It only took two episodes for THE ACOLYTE to become one of the most controversial pieces of STAR WARS content... and THIS is the truth about why it's so bad.

Yes. It looked like a CW series.. The music was dull. And the acting was bad. But I'm afraid to say that, because I will be called a homophobic.... Its funny, I live in ny, the most liberal place in America, I have gay friends, and family members, but for some reason LUCAS FILM tells me if I don't like this series its because I'm a homophobic... Because I'm 48 and white.... And by the way, I'm Italian.... Not white
You should speak with Kathleen Kennedy.
😂😂😂come at me bro😂😂😂
Hello, @SnarkyJay. Still looking as lovely as ever!👌
👏
Writers are confusing ones sexuality with a personality trait.
They're not really writers.
And that inevitably leads to stereotyping, exactly what they wanted to avoid.
But how can I truly understand a character without knowing if they are a top or a bottom?
Because they think your sexuality is your personality. Otherwise they can't check their boxes😮
When your sexuality is all you are, you get shows like the Acolyte
Female of color here... Albeit old. Liberal. Do not like any of this crap and resent Disney trying to weaponize "diversity" to excuse shoddy writing and bad decisions.
It is sad that it is expected to mention if you are "of color" or not now. We are all just people, the left have weaponised race so much now to divide. Glad you see through all this garbage.
61 yr old white guy here.
Everything DEI era Disney has done seems suspiciously calculated to me. Wouldn't surprise me if there's a think-tank somewhere, happy that all is going as planned. This is about zeitgeist replacement, not money.
Man of colour here. Hater of Liberals. The fact I'm agreeing with you means things must be really bad right now.
@@proto-geek248 The ESG/DIE (never use the words of your enemy's propaganda!) Affirmative Action shite comes from the top down, i.e., the multitrillion dollar investment concerns like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street and Fidelity. Read up on Mr. Fink, the CEO of BlackRock that just lost over 1 trillion dollars for his company in the last few months of 2024... ESG/DIE not only eliminates anyone watching this shite, but it destroys company's profitability... What I think is afoot is way more evil than just a hitler "I don't care about you, parents, just give me your children and I will mold them to my will..." and he was correct.
I'll be 60 in July, if w'all don't get nuked first... looks like the plan.
What has Disney actually created that wasn't stolen. Snow White, Little Mermaid, The Lion King etc ect, the list goes on. It's a corporation stealing fables and selling them to kids.
As a consumer, I have reached a point far more harmful to Disney that outrage or hate. Indifference. And indifference doesn't buy tickets, doesn't watched streamed content, doesn't even download it. Indifference walks away. And a company remotely interested in money should fear the large number of us walking away far more than they should those spouting hate and outrage.
I knew starwars was going wrong starting with the rise of Skywalker, and the last jedi Luke all pissed off throwing his lightsaber over the back of his shoulder, and squeezing himself out some fresh tittie milk the animal mother, I like to have had a fricken SPASM ! I went on ahead and deleted Disney + and haven't even seen Ashoka yet ,and this Acolyte no I'm not going to do that to myself hell no
hahah same here.. don't care what Disney comes out with.. I won't watch it, i don't care and it doesn't exist for me. LOL
@@user-cf2pf9gk3nI liked Ahsoka for the most part. But the book of Boba and Kenobi really needed to be movies, and not get stretched out to a series. Honestly last jedi is still the one Star Wars media i can’t stand
well said, I watched first episode, and refuse to watch anything else with this new series. Disney fails again.
I’ll never forgive Disney for destroying Marvel and Star Wars
Tbf Marvel has been controlled by Disney since the late 2000s so I wouldn’t say they ruined it since we got stuff like the avengers, GotG Vol 1, Infinity war and endgame
The irony in Disney claiming to represent females and minorities while simultaneously disregarding any comments we make against these garbage productions..
This show exists to market Disney Plus and troll the SW fans that KK blames for her horrible performance as President for 12 years. We should ignore it.
