Basic dude bro I just met was told by a mutual friend that I like Star Wars, too. Dude's opening line: "So The Acolyte sucked, huh?" I extricated myself from that conversation at hyperspeed.

Lucasfilm really needs to reckon with its communication style. Sending cutesy packages to influencers is all fun and good, but actually stand behind the cast and crew and defend them publicly against attacks! The Acolyte's portrayers have been basically abandoned by them.

According to Tricia Barr's lore book #StarWars #TheDarkSide (released only in France and in Spain in 2018), the Nightsisters also usually procreated without men. It's what witches in Star Wars do, apparently, and # #TheAcolyte is just following the lore.

@miyoshi_michael EXACTLY. It's always insane misinformation. It's the most canon-conforming SW show, next to Andor. There are valid criticisms to be had regarding the craftsmanship behind the show, but something tells me people who open with "yo this thing sucks" aren't intersted in that debate.

I definitely would want comics to have a part in this, as they are a visual medium, but I think novels should also be part of the mix, in order to add inner depth to characters, plots and world building. This could essentially be Phase IV of THR. #TheAcolyte #SaveTheAcolyte
