Disney Cancel The Acolyte - Actress Blames Racism
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- The Acolyte was the biggest flop in Disney Star Wars history, as it was attacked by almost every fan of the Star Wars franchise. But now things have just gotten worse for both Disney and Star Wars as they cancelled The Acolyte season 2, despite having plans for it. This has come across as hypocritical as the actress in The Acolyte, the producers and Hollywood media have blamed the backlash on a vocal minority of bigots, but clearly it was the majority of fans, and that's why they have cancelled season 2 of The Acolyte.

Maybe it was cancelled because of racism. I mean she was pretty racist.
Good point it wasnt the fans that were racist or well some folks were , hopefully a small percentage. But she was the real racist in the end her comments and that stupid diss track
Maybe her goal should have been to make a good show , instead of how she says it’s to “make white people cry”
@@AlexxxPerales That does sound racist to me, I dunno...
But isn't disney racist for firing the lead actress? I still try to understand the rules here.
@@patrickd9551 "Rules for ye not for me." -Disney probably
The only racism displayed regarding Acolyte was by the actress stating, "she likes to make white people cry." Well, who's crying now.
Seriously gross, don’t know how this stuff has become normalised and how these people think it’s ok.
Hate has thing, you know ? Most of the time it just bounces back ...
Being an Indian, I never understood why calling someone N-word is racist, but openly demeaning, hating & rejecting opportunities to whites isn't!
What's the actual meaning of Racism out there?
she still gets a lots of money that she didn't deserved
Cry with joy after it got canceled
She blames racism but somehow didn’t notice it was her being racist.
Turns out, she's what she sees in others
yep. when you see someone immediately cry RACIST, it's 100% pure self-projection on their part. that fakeblack Cleopatra was the same.
She's the queen of projection 📽️
I mean... She is. She is half white. And throw in some Greenlandic ancestry as well
she's the real racist and thinks it's others.
Yes, it was canceled because she's racist.
Everyone's racist in a world where Samuel L Jackson is the highest grossing actor of all time
Yeah, movies with black characters seem to do well. Black stars are not a new concept. The fact a show can fail in 2024 and be blamed on racism is ridiculous. The world isn't more racist in 2024 than it was in 1960.
Samuel L jackson carried star wars episode 3 and star wars the clone wars.
@@TraceguyRunenotice the pattern. That’s the most important thing.
Nick Fury is racist. He was white in the comics.
In Secret Invasion he mentions to to Rhodes about wrestling power from men who don't look like them.
@@TraceguyRune Original black characters and not blackwashed characters you mean. You need to specify. We love Storm from X Men, we loved Will Smith before all his drama, and so many people are gonna buy Frozone in Fortnite. People don't just hate Ariel in the new live action for no reason, it's replacing someone we love and hold dear as a character and their concepts that helped to bloom our imaginations. Black Velma is even one of the worst characters morally every portrayed in a show. When a character is race swapped it is an act of racism.

I don't give a f*ck about the color of characters. I just want GOOD STORIES. Is that so hard to understand?
Unfortunately, it is. Because quality is subjective while diversity can be quantified, so it's easier to tick off a checklist and call it a day.
I do care about color of characters, especially a remake of original films like Lil mermaid, snow white, or romeo and juliet.
Acolyte? IDGAF cuz i didn't even watch.

The main character's mentor and father figure was killed because of his skin color....
By the main character.............
Yes because it's 2024 and good stories are not as important as racial diversity and different sexualities
Amandla Stenberg was incredibly racist towards fans and misandrist towards men but the mainstream media decided to ignore that and roll with her narrative.
I am SO happy this dumpster fire of a show was cancelled and star wars fans do not have to put up with her insufferable attitude and terrible acting from her emotionless face.
And calling all of us gay. Very homophobic considering she used it as an insult.
I was having a bad day... this makes it a little better!
@@Kingmadman-1wait, seriously lol? I thought she was happy that the show itself was "the gayest star wars show." She or some other person said it in some interview.