Yup. They only like the minorities that agree with them.
They're representing the LGBTQIALMNOP and nothing else
@@getyomuthafnmindright8029except they aren't, most of that community that's over 17 thinks this is trash too. As a fair majority of us are hardcore Star wars fans. They're representing their weird SW sex fantasies they have, someone needs to tell the bulldyke that just because her vibrator is made to look like R2-D2, doesn't mean the droid is a lesbian.
"Disney claiming to represent... minorities"
Rotten Tomatoes Star Wars: The Acolyte 27%

🤔
I'm afraid the Star Wars was dead the moment George Lucas sold his franchise. Ever then the force has not been with us anymore
i thought it was dead the moment an ewok appeared in 1983. but thats just me.
Nah, it started to die when he made the Special Editions.
Old George knew he effed up when he pitched his ideas for episode 7 to Disney and they were like "um, yeahh, no. This is ours now dude and we're not interested in going that way". From that point on the Star Wars we all knew was over.
Star Wars died when
Phantom Menace
was released.
The point where all of this went off the rails is simple. It wasn't when Disney bought it, there was a chance when they bought it that they could have done something special. The point where it all went bad was when they cancelled the expanded universe and announced they were doing their own thing. Then they hired Jar Jar Abrams, who is not known for original thought, to write and direct an original Star Wars movie.
People need to stop calling it Star Wars... Just call it the Acolyte.. That separates it from Star Wars.
"The Acolyte is being destroyed because it 100% ****ing sucks"... Hallelujah, Sister.
Yeah she was so on it!
See, Disney! Even a strong, diverse female hates your Star Wars.
No - clearly she has internalized misogyny.
@@rickyrayrosenberg420 So... she hates herself?
No, she's the wrong kind of strong, diverse female, don't forget they fired Gina as well.
@@rickyrayrosenberg420As a woman I have to ask, how do you come to that conclusion? Are women not allowed to speak up against bad writing and bad female characters? Should we be compliant and shut our mouths? That sounds oppressive.
@@LalaDepala_00 i was being sarcastic
How the f*** does a LITERAL machine have a gender identity?! ITS. A. ROBOT.
They did this once already, they made Han Solo's robot a sassy black woman, and then canonized that that's the personality of the Millenium Falcon... which you never hear about in any of the old movies lmao
The Force works in mysterious ways.
@@MrSmith-zy2bp Les Force
Exactly! these actors are insane
Because these delusional woke misguided idiotic twisted individuals feel they can say anything is what they want it to be
Kathleen Kennedy supposedly told her: "You've written a great Star Wars show. Now write a Leslye Hedland show."
Also, Hedland putting her wife in the show to play the Jedi Master at the temple -- she was just not very good.
"If you're not with me, you're against me."
"Only Disney deals in absolutes"
Karie Ann Moss gets killed by a puny little knife, YET, on the show Ahsoka, the one girl gets completely ran-thru by a fucking light saber, and, she not only lives, but is up and moving the next day like nothing happened.
Garbage. Pure garbage
Bro, Reva was stabbed by Vader. Yet in the next episode she’s flying a spaceship to kill Luke on a completely different planet.
@@noelv1976 Reva was stabbed by Vader twice, once as a little Jedi girl. Total load of shit.
I had to go back and check and she gets killed 7 minutes in.
Qui-Gon doesn't survive but everyone else does.
the Light Saber cauterized the wound and at the same time the "Force" induced healing. Maybe?
By blaming the fans, they don't have to take responsibility for crappy scripts and stories.
Welcome to the "liberal" mind - always blame someone else. The fault lies in our stars, not in ourselves.
At this point everything they're doing is to provoke regular people into reacting because the reaction looks like it's hatred and not legitimate criticism for terrible writing and acting etcetera it just looks like we don't like gay people or women because that's how the media presents it so people believe it. we're dealing with a group of bad people twisting reality presenting it to a group of stupid people trying to demonize all the people who understand that the evil people are evil
Hey, it takes two to fuck up!
