Star Wars Explained Tries to DEMONITIZE Star Wars Theory - My Response

[@TheStupendousWave]

I appreciate this video. Lots of context. Just wanted to add a bit of my very small part. I have had little to no personal interaction with most Star Wars channels over my career by design. I’ve tried to respond to people but sometimes emails and comments get buried. In 2016 I turned 18 and my life changed. I moved and devoted more of my time to KZbin, but I didn’t feel ready to jump into a community I knew little about. There was a period of time where I spent a lot of time online in my early KZbin career and I felt it was getting unhealthy for me. So, I decided to keep my channel more personal. Watching this I’m glad that I did. I think trying to de-platform creators is dangerous and wrong. I’m glad Star Wars Theory was candid with this.

I don't like mentioning this often due to the current cultural climate, but I happen to be a trans woman. With that said, I am also a long-time subscriber to your channel. Your passion for Star Wars is contagious, which is why I am a fan of your work. Furthermore, I have never once seen you say anything remotely racist, homophobic, or transphobic. I appreciate that, and if anything, it makes your content all the more approachable for me. 😊 I find the trend of writing off legitimate criticism as bigotry to be utterly aggravating, if not downright reprehensible as is the case here. Yes, there are bad actors out there who are bigoted, one specific youtuber comes to mind, but I won't name, name's. You, on the other hand, are nothing like that, which is very refreshing. As a queer Star Wars fan, I find it very difficult to air out my grievances with the direction disney has taken the franchise. I am still salty about The Last Jedi. 😂 Honestly, the best way to subvert in that movie, in my mind, would be if Rei joined the darkside with Kylo Ren, and Finn was trained by Leia or Luke to stop Kylo, and The First Order, and try to bring Rei back to the light. I mean, Finn showed potential with a lightsaber he could've been Force Sensitve. Instead, they wasted Finn's character to the point that even the actor was upset about it. Rambling... I am glad more people of color and LGBTQ people are being represented in media. The problem is that these producers and writers think representation is enough and do nothing noteworthy with the characters or the franchises they butcher with bad writing. As you said in another video, you want a good story. I agree totally! With Star Wars I am fine with the diverse characters. Just do something with them! Make them good characters that fit into the Star Wars universe without butchering what came before in said universe. What they did to Luke Skywalker's character was abysmal! As for the Acolyte, the wholesale destruction of the canon and shoehorning in Darth Plagueis creeping in a cave is for me, eyeball-bleeding levels of bad. Rambling again... 😅 The point is I never once felt uncomfortable watching your critiques, I have never picked up on any dogwhistles. You seem like a nice person, and you are clearly passionate about Star Wars. If anything, I would go as far as to say people like yourself, with an earnest passion and deep knowledge of Star Wars should be the people working on Star Wars, instead of a woman who clearly was not a big fan prior to working on it, who used it as a vehicle to work out her daddy issues. *coughacolytecough* 😂 As a fan of Star Wars myself, the type who has read a few of the books from legends, as well as the comics, I enjoy your content. I also enjoy your honesty in how you criticise current Star Wars media. Unlike some bad actors out their you never make it about race, gender, or orientation, instead focusing on the story and the lore. You getting lumped in as some kind of bigot is to me ridiculous. Keep doing your thing, and know you have fans like myself who can see through the BS being thrown your way! 👍 P.S. Sorry, I am a little late to comment on this. 😊

BUT I am assuming nothing more happens negatively against Theory’s interests besides drama. If he actually ends up demonetized or something actually ends up messing with his bottom line, then yes I would say it’s lawsuit time. Otherwise what he does by just addressing it, laying out his side, calling out bullshit, and in the end capitalizing on it is a great move.

When you reach the top, anyone can be your enemy, even those you thought were friends. - It's easy to be narcissistic in darkness.

