Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A review-bombing campaign against The Acolyte, the latest Star Wars Disney+ TV show, has accidentally hit a 2008 movie and a fan-film. The Star Wars fandom has always had a reputation for being divisive, and the review-bombing campaign against The Acolyte has reinforced that impression.

Cinelinx's Jordan Maison added to this, discovering that a 2008 movie called Acolytes is also getting caught up in the review-bombing.

Star Wars' next showrunner, Leslye Headland, is proving surprisingly controversial on social media - so what's causing all the furore..?

Making matters even more explosive, The Acolyte has been caught up in the culture wars. An old clip from Star Wars Celebration 2023 was used to argue showrunner Leslye Headland was approaching the show with a social justice agenda; this was even shared by Elon Musk, who mocked it with a meme based on a South Park episode criticizing Lucasfilm. Right-wing accounts on social media seem particularly devoted to attacking The Acolyte.
