Star Wars Has Always Been Broken On Rotten Tomatoes

Summary As controversial as The Acolyte may be, Star Wars has always been broken on Rotten Tomatoes. There's something strange about the way Rotten Tomatoes has come to dominate online discussion when it comes to talking about the quality of movies and TV shows. In theory, it's a review aggregate site, a way of simply seeing the average opinion on the latest film or show. In practise, it's far more, and good Rotten Tomato scores are often major parts of a marketing strategy.

Star Wars Has Been Review-Bombed Since 2010 Even the prequels were review-bombed It's easy for modern viewers to forget that Star Wars has always been divisive. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the initial response to the prequels, where there was initially quite a savage backlash. I was on the outskirts of the fandom at that time, and quickly learned there were parts of the forums I would choose not to venture.

There was an even darker side to this. In October 2018, Morten Bay of the University of Southern California conducted an analysis of the social media backlash against Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He found "evidence of deliberate, organized political influence measures disguised as fan arguments." There were signs many of these posts were non-human bots, while others bore signs of being Russian trolls.

At this stage, I really should make an important clarification: all this isn't to say there aren't legitimate criticisms to be made of either the prequels or The Acolyte. I rewatched Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace on the big screen as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations; while I loved the experience, I could see the movie's flaws.
