Amandla Stenberg as Mae repairing a ship in The Acolyte
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars audiences are in an uproar about Star Wars: The Acolyte showing a ship catching fire in space, but that backlash ignores the very nature of the galaxy far, far away. The Acolyte released with a two-episode premiere on June 4th, and it's already received plenty of criticism and praise as the newest of Star Wars movies and TV shows.
However, these responses overlook George Lucas' intention for Star Wars and the innumerable examples of Star Wars choosing to ignore real-life physics. Star Wars Has Never Cared Much For Real-World Physics The pushback against The Acolyte showing a fire in space would be understandable if Star Wars had ever followed the rules of real-life science, but it hasn't. From the very beginning, George Lucas wanted Star Wars to feel like fantasy; in fact, that's why he referred to it as science-fantasy rather than science fiction.
This very line of thought currently being used to criticize The Acolyte is also precisely what George Lucas wanted to avoid in Star Wars .
