    I loved the premise, I loved most of the actors, I loved most of the characters. But, the writing was worse than usual and made both me and my wife, cringe. I’m still sad. It got canceled.

    Yeah, sadly. I actually liked The Acolyte and didn’t get the hate.

    One of the more relaxed channels generously said it was because there was no consistent lore or lore checkers/keepers at Disney for Star Wars.

    But I dunno, I think it was mostly racism and other bigotries.

      I wholeheartedly agree. The worst enemy of Star wars is Star wars fans.

      Remember Rose? All of that backlash was pure racism.

        No I don’t remember Rose, sadly.

        What/who is Rose?

        Edit: Oh okay I looked up her up to refresh my memory, and yeahhhhh. It’s ironic since star wars culuturally appropriated so much in the first place.
