clearly more powerful, however.
