@@danabney4433yeah I honestly think they care more about diversity and representation than the actual story, and they think the audience is like that as well. That’s why they’re so confused when people get upset with plot holes and the rest of the bad writing. Their attitude is “hey we included a bunch of lesbians so who really cares if we had their stone temple burn down”. They think any boxes they check in terms of diversity are more important than how good the writing is, and they can’t understand when the audience doesn’t feel the same way.

Not even remotely. The first time the Jedi have encountered any conflict in a thousand years is in Episode 1? There were countless stories, comics, novels covering all sorts of crises the Jedi encountered and had to contend with. The Stark Hyperspace War, the Yinchorri Uprising...Jedi would always run into possibly fatal situations, it was the nature of what they chose to do, the role they chose to play. What there weren't, for sure, were a bunch of Sith running about out in the open.

The channel is directed towards female geeks. Also the term Mary Sue is defined as "a character archetype in fiction, usually a young woman, who is often portrayed as inexplicably competent across all domains, gifted with unique talents or powers, liked or respected by most other characters, unrealistically free of weaknesses, extremely attractive, innately virtuous, and generally lacking meaningful character flaws. Usually female and almost always the main character, a Mary Sue is often an author's idealized self-insertion, and may serve as a form of wish fulfillment. Mary Sue stories are often written by adolescent authors." The Mary Sue channel aligns with the values and direction that Leslie has, so it makes sense why she agreed to do a interview with them, because she knows she wont get her shit wrecked during the interview.

Don’t shoot the messenger, but to acknowledge Theory’s encouragement; We should be careful about going for the low hanging fruit and attacking anyone’s appearance, etc. As a certain orange man once said “I never attacked him on his look - and believe me there's plenty of subject matter there." 😂 Let’s judge based off of character and actions and she is completely morally bankrupt on those. That’s grounds enough to go after her, because while people can alter their appearance, ultimately we look how we look, she doesn’t have much control over that.

They are purposely ignoring fans and sending opposite messages of true Star Wars, so why would I want them to make more?

As someone who works in the creative industry and in Tech...I can easily identify people like Leslye Headland. She's very adept at selling her ideas and presenting herself as intelligent by wearing the big goofy hipster nerd glasses and talking about obscure references to things people know little about. But in actuality she's not skilled or talented herself. She's just a "pitchman/woman". An "ideas" person. Anyone who has worked in the creative field or studied with creatives in school, knows these types of people. Their only talent is their ability to talk.

She has always come across as any know it all college aged film snob. Usually we grow out of that phase. The fact that she is a 40 year old woman just shows how doomed Star Wars is.

[@theoldhermit2601]

Her admitting that even as an adult she didnt understand what "seduced by the dark side" means is just insane 🤦‍♂️ Being seduced by the dark side has never meant it literally looks sexy or attractive physically (look at Anakin when he very first turns, the team working on ROTS intentionally made him look sickly and pale), the story (and george lucas) has always said its much more like a drug or an addiction to it. Just like people can be seduced by addiction and inner demons. Not *literal* seduction, but seduction as in being slowly strung along that path and being deceived into seeing benefits to it until its too late.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

Absolutely. I would add that literal seduction _could_ work too if done properly. Seduction can be overpowering just like a drug, so it follows the dark side could prey on those weaknesses. But you would have to make it clear in the writing that this is a dangerous thing. Also because kids are watching you would have to make it _suggestive_ , NOT explicit. Just put enough into the subtext so that only adults would understand what was really happening. Even the prequels did (or tried to do) that. Done properly it can be very a powerful and relatable warning. Of course that’s not what Leslie Headland did. Her scene was straight out of a cheap erotica novel and was extremely cringy.

[@retroboomer3197]

It’s puzzling why Hollywood insists on cranking out media where every character is morally bankrupt, unappealing, or just plain annoying. This trend reflects a misguided belief that moral ambiguity equates to depth. In reality, it often results in a disengaged audience left with no one to care about or root for. There was a time when media offered a clear distinction between good and bad. Heroes were admirable, villains were loathsome, and the moral lines were boldly drawn. Sure, it might have been less "realistic," but it provided a satisfying narrative clarity that is sorely missing in media like The Acolyte. We don't need every character to be a paragon of virtue, but a little more effort in creating someone-anyone-worth investing in wouldn't hurt. The Acolyte epitomizes this unfortunate trend, delivering a story devoid of any likable characters, leaving viewers with a sense of detachment rather than engagement. Hollywood, it’s time to reintroduce some clear-cut heroes and villains. Let’s bring back the days when audiences could leave the theater feeling something other than apathy.

Yeah I don’t see how anyone can defend this. It must be entirely because they like the diversity and “themes”, because even as a self contained story, it’s contradictory and nonsensical. Indarra was killed by a dagger but Osha survived a crash landing from space. Even if you don’t care about the show breaking canon, it breaks its own logic constantly. Mae says she’s gonna turn herself in, and then when a Jedi tries to arrest her, she tries to kill them. Aniseya turns into an evil cloud but then when Sol stabs her she says she was gonna let Osha go with them. They’re searching for a vergence in the force by combing the dirt with metal detectors but they don’t notice the massive fortress carved into a mountain. Not only does this show not function in the Star Wars universe, it doesn’t even function as a self contained story.

This is what makes Anikan's non-compliance such a enormous deviation.

[@jamescampbell8482]

It's not about a birthday at all. The whole point of the prequel trilogy is that the Sith are finally coming out of hiding to orchestrate their ultimate plan of taking over the galaxy by instigating the clone war and playing from both sides to destroy the republic. The Phantom Menace has the Jedi say "the Sith have been extinct for a millennium" "I do not believe the Sith could've returned without us knowing" " hard to see the dark side is ." The Sith in the Phantom Menace confirm that they have been in hiding for that entire time when Darth Maul says "at last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi, at last we will have revenge." When Qui gon says "I have encountered a vergance in the force" "located around a person?" "A boy " The point in the Phantom Menace is that Anakin is a unique thing in the force that you don't see every day. The Sith are something that you do not see every day anymore. The acolyte series runs headfirst at 1000 miles an hour into every plot point from the Phantom Menace like it's a fucking brick wall ! That is the problem. Not only is a vergence in the force not an oddity, it's happened to an entire planet that is supposed to be lifeless after a huge hyperspace disaster. Witches have created two force sensitive beings that the Jedi are now aware of. The problem is the story in the acolyte diminishes the intelligence of the Jedi and makes you ask "how in the hell could they have missed all this?" It goes back to the skit that SWT did where Palpatine is trying to seduce Anakin. "what? Two?" Lmao When JJ blew up Vulcan in Star Trek 2009, it was a huge controversy up until the point that you realize it's an alternate timeline. No conflicts with the established lore. If this show came out and said this is an alternate timeline, it would be the same thing. But the fact is they didn't pay enough attention to the source material in its own internal logic. They are using the concepts of Star Wars like a vergence in the force, but they are ignoring the fact that the Phantom Menace treats these things as a mystery and an oddity. It's jarring for somebody who is going to watch the Phantom Menace after they see the Acolyte. This interview makes me understand what Leslie is trying to do much better and actually appreciate what she's trying to do better. The Jedi are Haughty assholes without oversight in the high Republic era. OK fine. But the fact that I'm getting this from this interview and not from the content itself is a huge issue. If Manny's character is supposed to be the good guy who is the rebel, that's great. Don't set this story 80 years before the main story where the roles are completely reversed.
