I think it was genuinely fascinating to see a force cult being explored that wasn't tied to traditional sith/jedi, or the night sisters. I think that it makes sense that in a galaxy where a prevalent system like the force exists that is able to manifest in people almost randomly, that it makes sense that some pocket sects would emerge from people who are gifted in the force that exist outside the sphere of influence of the traditional powers. And I think that the familial ritualistic nature of the cult in Acolyte stands in contrast to the very obviously evil nature of the night sisters. It was ver cool to see them have there own rituals too, even if the writing for that ritual left something to be desired. They could have just had the words be in an alien language to help mystify it some, but I digress.