it blows my mind how actors and writers, who work in the industry, do not have the specialised knowlegde neccessary to recognize bad and good movies or shows
The actress can blame whomever she wants, but the fans know it failed because the writing was piss-poor.
I am not in all those woke discussions so I really don't care about all that unculture war. However... The way they depicted Jedis is spit in the face for with utter disregard for 47 years of Star Wars
Also her acting was nonexistent. She has 1 expression. lol
Piss poor is a compliment
So was her acting
@@ProjectExMachina Disney writters been trying to turn the villains into victims/heroes and the heroes into villains/nasty characters. Is a reflexion of themselves, since they can't identify with the heroes, only with the villains, they tryin to write them into being the incomprehended victims. For examples we have Cruella, Malefica, in the upcoming Mufasa they trying to make Scar the victim and Mufasa the usurper who stole the throne.
In Star Wars they been systematicaly removing the while male heroes, and they trying to make the Jedi look like some kind of heinous kidnappers and just overal bad... They are so bent into that they even go against the lore/canon... in the precuels, is well stablished Jedi doesn't take kids after a certain age to be trained, Anakin was younger then the girls in the Acolyte and they didn't want to train him, of course also beause of the fact Yoda felt fear in him. Here in the Acolyte the girls are way too old to be trained according to the Jedi's own rules and they still tried to take them, then they have to make the guy be incompetent by not trying to just levitate the girls and instead he tries to hold the whole bridge wth them which obviously was too much for him...
Is just an absolute disgrace the level of "writting" in this show... from the fire in space, to the burn of a freaking stone cave, to the dialog, to how op the sith guy is, the fact they included Mundi just to have some "known" Jedi master, and how they even totaly distroyed Plagueis... that was the worst insult... and we only have the consolation that they wont expand on that...
I’m not surprised it’s cancelled. I’m more surprised they openly admitted its cancellation publicly

@@Zeitgeist2000 agreed
They failed because they're playing into a demographic that doesn't even watch Star Wars. Lol.

Forget a lot of peoples favorite Jedi is a black man.
Yeah, and when you think about it, Mace was the last line of defense against Emperor Palpatine and the rising empire. Went straight to his room to question him and actually got to see how evil he was up close. Never would have needed A New Hope's events to happen if Mace captured or killed him.
@@richardklein1167 And he was about to. Mace defeated Palpatine in a man to man fight. He just didn’t realize Anakin was going to betray him like that.
She dropped a diss track about fans and acted surprised when it failed. That's like a boondocks joke.

