Disney's decision to cancel The Acolyte after just one season is utterly baffling. Imagine creating a show set in the High Republic era, an unexplored period in star wars lore, bringing fresh perspectives and focusing on new, intriguing characters and themes—only to cancel it. It's even more frustrating when you consider that the show faced backlash from the beginning mainly from alt-right and racist fans who couldn't handle a series that dared to be diverse and multilayered. By caving to the pressure of those who oppose diversity, Disney is essentially giving a big FUCK YOU to the rest of the fans who were excited for something new and meaningful in the SW universe.
The Acolyte, while imperfect, is a solid setup for what could have been much more. It had so much potential to expand the star wars franchise in new and exciting directions. but of course it wasn't given the chance to grow its audience because some good for nothing incels felt threatened by the inclusion of characters who don't fit the traditional white male dominated narrative that Disney has been feeding us for years.
Fine Disney. Stick with your incels and racist fans. But eventually your nostalgia driven empty projects will wear thin and no amount of CGI young Luke Skywalker or green puppets will be able to save your ass. You fucking cowards.

(we all love greasetrap!Qimir so here's Them laying low and snacking. what are they looking at wrong answers only)
(ps the response to the Kiss art has overwhelmed me; grateful for all the follows and kind/horny words, this fandom rocks <3)
kill the narrative that The Acolyte didnt perform well compared to other Disney shows. The other shows were based on established characters and already had a dedicated fanbase and audience to start with. In contrast The Acolyte introduced us to a completely new era of Star Wars in live action with new original characters. And against all odds, it still performed well. Don’t be misled - The Acolyte is not a failed project. The real failure lies in Disney's reluctance to take risks and allow original ideas to flourish.

Seduced to the Dark Side
The word 'seduce' was always so jarring in the original Star Wars trilogy. My siblings and I used to laugh our heads off imagining Palpatine slowly raising his black robes to expose his pale boney ankle Victorian Lady-styles and this being what convinces Vader to join him.
The Acolyte doesn't ever use the word 'seduce'. Osha says, "That's the path to the dark side". It's Star Wars canon now that they had to start describing it as 'seduced to the dark side' because of Osha and Qimir
I LOVE the fact that Osha and Qimir have haunted the narrative for THOUSANDS of years, causing the Jedi in 9+ movies/shows to be like « Careful, a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away a bad guy got the girl by tilting his head and speaking softly and making her soup and telling her it was okay to have feelings. He even went swimming...(lowers voice to a whisper) naked. Be afraid, be very afraid. Try to resist »
That's the path to the dark side.
Semantics.

The Acolyte + some of my favorite shitposts, part 3
🍁Acolyte Autumn🍂 October prompt list is out! Tell your friends and join in on the fun!
The "sexists and racists" mostly aren't, They're people who like Star Wars when it's good. The Acolyte wasn't good. It's really that simple. Anytime somebody doesn't like bad Star Wars, ya'll scream sexism and racism. You blame people for bad product. Blame the writers. The # of "sexists and racists" is way way less than you think. You need to stop seeing "anyone who disagrees with what I like" as sexists and racists.
It's crazy, because I don't at all cry racism and mysogyny as soon as something doesn't actually work or is criticized as bad. So what is this bullshit argument, thrown completely at random, and who, I imagine, has the nerve to feel intelligent to throw around this kind of bullshit ? Everyone knows how the Star Wars community overall is full of racists and misogynists, in addition to an overall very toxic fan community, because of the way some people think they are "guardians of the temple".. This is nothing new and I don't understand what you're trying to do by trying to ignore this glaring element that influenced The Acolyte. There was literally a petition against the show before it even came out and we had any information about the plot. Stop pretending that hatred is caused by writing. Stop pretending that The Acolyte is one of the worst things to happen to Star Wars. This is bullshit, pure and simple. Oh, and everyone knows that these people are actually a vocal minority, attacking at the same time, trying to scare and intimidate to make themselves seem outnumbered. The worst part is that it works and really scares certain productions. The show isn't perfect, but it's not bad either. And it is especially very good in terms of themes, specific to or linked to Star Wars. Whether you like this reality or not.
OKAY OKAY listen to me carefully

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Just had the time to read Manny's post-finale interview with NYT, and I gasped at this part. Because this little scene right here,
which could only exist because Osha made the choice to wear the helmet, was my favorite underrated Oshamir moment. That was his "I knew it" chuckle after seeing Osha with the helmet because he knew her, and he knew she was curious and brave and would want to try it on herself. And now you're telling me this small important moment almost didn't happen at all!?
Thank you, Manny and Amandla, for my life!

friendly reminder: “the acolyte” watch party - part 1
it’s happening tomorrow (eastern time), and yes, it’s friday the 13th, so we’re going to voodoo disney or whatever lol. please join and keep the conversation going 🙏
GQ places The Acolyte in No 3 of the best Disney+ shows to watch in 2024. Warms my heart ngl.
I don’t know how many times I’m going to see “oh The Acolyte should continue because we want to see Qimir.” First things first, no it cannot continue. I don’t understand why people are not getting that the Acolyte is about Osha. We all saw what happened in the last episode. This is HERStory!!!
I get it. Qimir is a very popular character. I’m proud that Manny really embodied that role. However, what we are not going to do is erase Amandla’s efforts of playing Osha and Mae. I’m so sick of people trying to ignore her efforts. Y’all are basically enabling black women erasure. I do not find this okay at all.
Manny said he could not have done this without Amandla. I wish people would understand that. If they ever try to bring back Qimir in any way, then I’m not watching if Amandla is not present (or any of the cast and crew which includes Manny and Leslye). Because what we are not going to do is erase Amandla from her own show. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