One to fuck up, and the other to willfully refuse to ignore that they fucked up.
I turned off straight after "Attack me with all your strength". Then I looked around red-faced to make sure nobody saw me watching. How cringingly embarassing. 😳
almost as bad as Rose Tico's line, "That's how we're gonna win. Not fighting what we hate. Saving what we love." right after crashing into Finn with her speeder and right before that gag-worthy kiss.
I don't have Disney+, so all I know of the show is from the clips I've seen on CZcams, but I had a similarly bad reaction upon watching that scene. I was alone in the room, so no embarrassment from what other people might say, but I actually laughed out loud. I thought it was the stupidest line of dialogue I'd ever heard. I can't fathom the thought processes of the people who wrote, uttered, filmed, and edited that. If I'd been the actress, I'd have said "no, there's no way I'm saying that; it's stupid. Just let me walk up and attack her."
I suppose they thought it sounded all cool and badass and menacing, to have this character come up and challenge the Carrie-Anne Moss' jedi. The actual result was unintentional comedy. It actually _could_ have been cool and badass and menacing (or as close as garbage Disney Star Wars can get to it) if this Mae character had simply approached Moss' jedi and silently launched into a savage attack, but Headland & company went with that cringingly bad line because they're a bunch of ridiculous hacks.
after that line attack me with all your strength
I immediately shut off and said that this is terrible writing
When will they realise and admit that; “a fish rots from the head down!”. Blaming your customers for bad products is not good business sense 🙄 !
Disney didn't learn to support marginalized groups, Disney learned to use marginalized groups as human shields.
Jabba the Hutt wasn't a fat slimey bastard, just a misunderstood big boned gal that had a lot to offer and lashed out because she was never invited to prom!
they are skin puppets
Yep, human shields to their money laundering operation
This!!! Every brain dead project has pushed "marginalised" groups front and center so that criticism of the show is perceived as an attack on those groups.
That may be the most accurate summary of the situation I've ever read
I’m a conservative old white man. Not sure how we can be blamed. I don’t think any of us have Disney+ anymore.
Lol this.
100% true.
I canceled mine soon as I heard they were making this show.
😂😂😂😂
Same here.
I'm not entirely convinced that star wars TV shows and movies at this point aren't just money laundering schemes for Disney.
If losing money hand over fist is a laundering strategy... I'd say their bank account is pretty much 'cleaned' out!
Episodes 4, 5, and 6. That's ALL you need, that's ALL there really was.
No
1,2, and 3. It shows the first half of the tradgey that Anikan went through. We all agree that the newer movies suck.
R2-D2 is a Astromech Droid, WITH MASCULINE programming.
The information is straight from Star wars Wikipedia.
I think Leslye just called R2D2 a lesbian because she and R2 have a similar body shape.
Also Anakin calls R2 “he” in Episode 3.
“What was that all about?”
“Well, R2 has been…!”
“Eh, eh no loose wire jokes.”
“Did I say anything?”
“He’s trying.”
“I didn’t say anything!!”
SHE BUILT LIKE A FLATHEAD SHOVEL
And that is bullshit too, since R2-D2 can not be "masculine" at all. He is an "Astromech" a kind of robot which is not even meant to mimic or simulate any "human features" (unlike C3-PO who is meant to be a bit more "human-ish" so humans can easier interact with him as a "Protocol Droid")

I find it nuts that the "critics" on Rotten Tomatoes gave it 85% and fans gave it 25%. Not a good look.
I wonder how much money was put in critics hands to buy their praise. If there is that wide a margin between critics and audience feedback, then it's clear Disney shelled out a lot of money to these critics for their praise. Shameful!
@@SpeedwayRon todays critics are same graduates as leslie and others. so they think alike. similar views

I'm a AA male and pretty liberal and irritated with Star Wars and Marvel. It's crazy how they seem to enjoy aggravating their fans. They literally have me sounding like an incel. They exist in a bubble. Just the actress said, "in MY world, nerds are gay". Well baby thats all good but there are worlds outside of yours. Some of us don't care about your sexuality, we want good stories and entertainment.
