It’s a generally bleak time for television; not just because of The Acolyte. Everything gets cancelled. Nothing gets a chance to find its footing like before. Companies wonder why no one’s watching and it’s because no one wants to get invested in an inevitable unfinished story.
I am once again begging Star Wars (and Marvel) to stop restricting themselves on their total episodes length for shows. The 6-8 episode seasons must end.
This dude just came up to me and my other two coworkers (both also women) and said “how much about Star Wars do you know anyway?” And they kinda froze and looked at me so I just stared at him and said “a lot.” And he smugly asked “what’s the name of count dooku’s fighting style?”
I would like to give further context to those who don’t know — my current job is literally a Star Wars centered job. It is imperative I know about Star Wars here. Not as in depth as this weirdo tested, but it was a very intentional (failed) mockery attempt💀
The Acolyte being cancelled is only going to fuel the most annoying people in the fandom who led a full-on hate train without even watching it because they don’t know how to think for themselves. Disney needs to stop catering to these losers.
What are examples in any form of media where a "brilliant song/painting/play/etc" within the story is actually as good as the characters act like it is?
Note: NOT the same as just "I liked it". It needs to actually fully match its fictional reputation
The last thing I wanna say is I did not tweet this to pat myself on the back. I tweet very candidly about stuff like this happening to me in the workplace a lot and I was sharing another instance to my followers. I’m not that type of cringe, come on now😂
I love all of the Star Wars shows with all my heart, but

just might be the best one. This finale was so incredibly strong and filled me with such emotion. Star Wars fans are eating so fucking good.
Am I the only person perfectly fine and not that bummed with Vader being the one to appear in Obi-Wan Kenobi rather than Darth Maul? I know we want more live action Maul but… their rematch is in Rebels whether you love it or hate it idk.
So many Star Wars fans are so impossible to please. I know this but every time something comes along I’m reminded of it more and more. Truly embarrassing, not gonna lie.
Everyone knew Darth Vader dies. He got an entire trilogy to explain his origins. Everyone knew Obi-Wan Kenobi dies. He got an entire trilogy to explain his origins and a series showing what happened between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. What’s the actual issue here?

"adventures", plz. There was never a female Odysseus or Daniel Boone. Females operate at a biological deficit: weaker in a fight & slower in a hunt. Not saying "no more". I'm saying slow that shit down. It's become a joke.

I feel like there’s a huge disconnect with some Star Wars fans in realizing that roles are cast based on physical acting auditions and not just voice and appearance
It happened again. A guy asked me if I “knew anything about Star Wars stuff” (he wasn’t being sarcastic, though at first I laughed bc I thought he was) and then proceeded to talk to me about the most basic ship. Again, I work somewhere where Star Wars is the sole focus.😵💫
“It just isn’t good storytelling” listen to me. Your lack of attention span and need for whooshing lightsabers and huge explosions far from dictates what is and is not good storytelling lmfao

He could have also been outnumbered in a 2-1 vote to be fair, especially considering he encouraged password sharing and seemed over the entire thing.
I need all Star Wars shows to be like

going forward because the way this show is put together is absolutely beautiful. The pacing is incredible. The setting is incredible. The practical set is incredible. Just an all around fantastic show.
Also since this has, for some reason, been mentioned in the replies: I DO NOT want Chadwick to be replaced???I’m talking about something that happens in the comics and has been speculated being brought to the MCU bc of the trailer. How did you read this and get that idea?