Don't blame racism: blame rubbish screenwriting, poor casting, bad acting, lame direction, and lore-breaking agenda-laden storytelling. (Thumbs up to the VFX crew though who always knock it out of the park.)
I blame anti-white racism. And women.
Don't forget bad acting by the lead who happens to be black. She doesn't have any emotion on either character she plays in the whole show. Just a flat stare. Her acting isn't overly terrible otherwise, but she makes it so dull.
I kind of liked it up until the whole "the Jedi are evil, see, they defended themselves! Look, he killed a lady that was attacking him! He saved the girl that wasn't trying to burn the place to the ground (though I can't see how any of them know Mae started the fire other than Osha telling them, but I think they told her Mae started a fire as soon as she woke up...) who literally said she was going to kill her sister. That whole episode with the witches all dying suddenly because I guess their powers really really suck since fighting back against them makes ALL of them DIE... man... I don't think anyone can make sense of that one.
@@anonamatron the problem with acting is you can't just have moments where you are good, the fact she cannot emote, cannot talk and can't take direction means she would have had no career if it was not for the year of our lord 2024, she's not qualified to be an actress/actor/whatever the fuck her pronouns on this are, when some youtube skits have more personality and chemistry than she delivers in a production that cost over a hundred million dollars is utterly wild.
It was not the fact she is qualified for the role that got her the job, it's so blatantly obvious she just hit the most check boxes on a piece of paper written by the utter tool that was the director. And it's not even racism, Lando and Mace Windu are among the most popular characters in SWs, making that claim was so stupid of them.
Yeah exactly. I don’t think it failed as much because it was “woke” or whatever, but more because the story and writing was just plain bad.
@@anonamatron She happens to be Danish-American, but calling herself 'black' comes with the advantage of victim points which can be redeemed at times such as this. Now, if she was from Haiti or Somalia, she'd really have something to cry about.
This so called "actress" should never act again, she was atrocius just like the show was.
She can't claim racism when one of the best characters is Mace Windu, and basically everyone loved Samuel L. Jackson in Star Wars.
And let's not forget Lando.
The irony! She’s being racist and promoting hate speech by doing the very thing she’s calling everyone else for.
You know, if leftist ideology was the dominate government body, then we’d be living in a totalitarian society under their corrupt greedy rule. It’ll be like Animal Farm except with humans and the tagline: all humans are equal, but some are more equal than others, paint the white man red!
@@janesgems7hell I would have loved it more for leia to end up with Lando instead of Han Solo…I just dislike Harrison Ford
Course she can. Otherwise she'd need to take a hard look at herself and that will never do
Well that's because Star Wars fans feel that it's totally appropriate for occasional side characters to be black or female. But a *lead* being black AND female?? Blasphemy. If you don't believe me, read the audience reviews.
From the "most helpful" review on google, per 5581 people who rated it as such:
"They've labored to turn this into a female franchise."
"Strong and independent ma'me that don't need no man saga type of movie. Made for Mary Sue crowd."
"No one wants a girl boss movie."
"Instead of writing the best story. It's more about identity politics."
"Force is not female when it's male dominated.
Pronouns pronouns pronouns."
From the third "most helpful" review on Google, per 4116 people who rated it as such:
"seems designed more to cause controversy and annoy fans sensitive to “woke” tropes. It feels deliberate. There aren’t any masculine characters at all. There aren’t feminine characters either. Nobody is attractive, funny or charismatic. Just wooden and bland. They go out of their way to insert an obese Jedi. These are supposed to be disciplined trained warriors. It is immersion-breaking because it is so “current day” 2024 US socio-pandering commentary…not escapism."
"The casting is 'diverse' yet feels deliberately discriminatory. It clearly excludes certain demographics in a way that feels very intentional. If you are that demographic, you will notice it, and clearly the message is 'this show is not made for you.'"
So that alone is 10,000 people explicitly telling you that they're upset about who these stories get to be about.
I'm really tired of people screaming Bigotry, Racism, Sexism, Homophobia when their product/show/actions suck. No one liked it, there's nothing nefarious about it. The show was terrible and now their attitude is terrible.
Exactly, they are watering down the meaning of those words for decades now.
The whole reason they use words like bigotry, racism, sexism and homophobia is because they know their show/film/product sucks, and they use those words as their shield to make the audience look like the bad guy.
We don’t care if the director is a woman, trans, black or asian. Just be good at your job
Yeah they act like Lando and Mace Windu were never a thing. People don't refuse to watch a show because non-white people are in it. They refuse to watch a show because it sucks.
I'm tired of us as a culture continuing to put up with those malignant parasites.
Her acting was TERRIBLE. She was so arrogant so often online and she crashed and burned like she should have.
In the series she was traumatized.that is why she acted like that.your family killed, you won't be traumatized?
how can an "actor" be woke. She said all nerds are gay, she literally misgendered everyone.
Also called c3p0 gay. And said this wasn’t for straight white men sounds very misandrist and racist.
She is a total tool, but "gay" isn't a gender. You don't go to the grocery store and see bathrooms for "men", "women", and"gay".
Well, that's the current definition of "woke".... being willing to insult everyone for rage-bait.
@@gerryorourke7122 she's a complete tool, but since when is that a gender? Last time I went to the store, I didn't see "mens room", "ladies room", and "gay room".

And Lando Calrissian
He wasn't a main protagonist or face of whatever media he has been in. I get what you're saying but if Anakin and Luke Skywalker were black originally, I don't think Star Wars would be the franchise it became. Still have to appeal to the masses, cos the masses want to see their faces
And claims of misogyny, but somehow Daisy Ridley led through films
I’m so sick and tired of this. Every time people so much as criticize woke stuff the creators just so their racist or homophobic, it’s so god damn pathetic