When a character's color, race or sexuality is the primary point before a good story premise or character development that greatly reduces the number of people who would find a reason to watch it. But you can't get the Disney goofballs and their sycophants to understand something that simple.
@@technofilejr3401 absolutely
The goal is actually to demoralize you and grind you down. The modern "progressive" movement is full of hardcore activists that honestly want to destroy everything in western civilization with the theory that they will be the kings of the rubble.
Its absurd. But its true. They are Bolsheviks. I was a lifelong Democrat and was a "progressive" until it became clear the chaos and destruction of everything - including comedy, fiction, science, every institution --- have been infected by what seems to be the woke Borg.

This is the way
You are sweet (A Grandpa speaking here.) Thanks for saying what many of us Progressive, Open Minded fans are saying. Hey, I took my oldest son to the opening of A New Hope before it was "A New Hope. " We just want to see good stories about characters we care about. And hope for a better future. Keep up the good work.
Yea, what has your progressivism gotten us? This. This shit right here.
Snarky Jay is a great example of why I'd rather watch CZcams than any so-called major news network or entertainment rag.
37 yr white guy here. The reasons why I don't watch new Star Wars stuff are. They got rid of the Star Wars EU. They didn't map out the Sequel Trilogy. How they did Gina Carano. Putting DEI above good Story telling. And finally, lousy writing.
Spot in !
Gina was was a hack actress , how she did herself for rocking the boat is wonderful !! Wrestlers are rarely good actors she NEVER deserved the role , give me a break with her over powered cartoon antics and politics seeping into every aspect of her off screen avatar !!!
First sentence says it all “White guy” , diverse Starwar is not for you , thank you for moving on
@@seanperrydj She was great as Cara Dune, and her online comments make the typical SJW sound like a toddler.
@@seanperrydjappears you haven’t seen every other actor’s politics seeping into everything. But agreed, she’s not the greatest talent.
Disney is taking gaslighting fans to a whole new level. It’s become a go to part of their playbook. Show sucks. I hate them.
The Acolyte wouldn't even pass as a home movie! Every aspect of the show is broken. This review is spot on.
I tried to read the first High Republic book. I stopped after the 4th page. Whoever wrote that doesn't get that Star Wars is supposed to be exciting. I heard that an exciting part finally shows up on page 7. And it's a pretty thick paperback. I'm just not going to spend money on stuff that doesn't want to be entertaining.
Good video. Keep them coming.
I'm a tree hugging Liberal snowflake and I hate all this forced DEI crap. They always assume folks who don't enjoy these agenda-driven projects are old white Conservative dudes, but folks like myself loathe it, too. I recently canceled my D+ subscription over their abysmal new take on Doctor Who
Agreed- it’s just bad storytelling with bad priorities.
Thank you for being a reasonable person that conservative white dudes can respect!
Why would cancel d+ over doctor who, which is a BBC property and while Disney pay to distribute it world wide they do not impact the shows writing. That is Russel t Davies.
Personally while the opening couple of episodes were rocky on the latest doctor who it's been banger after banger since moffats return in episode 3.
You're still the problem.
I hugged a tree once...was upset when it didn't hug back
Disney only cares about pandering now. It's all about how gay or diverse they can make shows or movies, instead of writing good scripts and letting some of those elements flow organically. I canceled Disney plus a year ago, so it appears I made the correct decision.
Never cared about Disney in my adulthood so i guess i made the right decision
The ultimate goal of the Elites pushing LeG BiT agenda is to add Ped at the end.
Because they are Sat. Worshipers.
Disney only cares about
destroying itself.
Look, I’ve mentioned this before, but their “pandering” is more for marketing. Disney doesn’t care about diversity or representation. But randomly race changing establish characters or adding in unnecessary diverse ones, has been shown to be getting a lot of attention on social media. Yet, whether attention is better or worse, as long as people are responding to that, it’s how they get their money.
