Star Wars fans have made a big mistake after the release of the first two episodes of “Star Wars: The Acolyte.” Instead of targeting the new Star Wars series on Rotten Tomatoes, they accidentally review-bombed unrelated projects with similar names.
The 2008 thriller “Acolytes” has taken the hardest hit. Its audience score on Rotten Tomatoes has dropped to 35% due to negative comments meant for the Star Wars series.

The 2008 thriller “Acolytes”
Fans didn’t stop there; they also attacked a Star Wars fan film titled “The Acolyte,” causing its IMDb rating to suffer from a surge in 1-star reviews.

This mix-up shows how misdirected anger can harm innocent projects.
The actual “Star Wars: The Acolyte” series can be watched on Disney+, while the unrelated “Acolytes” movie is available on Apple TV.
For now, fans are encouraged to direct their comments to the correct project to avoid further confusion.
