Acolyte is officially the worst Star Wars spin off of all time.

It's terrible. But the last episode just bombed so bad. What a focking major screw up. It's as if they are trying to get people to stop watching. 

I'm a sucker for Star Wars stuff, this one though, I'm glad to hear they are ending it.

I think it’s kinda cool.

But I’m not bothered by women and non whites having major roles because I’m no insecure phag like the cultist are around here.

My girlfriend mentioned it to me yesterday. She's a tv/movie person.  I'm going to actually look it up now.

No official word on cancellation or renewal yet.  I can't see how they would renew this garbage, though.  But, it's Disney, they don't care about money.

Right. I just asked her again and she said she "thinks" they will cancel it, so, I misunderstood. Still, it's crap and we had a good laugh over it.

Some have made "woke" critiques of black actress Amandla Stenberg's leading role as force-wielding twins Mae and Osha. Meanwhile, others have taken issue with her parentage, as she was born from the Force due to the magic of two women, who The Acolyte does imply to be lesbians.

Series creator Leslye Headland explained to The Hollywood Reporter how while it may seem these characters are queer, their closeness "would be natural" due to the all-female nature of their community:

"They’re in a matriarchal society. As a gay woman, I knew it would read that their sexuality is queer, but there also aren’t any men in their community. So a closeness between the two of them would be natural. It seemed plot-driven. I would say it’s really reductive to call them lesbians. I think it means you’re not really paying attention to this story."

Not surprising this man child gets his Underoos in a wad over "Star Wars" stuff that real men who don't rely on their girlfriends for information haven't cared about since their childhood.

I've been dreaming all my life about coming across a planet just like this.

Seems like you're more animated about it than anyone else.  I guess you really do care.

Better light your Jedi robes on fire in protest.

Nah. I figure we'd have a peaceful protest instead and burn down some cities, assault some cops, murder some people and loot some businesses. 

I know I have your support.