It’s the Panderverse. “Put a chick in it and make it lame and gay” - Eric Cartman
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the fact that their " target audience " literally hates their work, yup sounds about right, hey good going Disney blaming everyone but yourself, classic narcissism Disney!
I’ve been a lifelong Star Wars fan but basically stop watching once Disney took over. I just hope they don’t ruin the KOTOR story because that is one of my favorites.

What the producers and showrunners fail to realize is that Star Wars is STAR WARS --- like the title says --- it is battles
in space. It's about the Rebellion vs. the Empire. How is it that the Disney people fail to understand that? After all the
comic books and novels that gave us alternative storylines, the people at Disney give us no stormtroopers, no droids,
no smugglers, no daring adventures, no spaceships ... WTF? ... People wanted to see The Mandalorian because it had
a who dressed like Boba Fett and a baby Yoda. I really enjoyed Rogue One and Solo. If Disney is serious about impressing
SW fans, they should be making films and shows that have connections to Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, Lando, and our
two droid friends. SW may have rockets, but this ain't rocket science.
As a white straight male star wars fan thank you for all you said if i say anything I get called a sexist
I am so happy that you reviewed these episodes. I am a Asian, Mexican, German, Spanish male and I do NOT like this diversity crap that is going on. It does not have to be about me or my races. I seriously enjoyed the first 3 Star Wars movies in the theaters. And I own DVDs on all of the movies that I love, so I can watch them on my big screen TV at home any time I want. And that is probably why so many people are NOT going to theaters very often any more. Most of the very good movies are on DVD.
Another reason that people are not going to the theaters is the garbage they are putting out these days. I can’t see shelling out $75 for a movie that isn’t worth seeing in the theaters.
Anything that didnt happen under george lucas is not cannon and george lucas should have sold starwars to dc and wb
Star Trek fans are laughing, so hard right now...
To me, it's obvious that Disney purposely wants to destroy Star Wars. My dream job WAS to be a Disney writer. I always thought it's the closest to magic I could get. Now I run from that mountain of trash
Imagine the only strong straight woman jedi gets killed by a short knife 😂😂😂😂
and all the white Jedi are either fat nerds or balding skinny guys with beards lol.
To help push their agenda, you'd think the jedi getting killed would have been a white guy.
And the only white guy is going to be the person that kills everyone. Bet. They already showed they can control him. I died laughing when that happened. All the people on the screen standing there and they choke out the white guy with their thread, the thing they just said can’t be used as a weapon
I'm getting more and more convinced that showrunner and writer Leslye Headland got her last name from a birth accident.
Hahahaha this made my laugh so hard!!
Lmao! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Well she WAS trained by and was close to Harvey Weinstien, so...
The comments before they dropped the show are shields. They're meant as such and they work pretty well since every review has to address them beforehand and that leaves doubt in viewers, "why do you feel the need to justify yourself?" and it leaves everyone and I mean everyone who isn't in the group that's represented, much more lenient in their critizism by default.
Like she said here, she's the target viewership they want, it's her they must satisfy and apparently they don't.
Ain’t nobody watching The Wokolyte
"Headland wasn't focused on writing a good story?" I would go further and say she is incapable of writing a good story or writing anything original or interesting.
"Evil cannot create anything new. It can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."

Funny coming from Tolkien, since he himself stole stories from actual civilizations in Africa and Papua New Guinea and passed them off as his genuine creation. Little known fact.
Tolkien never wrote this and attributing it to him is incorrect. We can stop posting it on every piece of media until the end of time
Fan expectation:
✅ Sith perspective story.
✅ Mature and grounded story similar to Andor but with the mysticism of the Dark Side.
✅ Well-written Sith protagonists with in-depth philosophical views on the Force and the galaxy and their conspiracy to upset the status quo.
✅ New Star Wars timeline.
