Manny Jacinto is hot; that is well known. But The Acolyte takes advantage of this fact by leaving the demonstration of the seductive nature of the Dark Side of the Force in his very capable hands (and very strong biceps). And let’s be honest? The Sith have never looked better. Episode 6 of The Acolyte““Teach/Corrupt” ...
The Believer showrunner Leslye Headland made an interesting and rather fitting comparison between the show’s villain and Elden Ring.
