I'm glad there is at least one of the original SW fans sharing my "Enough with the Skywalkers" feeling. Having a "cinematic universe" is good for telling different stories, not the same one over and over again.
The only audience that Disney cares about in this whole matter are the stockholders- and I doubt many of those asshole so-called "fans" can't even afford to buy one share!
You hit the nail on the head here. "It’s performative, because it’s not really about the lore at all." The lore is just the cudgel that's being wielded.
As to your point about what happened in the fire not quite being all it's been cracked up to be, I don't want to say *too* much about what I'm thinking for spoiler reasons, but I think we're dealing with a "from a certain point of view" scenario. The point of view in question in episode 3 being Osha's.
Well, variety for the sake of variety is not exactly a good thing... The entire lesbian witches thing is ridiculous, their chanting, that scene with the two ridiculous witches trying to push mother something using a combination of the force or whatever, everything is ridiculous, pathethic, uninspired...
The acting is lame because instead of casting the best possible actors they went for "diversity" and even worse, nepotism...
I wonder were they burned those hundred millions supposedly used in the show.
Yup I'm just reading the article now after the series has ended.
I'm a progressive person, I've had gay friends my whole life and I come from a multicultural family. I ignored the anti-DEI whining and watched with an open mind, and the series was garbage. It's exactly the kind of show that gives ammunition to anti-progressives because it was terrible but for anyone to say it is, people can hide behind pseudo-activism to act like it wasn't.
The entire time I felt like I was being preached to about morality and inclusion by a priest currently dick deep in an altar boy. The whole thing stunk like it was made by people who spent more time getting cocaine enemas in their mansions than learning about scriptwriting, casting or lore.

It blows me away that that’s the takeaway from this show - I kind enjoying it

So I’m just reading this about a month and a half later.
Anyone feel like telling me how the Acolyte wasn’t utter shit and all the detractors were just bigots?
C’mon. Tell me about how great and progressive the Acolyte was.
