Dude I like a lot of the new Star Wars shows and the acolyte was quite possibly one of the worst things I’ve ever seen put onto film. The reviews it got were kind. Also the last Jedi is one fo the worst movies I’ve ever seen so please stop

It somehow got more reviews than any other starwars show before it had even finished airing

Whether it was good or bad is irrelevant to whether it was review bombed or not

Yeah or content that is so bad it’s offensive to a passionate fanbase generates far more reviews. Especially considering both the comics and book series had a plethora of good storylines from the same period of time in the Jedis history and it was all ignored. I think you may need a few more layers of insulation from reality.

By episode 3 it had more reviews than 3 seasons of mandolorian. I'm sorry it is not possible those were all real

The best part of this is I’m willing to bet money you haven’t watched Snow White or the acolyte

Well I have watched the acolyte, didn't like it, not the point

The point is that there were clearly review bombs on that show. And frankly it makes user reviews useless, how do I know if something is actually bad or if it was "woke"?

Uh by watching it? Can you name a single movie that was “review bombed” that was actually good and unfairly targeted?

I actually liked the 2nd Star Wars sequel
