I doubt enough people realized this for this effect. I’m not a huge Star Wars fan myself and this went completely over my head. I don’t doubt that dedicated Star Wars fans picked up on it immediately, but most probably only heard of it from these. I see that a lot online. People decide to hate a piece of media even before it airs and then collect reasons for it after the fact.
But that’s just my guess, anyway. I haven’t watched The Acolyte farther than episode 4 or 5, but not because of anything specific. Just didn’t grab me to keep watching. I thought I’ll come back to it eventually, but now that I know it’s canceled I probably won’t.
…because they know how to swear in Russian?