Do you know what I find truly hilarious? George Lucas wrote the ultimate feminist icon in Princess Leia and then convinced the world that she was a helpless princess, despite what she actually did on screen. The Princess Leia that Han & Luke set out to “rescue” is not what they found when they opened the door to her cage, but the feminists were so blinded by their own rage that they never noticed it. Lucas told you one thing and showed you another. He gave you the hidden badass in a veneer of helpless Princess to separate the ones with more than half a brain from the ones without. I grew up military and then enlisted when I was old enough. Mark Hammill also grew up military. I would wager that the movie I watched in ‘77 showed us things we saw on a daily basis. Princess Leia comes out of that cell like a pissed off gunnery sergeant who still manages to keep calm and collected in a horribly executed escape plan. I certainly wouldn’t cross the Princess Leia I could see in that film, but that’s for different reasons. Watch that movie again. When Leia makes the “walking carpet” remark, remember what you are actually seeing. She is taking point and putting the support weapon in the squad farther back to provide better cover. That lets her fall back while Chewbacca covers her if they come across significant resistance. You just saw a bossy princess though, didn’t you? All through that movie, she does things only a competent, capable, experienced military field commander would do. Only Chewbacca even gets close to her record of one shot, one kill. Lucas even included a scene where she steps out to fire and doesn’t, demonstrating fire discipline. She didn’t have a good shot, so she didn’t fire. (That’s before the bridge swing, by the way.) C-3PO delivers the line that sets up the Princess Leia character as someone to watch closely in the first line of dialogue. “I really don’t know how the princess is going to get out of it this time” starts the series off with a mystery that 99% of people probably missed altogether. Lucas told you to watch the princess in the first line of dialogue in the entire series. That imperial officer saying “holding her is dangerous” has a double meaning. He could be talking about her political clout, but he could also be referring to her ability to escape, eroding the belief in the strength of the empire to impose order. And that’s immediately after she lied to Vader like it’s no big deal. All of these little details are why the Acolyte failed. All of these little details are why the sequel trilogy failed. The writers could not see that they had a second wave feminist hero in the Star Wars franchise and they are trying to create third wave feminist icons that do not fit. The force is not female as Kathleen Kennedy said. Her saying it proves that she doesn’t understand the force. What is the light without the dark? What are the Jedi without the Sith? What is logic and reason without emotion? What is female without male? That misunderstanding of the simple nature of the force is why she fails. Channels like SWE depend on Disney churning out as much crap as possible so they can make content. That’s why they are going after you for not gushing over the Acolyte. A thousand garbage shows would give them thousands of videos to make. Because of that, you are their enemy.

[@solidg3legend868]

I remember seeing this old funny SW Machinima parody. While not canon does show another badass side of Leia, the scene starts with after the two stormtroopers had just stunned her and informed Vader. They're standing over her keeping guard, one says. "Think I turned the stun high enough, I usually leave it on stun level 4." "That's enough to knock out a bantha you idiot, 71 is just fine. And almost immediately she gets back up, kicks their asses and they're like. "I told it wasn't high enough!" So if a stun setting of 4 in their words is enough to knock out a bantha, just imagine how much 71 would be, and she gets up and kicks their assess before being stunned again. Think on that. And while I know of course it's not canon to legends or such, just goes to show you what a badass she was. Something nobody will ever be able to replicate these days with how the whole world wants to watch itself burn.

[@SSJRadioBluth]

To add to this beautifully worded comment. Princess Leia (May the force be with Carrie Fisher always) also LITERALLY SAVES EVERYBODY IN EMPIRE TWO TIMES. She literally stays back on the final ship on Hoth after successfully leading an evacuation/defense. Then it's her that leads the whole ass escape from Cloud City yet taps into the force while suffering great grief and used it to save Luke as he's literally inches away from death.

I'm half asian, if that counts as 'color' anymore. So I'm a female [of half-color?] twin. Acolyte sucked because it thought 'the dark side is cooler' and in the words of its creator, the dark side is what drove her to write that story. I want stories where there is good and evil, where unselfishness is lauded above selfishness. Finn was the only good thing about ep7, in my opinion, because he was GOOD. He picked up a lightsaber he didn't know how to use, to face a sith lord. [and then they went nowhere with it, and try to trash Luke's legacy etc]

[@user-tm8jt2py3d]

​@@jovankandola what does that even mean, that if it was based on historical events then its time to get crazy? the "hate and harassment" designation has been a Disney marketing strategy for a decade now, where they cast very strategically then disavow imagined hordes of racists before anybody even has a chance to get riled up. everything that has ever existed in media or public forum will have unhinged weirdos commenting on, but highlighting those doesn't make it a trend. people watching their favorite IPs get ravaged in the name of real-world social trends, then responding with ridicule, are not campaigning for hate and harassment.

[@jovankandola]

@@user-tm8jt2py3dI agree with you to the point where yes sometimes Star Wars and Disney do have agendas at times in the stories, but you have to also admit that there is a large group of “fans” that whenever they see a person of color woman in a specific role they immediately label it as being “woke” when it’s literally just a regular casting or even hate on a project before it’s even released. I feel like sometimes people label these stuff as woke when it’s not just so they can get mad at it. I’m not saying that this happens every single time or that the entire Star Wars community resorts to harassment and bullying, but you have to admit that there is a large enough amount of people that do it for it to be problem.

[@PREDATORNINJA2]

@@jovankandolathe only time I have seen people say it’s woke because of a person of color was the little mermaid live action and a few others were they race swap characters. Which is being woke! You can’t change a whole characters race to fit your narrative without being racist. If diversity was that important to them they could have made new stories. Although We see how well that goes with the acolyte though were pretty much no one with the exception of a few trolls cared about her race.

[@Acueil]

Those people have very shaky principle to begin with. They are afraid that if they talk to Star Wars Theory, they would actually agree with him on a lot of things, and therefore will be viewed as alt-right by their own fans.

