Exactly. You make up such an insignificant portion of the world, everything doesn’t need to “represent” them 😂

[@Jakob_23]

Idk people might just consider this sexist but as a man and only watching movies like Rambo, James Bond, Gladiator, Troy, Braveheart and etc… I just can’t watch stuff that isn’t about masculine essence, and stoicism, men who are brave and act as men and stand up to tyranny and corrupt government. I can’t stand watching most females do fighting and action. It’s just very unrealistic to me, especially when it comes to beating a bunch of weak pathetic males up. There are exceptions and good female movies but they are all pretty much older movies I like. Idk maybe it’s just a new time we live in and I can’t accept it. I just like our biology to stay the way they are, keep men acting like men and women acting like women. The genders have completely swapped roles and it annoys the heck outa me to see very pathetic non masculine males not be the men they need to be. And ever since Disney has made Star Wars every man has been a loser and a man who stands down to women. Mando was good the first season but eventually bowed down to Bo Katan. And to see all these women in Star Wars now be the ones playing the masculine role just bugs the shit out of me. I miss the old Star Wars when it was about a brotherhood of men who didn’t stand down as weaklings and stood up for themselves. Idk maybe I’m just sexist lol. I don’t hate women I just hate how they’ve treated men lately which could just be why I’m angry about it all.

@@LrTiger24 Do you really think individuals within the LGBTQ+ community want to move away from the vilification they get already by creating more...hate? No they don't, representation is important but not on the scale these producers want. People within the LGBTQ+ community just want to be quietly accepted. Your 'insignificant' comment does not help and shows how immature you are as a so called Star Wars fan.

My heart overflows with boundless joy for these profoundly life-altering internet points! What a landmark moment in my otherwise uneventful existence! To think, I have finally snagged a droplet of success in this vast ocean of mediocrity. I am positively quivering with excitement for what I have achieved! Indeed, my life has now been imbued with purpose and meaning, all thanks to these precious likes._ It's absolutely riveting, the spectacle of redditors editing their comments to grovel for likes from the faceless masses as if they've attained some grandiose milestone. It's as if their childhoods were so bereft of approval, so devoid of meaningful connection, that now, in the dim glow of their screens, they find their solace, their validation, in the cold embrace of internet accolades. Really, it's a poignant reflection of our times, where the hollow pursuit of digital thumbs-up fills the cavernous voids within their souls. How utterly, tragically beautiful.

As someone who's watched Frozen over 200 times over the course of 4 years with two younglings I can say with confidence she misunderstood the movie. Elsa abandoned her kingdom when she thought people thought she was a freak (even though literally nobody blamed her) . Frozen is about accepting responsibility for who you're supposed to be, don't run away from your problems like Elsa did, face them head on.

[@JasonFelt]

I just don't understand why the Jedi would just abandon these people in their time of need, and break their promise no less. Isn't helping to end disturbances, feuds, and assaults across the galaxy exactly what the Jedi did?

[@darthsygma1693]

Because in the twisted minds of people like headland jedi are the bad guys.

[@michaeljones2162]

Yeah if this is when the jedi are supposed to be at their peak then they would be helping people and keeping the peace. In the prequels it's a little different, like how the jedi did not help the slaves on Tatooine. But that would cause issues with Jabba and the other Hutts which you definitely don't want.

[@villadavid1997]

The plot leak is probably incorrect at many places

[@kyleglendinning9414]

Honestly I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, it could be an interesting look into the hypocrisy of having your entire galaxy spanning government be completely run by an order of warrior monks who can only be a part of that group if they're born force sensitive

[@villadavid1997]

There are 2 plot leaks actually, theory only talks about the more detailed one which is very likely fake 😂 it is not in line at all with the trailer or what we know about the series, besides the sister part. The sisters are actually going to be twins, both played by Amandla Stenberg, and by some other actress when they are younger. They are both part of a dark side cult (not Sith) when they are young. The Jedi attack this cult, and they kindnap one of the twins

If you have a force sensitive kid, why would you not check the M-count of her sister?

But yet fans want to see the clone wars and old republic in live action.

​@Decoto87 A live action rendition of something that is pre-established is one thing.

(Can't confirm the EU story this is from is "perfectly good", as a younger fan who wasn't alive to read it.)

Disney Lucasfilm really knows how to put the succ in success.

i agree, i don't actually hate the storyline if this is it. but it'll be unsufferable becasue of all the woke shit

[@TheStacanova]

Theory is eternally optimistic. I will remain pessimistic, until Lucasfilm proves they can make shows/Films of quality consistently…or at all.

[@Tiajuan]

Honestly, the plot leak doesn't sound bad if it's done a certain way. Siblings fighting each other is a good story. The original sequels led to Jaina Solo fighting against her dark side brother and that was my favorite story of all time. I use to write fan fiction years ago. I also wrote an Avatar fiction once where the next Avatar was divided amongst twins. Both had half the bending abilities Earth/Water and Wind/Fire. In the end they went different paths, and one of them became corrupted and went to war against his brother. I never completed the story though but this premise reminds me a bit of that.

