It's ok to kill people sometimes as long as you're pretty sure they messed up your life?

You could say the OG had the message that it's okay to become a terrorist if the government kills your aunt and uncle.

Sure, but it had other messages too. I'm not sure Acolyte had the one.

I would say the message of the acolyte was:

Evil can be committed by good people with honorable intentions.

Just because it looks spooky doesn't make it evil.

Also, I think it also tried to flesh out two unpopular ideas from the prequels and sequels with the virgin birth of the chosen one and the force dyad.