This actress is becoming unhinged and is in serious danger of threatening her career. I really hope someone older can sit her down and offer some solid advice. Usually this kind of stuff is evidence of a mental health issue, or something in her background is causing her to react towards people this way.
If she doesn’t adjust her attitude soon, she’s going to become rotten fruit for the industry that employs her. No one wants to work with a head case like this that offers constant headlines because of stuff she says. She’s seriously going to hurt her career if she doesn’t get it together soon.
Toxic people like this will then lash out at the industry when she’s considered not hire-able. Claiming they are racist or sexist for her not getting the jobs she wants from Hollywood. But these people are doing it to themselves. Please Amandla, consider going to a counselor to get some help.
I feel like the problem for people like her is that no one ever gave them perspective. Everyone kept telling them that they're so talented and amazing, and if anyone doesn't like their work it's because they're jealous.
Pretty sure it's already over for her, Acolyte was among the most expensive flops to ever hit Streaming/TV and a major contributing factor was how horrible of an actress she was, unskilled, unqualified and unable to do her job, it's blatantly clear she just hits check boxes and that's how she got this role.
And the one thing Hollywood needs more than forced diversity is money and by got she lost them a boat load, it's unlikely she will ever have a major role again.
Nothing says “out of touch” like thinking that the most hated TV show of recent memory would get a second season.
Soooo true.
Walt Disney was in touch with people and knew how to deliver.
Modern Disney can’t do that.
I very much thought it was getting a second season to spite the fans.
Star Wars and the production teams, actors, all have been very hateful to the fans and material.
Seems, maybe, we're returning to a bit of normalcy. Maybe.
Is it really worse than Velma tho? I feel like that’s the most hated TV show in recent memory
"But the hate is fake, it was just review bombed!" XD
Ok Kathleen cancelling The Acolyte is your big win, you can leave now!
🤣
Honestly, she hasn’t had a single big win since being put in charge of Star Wars. What makes her think she can get one now? Sure, the sequel trilogy made money, but that was only because the sequel trilogy didn’t exist yet to kill all Star Wars momentum. Those movies all suck. Just stop, KK. Not everyone is capable of running a movie studio. KK is probably the best evidence of that.
@@Spacemans2023 Scotty was referring to the quote of KK saying she's waiting for a big win to leave

@@wolfgang4534 yes correct 💯
Victim mentality will always hold you back. Take accountability. This experiment failed. The show sucked. Was canceled because of that and not racism.
The hatred of female leads and female directors is the narrative they wanted to be true. I'm 48 and I don't know any original SW fans that had that take. I thought Daisy was a good choice for lead. I just think they put her in a terribly written SW trilogy. Then we found out that there was no clear vision for the trilogy, that each director just did their own thing... which is exactly how it felt.
Exactly, if they wrote rey better and didn't shoe horn her as a. Skywalker replacement and just kept her as a unique force user, her movies would have been better received and she'd be no less loved than our characters we all love.
@@carloz1536 Agreed
Yeah I think daisley Ridley is hot. Not too bright though. She's towing the line for the money. As if that wasn't enough already. Eff me she should pursue her desires already...
Oh i hate em.
You could literally revrite Rey and Kylo and make rad trilogy with them. Also Fin. Make Rey be a true nobody (since you dont need to always be from famous family from desert planet or something), make Kylo going dark side more logical but also make him redeemable and then have him and rey fall in love (but with a build up, not a cheap kiss and done) and make them have kids in the future (like at the end of the movie to show Skywalker bloodline is allive and that they go away from old Jedi mistakes). Also Fin could be force sensitive (cause stormtrooper jedi is something we all wanted) and have him and Rey learn the force together whille entire cast cooperates together using their strenghts in same way old crew did it. Also they could make at least one scene where Ford, Fisher and Hamill are on screen at the same time (niw impossible, RIP Carrie...). But they choosen ,,modern" way...

It is NOT racism. It is shitty storytelling.
everything in this is horrible except the fighting, music and camera work in my opinion.
It isn't racism, sexism, or any other trigger word -ism.....it was a terrible story that wasn't produced, written, or directed well. It was a bad idea that visually made it worse. It is/was an intentionally divisive product that failed at everything.

It could've gone well as a Star Wars murder mystery set far before the other movies, but didn't because they were given a blank check to do whatever they wanted.
The Acolyte was difficult to watch, but Leslies comments about Sol being sexist and women should reject their fathers only made me hate the show even more

Is “Racism” a new fad word that talentless people use when describing people who just want a coherent non lore-breaking tv show? 🤨
It was a flop, a disaster, an utter catastrophic event of television and a franchise. A bomb.

