There’s also the complaint about fire in space. Yes, in our real world how it was depicted was impossible, but this is Star Wars, if that’s your complaint, you have no complaint. This is the series that’s shown fire in space multiple times previously and set up Han and Leia to walk out on what they thought was the surface of an asteroid with nothing but an oxygen mask. It’s clear physics works differently in Star Wars, so that’s not a valid complaint.
So far, the series doesn’t feel groundbreaking like The Mandalorian, inspiring like Andor or inspiring like Ahsoka. It feels a lot like The Book of Boba Fett, competent and familiar yet still inferior. In Boba Fett’s case, it was a show set at the same time as a better show with a character that fans had been clamoring to see more often. There’s no character like that for The Acolyte. It shouldn’t feel familiar which works against in this case. It’s not great or terrible; it’s just kind of there and that may be the worst sin a Star Wars series can commit.