Reality:
❌ The Acolyte…. Gay. Gayness. Queerness.

Glad to see someone out there speaking the truth that literally can't be attacked in the same way. Keep up the good work and here's to hoping Star Wars finds it's footing again.
How can the show be terrible when there’s only been two episodes so far? This is a new world and story and we should be open to new things and characters . As long as the story is good why should there be hate for this show. It’s unbelievable that Star Wars is being called gay. Not sure if Lesley Headland was thinking while she was speaking.

Where did all the money go? If I was Disney, I'd be demanding an audit of expenses.
Its not coincidence George Lucas came out within the last week to talk about how disney doesnt understand star wars. He knew what was coming, the fact he stayed silent through all the other nonsense disney lucasfilm has done shows just how bad this show and its impact on star wars will be. Kennedy's incompetence tiny knows no bounds
A robot assistant and a screaming trashcan actually perfectly describe 'the community' 😂
I gotta say not even weed could save this show, I watched the first two episodes after indulging in some and even then I was like wtf this, not even my high logic could process this
Don't forget the hiring of a lesbian director who worked closely with Harvey freaking Weinstein.
I always thought I was a left of center libertarian. The past few years have taught me I’m apparently an alt right conservative that would make Mousolini uncomfortable. Now, that might be true, or a segment of “The left” is so disconnected from reality that they cannot face the smallest of critiques.
I have seen R2-D2 put his little probe in many of input ports through out the series' and films... He's either a straight, bi, or gay. But he is defiantly not a lesbian. lol
You're a middle-aged man, says Disney?
Either Disney is bonkers, or I have been unnecessarily restricting my dating pool.
Just because her wife acts like a robot in the series, headland thinks all robots are lesbians...
It also seems that Disney is in high production mode and no quality mode.
Yup.
@@snarkyjaythe exact opposite of what Bob Eiger said they were doing.
High propaganda mode; and outside of the lazy, dumb woke writing, the production value of these shows is seriously pathetic especially considering the outrageous budgets.
Harvey Weinstein: Close your eyes...what do you see?
Leslye Headland : Absolutely nothing!
Thank you for being my voice!
It wasn't meant to be any good. The whole point was to ruin Star Wars.
The level of vendetta Kathleen Kennedy had against the men that she got coffee for -- and who gave her a career - is just extraordinary. Wahmyn
@@rickyrayrosenberg420 is that why she's doing it? She has a grudge against those people she once worked for? I don't know anything about that hag, nor do I care. I was just curious since you brought it up. So many people have said she wants to destroy it more than anything else.
@@rickyrayrosenberg420I think this goes way beyond KK, and more to do with the Blackrock CEO intentionally torpedoeing SW and MCU for maximum demoralization. Former KGB spy and propaganda minister Yuri Bezmemov covered this tactic during an interview he did way back when.
Star Wars was a billion dollar franchise, it is now a bargain bucket franchise.
I gave up on Disney and have cut my subscription . Good riddance of Bad Rubbish!
I am one of the "Old White Men" that originally watched the first Star Wars film during Summer 1977, and no, none of you that were not alive back then can really understand what it was like, yet "Snarky Jay" that is not why I subscribed to your channel.
I have no idea why CZcams threw your content at me. It just happened, and I was pleasantly surprised - because you are FUNNY. I laughed my ass off listening to your commentary.
Perhaps you could create a video describing your writing process?
Additionally, how are able to access "clips" and utilize them, without having the IP owners crash your product?
Keep up the funny Snarky Jay, and thank you for it.
I knew Acolyte was going to be bad Star Wars has gone down hill
Amen to that.