The word Racist came out around WW1 as a propaganda term used by Bolsheviks. The word used to be racialism which was more Taxonomic and recognized trait differences between "breeds" of humans. The Bolsheviks turned it into a propaganda term and used it as a cudgel to push race war instead of class war... now today everyone uses the term as an intellectual censorship to country any argument involving crime statistics. The word has always been a propaganda tool not related to genetics at all.
Diverse? 300 female characters and a handful of male characters with men being either the antagonist or entirely incompetent. Much diversity.
What do you expect from Cat Lady Kennedy and Lesbian Headlamp?
The failure of one.
The failure of two.
The failure of Leftiiiiiiiies
Nah, just stupid liberals
We want quality programming, and this show is not that.
Exactly!
Race card gets more use these days than Visa, MasterCard, and American Express... COMBINED!
Funny how somehow there’s no “racism” against Avatar given the main female co-star is not white, the Acolyte was rated decently and didn’t get a huge backlash, and the lead is not white. These same guys love Alien and Aliens even though the lead is a woman. Spoiler alert, IT’S NOT RACISM OR BIGOTRY OR MISOGYNY. It’s just a terrible show written by bad writers who don’t actually love Star Wars.
The actress can now return to her true calling - making cringeworthy tik tok videos :)
Nothing of value was lost.
Ahsoka wasn’t a Jedi Knight. She was a Padawan learner.
Come on, Amandla, give us a out of a job tiktok dance. Come on, where's your haha I destroyed star wars energy?
Break dance lol
She just starts spinning on her head going “I’m so broke idgf about discourse, give me a job so that I can be on the right course”
Crazy that in the same week, disney releases alien, with the first african American android and it got praise by everyone including critics
Exactly!
Mmmm I wonder: why? Is August the month in which racists take vacations? 😂
Not all critics found _Alien: Romulus_ to be worth watching.
i.e. RedLetterMedia.
@@mamelandro3972shhh! You'll give them ideas for excuses
"The first african American android".
Is this supossed to be an accomplishment nowadays?
I just came from a Snow White drama explanation video, and honestly, can Disney do *anything* right anymore…?
Remember kids. Kathleen Kennedy told Leslye Headland's first draft a "great Star Wars story" but made her rewrite as "her own story." If we need to blame anyone, blame Kathleen. She doesn't understand the IP.
I have tried searching for it but couldn't find anything. Would you share where you got that from?
@kadinnui2282 yeah, let me look for it again. I heard it from another youtuber
The failure of one,The failure of two,THE FAILURE OF MANY

