acolyte

“Carson the Magnificent” is the offering of an acolyte who saw in Carson, as many did, a man who “launched the dreams of generations, as no golden Hollywood dream merchant might have fathomed, even in metaphor. Never a movie star, he shone maybe bigger anyhow.”

This year alone Disney+ has pulled Star Wars spin-off The Acolyte after one season, alongside Paramount Plus cancelling Halo and Max pulling Tokyo Vice.

"I wouldn't say I was a friend of hers, I was an acolyte, and she allowed me to be so."

Some gained real-world influence: Sean Feucht, a Christian singer who led massive COVID-era worship events across the country, as well as a pro-Israel counterprotest at Columbia University this past spring, is an acolyte of the movement.

“The Acolyte” was among “Star Wars’” most ambitious on-screen stories.