It has been at the bottom of the hill since Disney bought it
The oxi clean was hilarious 😂😂
I love it when you get fired up. I'm a white old Australian man who has been into Star Wars since 1980. I was watching a movie the other day, called "Anyone but you", I assume this is a reflection on how real young people like you act, in it the couple hate each other with a passion that ends up being a reflection of their love for each other, so since you hate Star Wars with a passion, you must in fact love Star Wars, and in the end you will kiss and make up, and do an silly song together at the end :)
I'll be absolutely Wienstein'd in the keister if this review didn't just completely nail the very core of not only what makes Harvey's Girl a complete failure before the word "action" comes rolling off of her fish lips, but why Disney's decrepit "understanding" of storytelling is going to completely fvck everything that Ryan Reynolds isn't around to tell them "No, that's what an idiot would do".
Well done, youngster. You might make an apprentice yet.
The scene where she white guilted the Jedi into apologizing and drinking poison was one of the worst scenes ever put to film. They needed to give some flashbacks or context. It's not mysterious when you have no clues as to why it would have gone down like that and you can't recover from that. This Jedi Master offed himself for this dark sider and we're just like 'oh, yeah...I guess.' The costumes are shocking. They little fresh off the rack from the 39.99 section at Spirit Halloween. They look like nobody has every worn them.
SPOILER ALERT: Based on comments about episode 3, the Jedi who drinks the poison feels guilty for something terrible SHE did in the past. And she blames them for what SHE did. Basically the narcissistic mentality that the fault of one's own actions always lies with others and that is why they must feel guilty and pay with their lives for it.
@@juanjoseleonvarea2495I will elaborate on this and spoil more. (Not like it matters)
Jedi show up to her and her sister's village. They want to take them for training. OSHA wants to go Fanny Mae doesn't. Fanny Mae burns a book which burns down her village killing everyone. Fanny Mae falls into a hole and survives. OSHA goes with the Jedi. The Jedi who were there now blame themselves (for some reason?). Fanny Mae blames the Jedi and has started hunting them (again for some reason). A total and complete lack of accountability on her side and I have no idea what the Jedi are on about.
@@juanjoseleonvarea2495 Dude, I can't wait to see what kind of dumpster fire mental illness they put on display in Ep 3!
It's true, the opposite of love isn't hate; it's apathy. As an OG Star Wars fan, I just don't care anymore, other than watching people tear Disney down for destroying the IP.
Why are bad movies made, especially with huge budgets????? can anyone answer this?
"Vader 74" If R2-D2 is gay then Leslye Headland's brain is made of mush. She is inviting the fans to all out war, which she is going to lose because the fan base is stronger than her.
"R2-D2, a genderless screaming trash-can..." Ma'am, how dare you? I mean you're not wrong, but how dare you?
There is only one way to salvage Star Wars, put it on ice for at least 20 years, no new movies or tv shows at all. Hopefully there will be some people from the next generations that can pick up the pieces and produce something that takes it out of this Disney malaise.
This is the cinematic version of the Clone Wars....endless carbon copy woke shows, scripts, actors, etc...lol
True: Quintin and I discussed Kill Bill in 2003, in very few words as words were not necessary. Headland - have you SEEN Kill Bill, 1 & 2? Those are movies, written by writers who write stories, with real actors playing characters.
Nice to see female fans are sick of this crap as well! Forbes quote was perfect "The only ground Disney are breaking is in the cemetery as they bury our hopes and dreams" Perfecto! I'm out of this garbage! SW is dead!
I'm an old white male and hate the show because the character development, plot, and adherence to Star Wars "science" sucks. But that makes me a racist.
wait a second! is there really character development in this show?
Racist!
...
Joke
Regarding R2-D2 supposedly being a lesbian:
(1) When R2 has all three wheels on the ground, R2 is basically a *TRIPOD.*
(2) When R2 connects to the computer systems on the Death Star in *A NEW HOPE,* R2 uses what might be called an _'internal male probe'._
Just sayin'....
Nothing KK couldn't fix with pliers and a drill.
Disney clearly didn't do their own research. There are so many truly strong female characters in the Stat Wars universe such as Ahsoka, Padme, Satele Shan, Bastila Shan, Darth Talon and many more.
Disney has hit a new all time when even the online pirates don't want to even touch this crap.