[@victorcates9330]

If they denounce negativity and are relentlessly positive, then maybe LucasFilm throws them a bone, cultivates a relationship. It's "knowing which side your bread is buttered on". With the various interviews around the Acolyte, I had this lingering question of whether disney only offered interviews to people they knew would be biased. For all we knew, Headland might have prior connections with these people. I'm not being conspiratorial. If Headland paints herself as a hardcore fan with strong LGBTQ preoccupations, then it's moderately likely that she might have been hanging out in the same chatrooms with the people interviewing her. Some of her interviews seem like they had compared notes extensively beforehand - like they were already operating on identical wavelengths. Explained want to talk incentives. Disney has incentives to cultivate relationships. Channels/outlets have things to gain by being agents of LucasFilm's PR team. So trying to demonitize criticism would strike at a competitor. If there are fewer competitors, they might rise in prominence. And Disney might know who had been a good little stooge.

[@antense7en474]

The bottom line here is that disliking Disney Star Wars content, calling it out for being subpar, or calling out the actors and actresses in said content for being piss poor at their jobs isn’t a “hate campaign”. People are allowed to dislike things that other people enjoy and vice versa. I can’t believe that this actually needs to be said, but here we are…

As a person of Color, I have loved Star Wars Content on you channel. The hate is real. Damn. KEEP YA head up, Theory. You "are" Star Wars on KZbin in my eyes. I have never felt like you were racist or threatening to people of color.

Bruh that firstbmessage from Star Wars Explained sounds like a Sith Lord trying to establish a relationship with a new padawan at the temple

[@Commander_Shepard.]

Nah, even a Sith Lord would be more subtle than that.

[@glcsander]

Imagine someone you don't know aproach you like that "i see you are making some money, how did you do it?" That's such a weird way to start a conversation

I'm gonna keep it short. Keep doing what you are doing. There is a reason why you have a large fan base. You not only put in the work, but you are also the person you are on and off screen! It's a sad but true quote "If you don't have haters your not doing something right." Keep being you brotha! Cheers man

They label anyone who criticizes Disney SW as dangerous or bigoted, use ad hominem slurs in emotion fueled rants, and routinely call into question any detractors' innate characteristics as a form of insult. Almost always offering no evidence or factual based argument. The ironic nerve for them to call us bigots. They are a cult, Disney is their god.

[@Skyline_NTR]

Yeah pretty much. Attacking the person instead of addressing the topic/argument is basically the quickest way for cults to out themselves. B-but feelings > facts in current year so...

Mark Hamill himself doesn't like SWT. Blocked him on Social media....do with that what you will

@@jkranites Mark Hamill had his 15 minutes of fame, 40 years ago. Who cares who he likes or follows. He's irrelevant. These days, the more he speaks, the less people like him.

I used to watch Star Wars Explained but I quit after his Acolyte videos. There's no way someone could legitimately review that show and not criticize it. Is it a possible to like the Acolyte? Sure maybe. But to call it great and praise it? Nope. Lost all credibility.

[@emmanuelsilvera8032]

Same, that's when I realized I can't support this guy anymore.

[@troylawson1902]

I just unsub from him and been meaning to for a while this video just even further proved it. As I said in a comment earlier he does suck much boot licking for Disney and bending over for them and taking it. Seeing his review on the crappy Acolyte LIKE 😳😳🥴🤨🤨🤨🤨🙄🙄 You would think this show is the best show there has ever been and he can't say anything negative about it besides all the Canon breaking BS that he is fine with like smfh.

[@on_the_same_page]

Same here. I unsubscribed to both Star Wars Explained and ScreenCrush. Either these guys are watching a version of the Acolyte from an alternate reality or they’re purposely inflating the show to get on Disney’s good side. That was enough for me.

As someone who works with SEO professionally, it's wild the amount of people that don't understand that the more people who are looking for similar type content/keywords to your work, the more people are going to discover your own work as well.

[@Jaig_Eyes77]

This honestly breaks my heart. I used to be a big fan of Star Wars Explained, but in the last couple years I've definitely seen the signs, especially from Molly. The hateful rhetoric would just bleed out into the open with Molly openly bashing "right wingers and conservatives", and Alex would just nod and offer no push back. Same thing with Justin on Eckhart's ladder, he always seemed so genuine in his love of Star Wars that I would just try and ignore his insane political Twitter feed. Its always division and politics with these people, they preach tolerance and love while spouting the most hate filled garbage behind a mask of openess and acceptance. Again, it just breaks my heart. Seeing that these people behind the scenes were just penny-pinching back stabbers is just sad. Love you're stuff, Theory, keep being yourself and make awesome content!

[@aldunlop4622]

Yeah, there's nothing worse than "having your eyes opened" sometimes...