[@LordKalte]

I'm more concerned how it's gonna fit into the lore because Disney as a tendency to fuck things up just because

[@villadavid1997]

The canon is pretty consistent, what are you talking about?

[@semosigtau1]

I wish I had your optimism. I see maybe 1 or 2 episodes with cool scenes, and 6 episodes of crap. It will also fuck up the canon so its just more of the same.

[@StormTroopaKoopa]

Someone needs to step up for the team and lay some pipe down on Leslye Headland so she'll calm down some. Somewhat jokes aside, I like how during the trailer the narration goes, "someone is killing Jedi", meanwhile every scene they show with the alleged assassin portrays her getting 'son'd' by the Jedi. If being incompetent is supposed to be threatening, then yeah, they nailed it.

[@jackkrick6936]

Once again I must ask, who the hell asked for this damn show? Why does Disney refuse to listen to the fans?

[@pgc9179]

Agenda

[@arvelcrynyd6311]

Refuse to listen? The fans clamored for an Obi-Wan movie or show and we got it, fans wanted Clone Wars Season 7 and we got it, fans are very vocal about their love for Ahsoka and so we got an Ahsoka show, fans really liked Rogue One so much that we got an Andor show. Wtf are you talking about? Stfu

[@daviddavis2545]

Because those at the top of Disney are whoring "anointed" mascots that don't really care about the passions or love for our favorite myths and ledgends. They don't listen to us because they're selfish hacks that only care about spreading the delusion/misery within themselves while profiting off of the process.

[@Hugabugahugabuga]

@@arvelcrynyd6311we got the shows but how they turned out was crap (especially obi wan). Andor was good and after mandolorian season 2 the show isn’t great anymore. Bad batch is the only good show from Disney

[@dougdoesitgood]

When the youngling says I see fire, it's her connecting with her sister and what she saw. Obvious

[@neora5]

I suspect that Mae (Amandla Stenberg) could be the sister that was left behind. It could just be the way the trailer was cut, but it looks like she is the one hunting Jedi. Furthermore, her fighting style seems unorthodox compared to a lot of what we've seen before.

[@vadeansonder]

They are twins - the actress is playing both sisters

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

I've heard a rumor that Amandla Stenberg is portraying identical twins...1 becomes a Jedi, the other is out-and-about, tapping in to The Force in a neutral way...making her ripe to be taken under the wing of a dark influence. The character who speaks of "power", is apparently a leader of a witch coven. It would be interesting, if The Acolyte in any way correlated with and/or informed the narrative of Star Wars: Eclipse...though, I get the impression that that video game may take place before the last days of The High Republic. Question: Why didn't Ms. Headland consult with Mr. Lucas, when she was writing this? He is Executive Creative Consultant, after all.

[@amyb.6368]

He's a straight white dude and she's a queer activist. That's why.

[@under_score3829]

The devillainization of classic fairy tale villains" Actually Frozen doesn't really de-villainize anyone. The Duke of Weasletown is pretty much a mustache twirling villain through and through. If she's referring to Elsa's exoneration -- Elsa was never a villain to begin with, at least not like the Evil Queen in Sleeping Beauty. Elsa was just a misunderstood girl who had some accidents and ran away. And as for Hans, that was a twist but that was a villainization, not a de-villainization.

[@SoloBruh1]

If this is true I honestly don't think they will show the village stuff until closer to the end. As the main character discovers the truth about. Most likely she won't know a thing about it because she was too young. Then as the show progresses she will learn about it. Probably after a failed confrontation with the villain (her sister).

[@mogwiawolf4354]

i still will never trust this show we all have a pretty good guess what its going to be like

[@GANGSTUHswagg]

[@Justin_Renshi97]

There is another variation to this plot leak story. It entails Amandla Stenberg playing the role of both sisters, twins. The former apprentice of Lee Jung-Jae’s Jedi master character and the dark side assassin character we saw in the teaser trailer.

@@te-legraam_me-Wars_Theory. I’m from Santa Barbara, California. I really appreciate the nuance with which you’re covering this. I was already concerned because of the red lightsaber.

@T.el.egr.am_Star_Wars_Theory I think the acolyte has great potential, and I’m looking forward to it. If ain’t that great, oh well, there are other corners of Star Wars I can keep going back to.

[@dangussin7524]

Is it at all possible that the Darkside users in The Acolyte are not Sith? People can fall into a dark place but not embrace a specific ideology . We hear references to fire and darkness in the trailer but not the term Sith. So, if basic story of turning to hate after the destruction of her village is accurate as far as it goes, simply wanting to destroy the Jedi does not inevitably lead to becoming a Sith.

[@jake_break]

if this leak is true: Everyone who said “the trailer looked pretty good, give it a chance!” Absolutely not. At this point it’s pattern recognition. Director is an activist and can’t help injecting her bullshit into it.

[@Hollyclown]

Every time I hear that interview, I hear a sister love-story fanfiction. Gotta be honest though, plot sounds weak to me. The story has to do a real good job to explain how Jedi peackeepers failed to uphold their promise.
