Culture news Disney+ finds the right formula with Star Wars. Just released, The Acolyte series is already breaking a record
Star Wars: The Acoly has been available for a week and it is already breaking a record in 2024. After the release of the television series Ahsoka in 2023, Disney seems on the right track with the universe created by Georges Lucas.
In 2024, Star Wars will be in the spotlight at Disney+
The series The Acolyte has been available since June 4 on the Disney+ streaming and video-on-demand platform. Barely a week has passed and it seems that the new production set in the Star Wars universe is of interest. According to figures reported by Deadline, The Acolyte generated 4.8 million views with its first two episodes.. A viewing record for Disney+ in 2024.
Figures which testify to the success, at least for Disney+, of the series. It must be said that the platform communicates episodically on the number of views generated by its productions. It’s a safe bet that if Disney is talking about it, it’s because it is proud of what it has achieved.

The Force with her yes, but until when?
However, the mobilization of spectators is not a guarantee of success. On the ratings aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the expression “Two rooms, two atmospheres” sticks to the notes of the public and the press. The first ones do not at all validate this prequel being located 100 years before the prelogy (28%). Conversely, journalists who have seen the first four generally validate The Acolyte. The JV editorial team was able to see them and it’s for them the best Star Wars series made in front of Ahsoka, Obi-Wan or even The Mandalorian.
Before The Acolyte, Ahsoka generated 15 million views in the first five days. Enough to think that Disney+ seems to have found the formula with its Star Wars series, at least to generate curiosity among the public. To see if she manages to retain him. Response in the coming weeks.
