Anakin's character poster from Ahsoka between the posters of Rise of Skywalker and The Acolyte
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Acolyte episode 3 did not insult Anakin Skywalker's legacy, the Star Wars sequel trilogy did. With The Acolyte delving into Darth Plagueis' power of creating life using the Force, the show is tying itself massively to the prequel era. Given its placement on the franchise's timeline - taking place a century before the first chronological Star Wars movie - this was to be expected.
The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Completely Forgot Anakin Skywalker Anakin's Legacy Was Drastically Diminished In The Three Sequel Movies Besides The Acolyte, it is no secret that the Star Wars sequel trilogy is the most divisive entry to the franchise under Disney's tenure. The sequels were heavily criticized upon their release, and are still regarded by many as the worst-ranked Star Wars trilogy.
Anakin's lightsaber is an important MacGuffin in the Star Wars sequels, but the weapon is never tied directly to him by name. The Acolyte's controversy has caused review-bombing on most major websites, giving it incredibly low-rated audience scores. Lucasfilm Is Clearly Trying To Honor Anakin Now Anakin's Star Wars Resurgence Is Here Close Despite the fact that the sequels disrespected Anakin Skywalker, Lucasfilm has recently corrected this mistake. When Lucasfilm restarted production on Star Wars projects shortly after Disney's acquisition of the studio, most stories seemed cautious about including elements from the prequels given their poor reception in the early 2000s.