"We can clearly see that most fans have zero problem with equal and fair diversity"
Well, that's a lie.. If you went into any community you'd see the amount of shit people say, that's definitely not true.
The Acolyte did have its problems, but racism is indeed in fact a problem within the fandom. To lie about that is just silly. Ignoring something doesn't magically mean it's going to become non existent.
How DARE YOU not like/consume our product??
-- Disney wokelings.
Nothing to do with "woke", claiming it is plays exactly into what Amandla Steinberg is saying about bigotry.
It failed due to poor writing.
Hollywood, Netflix, Apple, Disney, have been telling us, implicitly and explicitly, for over a decade now: If you don't like this thing we're selling, it's because you're a bad person.
And no one in the writers' rooms or the studios said: Wait, what?
@@XAVR_ you're looking at this from a single dimension. The director, showrunner and the producers explicitly said that they are activists first, film-maker second (making them incompetent to provide entertainment )and wanted to push the DEI agenda which then leads to them building up this shit show. You can't expect a structure to stand on its own when the foundation is corrupt.
It’s easier to blame racism than to admit you took a flamethrower to $500M of Disney’s money.
It isn't about money, it's about programming the youth.
@kesamek8537social engineering..pushing a gay agenda..make masculinity evil..weaken men..take over.
In the immortal words of Jeff Winger from the TV series Community "I think Not being Racist is the new Racism"
It's like Disney bought the goose that lays the golden eggs and then gave it to the butcher.
If I remember correctly the story did end with someone cutting it open to get to the eggs.
@@jacquelineking5783 I did not remember that, it's been so long xD Interesting though! "It's like poetry... it rhymes..."
Then threw the golden eggs in the trash because they weren’t diamonds
Do y’all ‘member when everyone tried to get the original Star Wars cancelled because Lando was so hated? And then ‘member how the prequels got so much heat because Mace Windu was such an awful character?
Oh wait…everyone loved those characters and everyone agrees that Billy D Williams and Samuel L Jackson are two of the most beloved actors in the entire franchise.
Or like when everyone was so mad when Marvel race swapped Nick fury… oh wait
It’s funny how when you cast good actors they get good reception😂
Good actors who respect the work and don't make it about them and their race.
You think they'd learn?
@@Manning0151To be fair if they had of done that today it would have caught so much shit no matter how long ultimate Nick Fury was around.
Agreed, Lando is the best. I like him more than Han
6:10 you should've kept in Cavill's response to that. He basically said that fans get passioned about the stuff they invest a lot of time in and they have the right to say their opinion.
Textbook narcissism, her brain couldn't possibly acknowledge personal failure. It has to be something external.
And here begins the -ist and -phobes conga! Because it’s never the bad writing, it’s never the piss poor actors, it’s never what everyone says.
It’s about the agenda and the hopes next time works.
Disney is so out of touch with their fans it's amazing they still in business. In this day and age don't piss of social media
Disney adults, gaslighting 30-40 year olds who grew up in the 80s and 90s that their products are still good is how they stay in business.
If I was tasked by my employer to put together a plan to generate revenue, to then not sell what customers wanted leading to embarrassing losses for my company, to then look at my bosses to say its because of racism. I'd expect to be terminated and escorted out of the building.
We still need to thank this show.
Just think about all the CZcams channels that got started because of episode 3
Lol its racism when it was purely because it was poorly written and structured and didn't deliver on the promise on Sith centric show.
It's been cancelled? FUCK YEAH!!!
👍💯💯💯
LETS CELEBRATE!
She is the racist.
Blaming racism for your failure is such a worn out card to play.
If Racism is defined as bad writing, bad acting and the real racism of the production, then yes it was racism.
Nowdays self improvement is not a thing. Blame everyone else
Lack of accountability at its finest from Modern Disney
@@chasehedges6775Couldn't agree more with you my friend
So they admit Star Wars is a male dominated world, yet refuse to admit creating a SW series based on "strong female characters" was a mistake. Got it !!
I'm fine with them making a SW show for women, but this wasn't that. Most women can't relate to les space witches with no morals, character development, or romance arc.
@@brain_tonic Fr
@@brain_tonic ikr these people are stupid.
@@brain_tonic Yeah, it seemed the sentiment I have seen online was, "Who is this even for?" The problem wasn't a strong female lead but the fact that it was actively trying to put down its male audience, while also just being a bad show.
Oh we had actual strong female characters in Star Wars. Problem is Kathleen wiped them out when she rebooted the franchise in her piss poor image.
ah yes, racism. its always those darn racists who cant appreciate a horrible show
-Remember… $180Million Budget. But Nothing Happened In The Show.
So i see that they still can't accept that thier show was just shit....
It makes me think that the difference between shit and hit is just one letter, maybe the media just made a typo ahahahahah
I totally agree, Rey Cism Palpatine is to blame for the cancellation of The Acolyte.
I wonder if Disney will say that The Acolyte is no longer canon to the Star Wars universe.
Impossible. They'd have to admit their mistake.
It was cancelled because its shit.....even by disney FARCE wars standards
Rosario Dawson is a woman of color, but her Star Wars: Ahsoka series was well rated by both critics and fans. Can't be blaming 'bigoted fans' when they refuse to accept a crappy show that goes against their understanding of lore
guess racism also led Amandla to top the charts with her inspirational diss track 😂 guess it also slipped her mind Samuel L Jackson and Billy Dee Williams (who last I checked were black actors) were part of the original Star Wars…or maybe she never knew since their goal was to hire people who knew nothing about Star Wars
This is how their games goes.
1) What about Windu, Calrissian or others.
2) They respond with is that all. There needs to be more.
3) You give them more.
4) They get all happy.
5) You say what about the representation of the original group who are now being marginalised.
6) They laugh & tell you to get used to it as it's a new world & they are the ones calling the shots.
7) The DEI crap crashes & burns.
8) They lose their power. Go straight back into victim mode & scream about being oppressed & waaaycissm.
It's a power play. These types of people are not able to earn or build anything on their own, so they corrupt & try to guilt you into handing over the reign of power. Once they get it, they do the exact same thing of that which they profess to be advocating against.
If this show was all black, this privileged little boot would be screaming with joy from the rooftops about how great it all is. There would be zero calls from her to make the cast more 'diverse' at the exclusion of any other black performers to bring in Asian, Hispanic & certainly not Caucasian.
It's a huge grift to be handed power & influence. If you need to explain yourself, then you will always be on the back foot to justify this or that. Instead, you laugh at them, then laugh some more, then turn your back & walk away.
Hmm yes, surely it’s racism and not because of their utter incompetence.
Of course, anything else would mean they would have to take accountability.
It wasn't sexism or racism. As a fan of Star Wars since I was a kid I can genuinely say from the bottom of my heart this show was VERY POORLY produced. The writing was atrocious
It must be nice, as a human. To have a crutch that you can constantly use to fall back on and never have to accept blame or fault for anything that you ever do in life. God that must be nice.
You can use it, too. You would just have to be a completely pathetic loser to do so.
When all else fails call the fans racist
The Minute the director said Rian Johnson was an inspiration for her, I knew the show was going to be riddled with problems
with their logic: isn't it racist to cancel the one star wars show that is focused on black characters?
