Star wars acolyte star Amandla Stenberg "white people crying was the goal".

[Curried Goats]

Um, the original trilogy was a trio of white actors as the heroes, with two seasoned white character actors in supporting roles.
They only shoe-horned in a black guy (Billy Dee Williams) in the second movie, and then largely forgot about him in the third.

Prequel Trilogy - Another trio of white people. (Although since they were either the parents of or in the original trilogy not much to do there.) Shoe-horned in Samuel L. Jackson. That's it.

Disney Star Wars is more diverse, and some people are losing their minds.

Some of the choices were questionable, like Rose Tico, the most hated character since Jar-Jar Binks.

But Star Wars fans need to be less toxic and just be happy with new content. You aren't going to get the same thrill that you go in 1977 when this was all new, but you can still enjoy it.

Empire was the the first movie my dad and uncle took me to see in the theater. I love the original trilogy and while everything that has come since is hit or miss and doesn't quite hit that nostalgia high I get from the classics but people are a bit extreme in their fandom.

I mostly enjoyed the first two episodes. I agree with Harpy Eagle that Andor is the best thing they've put out of the the new stuff but the rest was enjoyable enough.

Here's the thing, guy.

The ONLY REASON why Lando was included in Empire was because there were all these complaints about Star Wars Too White even back then.

He was criminally underused in Jedi.

Now tv and hollywood has flipped to over-representing black in movies and advertising

Side note on Star Wars... I was big nerd for it and really enjoyed seeing the Star Wars content at Disney World when I went there on my honeymoon.

My wife, on the other hand, is from China and has no idea what any of this was.

A nice thing about Disney Plus is that you can watch classic movies and listen to them in Mandarin (or any of a bunch of other languages).

So I am kind of reliving these movies now in a whole new way.

Cater to a minority population. I wonder how much money they lost?

"We don't make star wars for straight people and white men!"

later.......

"Straight people and white men aren't paying to see star wars! They are racist homophobes!"




straight people and white men.......

I watched the first two episodes and it seems interesting so far. I like it.

The whining crybabies get offended at everything. They can’t even watch a show about aliens and space wizards without getting upset. Sad.

She's not crying about anything. She's celebrating and being celebrated. You're the salty bitches.

As long as you think this way, the perma ghettos will not improve. And the resources will eventually slow down or worse.

Do you even think? The ghettos were caused by government policy. It's going to take government policy to dismantle them.

your tweet left out the rest of what she said...

“We wanted to make sure that, you know, those who, you know, have been affected by the way in which the media misconstrues these events actually have a real sense of empathy and are able to place themselves into the shoes of our communities and understand that these are not just news events. These are happening to real people. They affect us in really deep and pervasive ways.”

Were there sad violins playing in the background?

Actually, they are making a Snow White with a Hispanic Actress, and the usual suspects are losing their shit.

(I don't know why Disney feels a need to remake all these classic animations in Live Action, because they are mostly terrible.)

I shouldn't be surprised, the creators claimed they made the gayest star wars ever. And somehow they believe r2d2 is a lesbian.

âThe Acolyteâ Creators Joke About Making âGayestâ âStar Warsâ Series And Lesbian R2-D2âAngering Right-Wing Critics

“The Acolyte” creator Leslye Headland, who is a queer woman, joked with an interviewer that the series is the “gayest” entry in the “Star Wars” franchise and that robot character R2-D2 may be a lesbian—angering anti-“woke” critics.

You're a contrarian. So I don't believe any of that is true, you just want to imagine that you, one of billions of internet strangers, is going to piss off people and make them mad.

Perhaps. I do not see Prog elites changing those policies. A tougher way is needed.

This may surprise you, but some people enjoy Star Wars shows and don’t throw a fit when the show about space wizards doesn’t conform with their political views.

I don't know if R2DS is a lesbian, but C-3PO was definitely gay-coded.

Actually, if the rest of the series is as good as the first two episodes, she'll be fine.

Not exactly.

‘The Acolyte’ Has The Lowest Star Wars Audience Scores Since The Holiday Special

The Acolyte has managed to put up the lowest audience scores in the entire history of the Star Wars franchise, save one classic failure.

This article shows just how badly Disney has done with each offering worse than the ones before. Except for the holiday special. That was "specially" bad.

Some people. Obviously, very few.
