Instead of that garbage show and characters, it would be far better to focus on Jedi games and characters like Eno Cordova, Jedi Survivor Merrin, Jedi Master Cere Junda (maybe a Galactic Legend), Rayvis, Dagan Gera and Santari Khri, Greez, BD-1, Mantis... Hell, it would be amazing if they brought in some fresh new characters for Mandalorian faction like Dutchess Satine Kryze, Clone Wars Gar Saxon and Ursa Wren, Pre Vizsla, Prime Minister Almec etc. So many other opportunities rather than pumping in some bad written characters that most of the fanbase doesn't want to see or even be remined of. If Acolyte was worth anything, it wouldn't have been canceled, so it better stays that way.
Also Dagan, Santari and Rayvis (and maybe Zee) would be far better represenatatives of the High Republic era than any Acolyte character.
You say that like half of it wasn’t review bombed. The show was meh, but Sol was cool.
I don't think it was tbh brother, there's a lot that is wrong with the show and the worst thing is that it was made by people who do not know or care about Star Wars. Also the retconning and plotholes, it's dreadful. If they wanted to do Sith, there's plenty material for it, but not ruining Yoda's and Anakin's story. Also space witches, really? We have Dathomiri nightsisters, they are amazing and badass, and Jedi games did a good job at portraying that as well as Clone Wars series, Acolyte did nothing but make a dumb storyline and many dull characters that got rekt in an instant. Sequels ain't good, but Acolyte is awful, except for Sol, on that we agree. Sol was the only actually good thing there and I am sorry he was butchered. He was promising, I would've liked to see more of him.
I would argue the Stranger was similarly interesting, though I’m disappointed he just turned out to be another Sith. I’m still clinging to the idea that he, at some point, becomes Ren, but…
Honestly? There weren’t really any plot holes, it was just a weak sauce story. Tell me the apparent plot holes and I’ll tell you why they’re not.
We dont even have red 5! How do we have all these back seat or made up characters but still no Red 5 luke? No ajunta pol, atton rand, bao-dur, go-to?

I don't even know who those last three are, and you butchered Ajunta Pall's name. Also, quick reminder that all characters in Star Wars are made up, lol
The speed with which you switch your argument is almost admirable, seeing as how you've had success so far in changing the subject multiple times.
Knowledge is subjective, so you not knowing who the aforementioned tres are, does not validate an argument for their being weaker in application to the previous statement made by the op. He has stated that he desires to have more loved and known characters in the game before some random jedi or sleemo from a show no one watched. I myself have not met a single person who watched the show through to the end.
Your second tag on statement was that all characters are made up. This is both true and something many people need to remember. However, it does not contribute to the discussion in any meaningful way. The format of your comment could easily be classified as a red herring. The fact that all characters are made up does not have any real bearing on whether they should be added to a game, which up until now, has to my knowledge been made up of said "made up characters."
Business for CG and for the game itself is based on entertainment value alone. The concept of entertainment is based on giving a viewer or participant an influx of strong emotion. Which means business "booms" per say, when a game or system of entertainment cashes in on nostalgia, fright, laughter, and so on. If the show "the acolyte" does not present any of those attributes, then it is both a bad business model, and a terrible blow to the enjoyment of the game. The characters in acolyte were all original, and to my knowledge, the show was cancelled due to low viewership, and scathing reviews. That immediately checks the nostalgia off the list, and if a little blue hologram can't evoke humor or fright very readily, it loses on all counts.
