The Acolyte is a good show, but it can’t get any rhythm going with these sitcom-length episodes.
But those were self-contained stories, with Mando and Baby Yoda going on a different adventure each week.
As the live-action Star Wars TV universe grew from there, the episodes generally got longer.
Warning: There will be various spoilers for The Acolyte, through Episode 6, throughout this article.
The Acolyte is different, though, and so those converstations are now starting up again.
Episode 3, thelongestepisode of this series thus far, ran just 37 minutes minus the credits.
And then the episode is over.
leaving us to wait another week in frustration that this episode concluded right as it was ramping up.
Despite the short length, it’s not even as dense as it could be.
Even moreso when you remember how intriguing this episode’s other plots were.
But even these plots feel truncated.
A half-hour isn’t enough time to do much with three parallel storylines.
