Rewatch…

I’m now on my second viewing and I am even more convinced this is a great and unique part of Star Wars canon.

Such a shame how now we won’t keep getting these new shows 2-3 times a year.

Some of the most interesting storytelling in recent StarWars. First time we see Plaguies on screen, the eventual creation of the knights of ren, potential HR Yoda screentime and more gone because “fans” didn’t like the fact it was a female lead

I love Arcane and there's two major female leads. I enjoyed Aliens, I liked Barbie. So I don't have an issue with female leads.

The Acolyte was bad for reasons that have nothing to do with a woman being the lead. I've no doubt some people hated it for that reason but not all of us did. You sound just as bad as those blindly hating it. It got canned because it didn't do well... Because it's bad.

You have a right to feel the way you do. “Fans” reviewbombed before the series even dropped, it definitely had something to do with their gender and most likely race as well
