NOTW Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Fans don't have a problem with women or people of color in SW. Fans have not complained about Leia, Lando, Padme, the diverse casts in Rogue One, Andor and The Mandalorian. Fans don't like the bad writing, directing and the way they've talked about the productions. For example, an Acolyte actress saying SW has always been about the patriarchy. A few trolls online make offensive comments and they magnify that into the story and label all white male fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iladelphxx Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Imagine if a man took over a female-lead franchise like like The Hunger Games or Twilight and recast every character with straight men and then released a series of poorly written movies that made the entire original story and characters irrelevant. And then, the straight male audience they were trying to appease winds up not coming out to watch the new movies because they were never a fan of the original movies in the first place, so the studio turns around and blames the core female audience for not embracing the new male characters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get steadily more withering as time passes Hide contents Those reviews aren't good. It's weird because the comments from the director sound good in theory. Huge SW fan, wants to reference old Samurai movies as influence, brought in some obscure characters from old high republic novels, wanted a writer in the room who had never seen SW so that from a narrative standpoint the story would make sense and not be blinded by love for SW. Curious to see how it actually all comes together. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/star-wars-the-acolyte-trailer-timeline-1235855636/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he was as bad at whatever the event they announced the Acolyte at. If he's not the sharpest tool in the case, don't make him do press or get the media outlet to delete the comment from the video before releasing it to the world.

UK Eagle Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Some of the Acolyte. the plot is leaking and Spoiler it could be a rocky one if you are on OG fan. But would explain the recent tone of certain people involved in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 Leia was a strong leader, feminist icon who subverted the damsel in distress trope by grabbing a blaster and taking charge. SW fans do not have a problem with strong women. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW fans do not have a problem with strong women. No. Far from it. It's sad that modern day creatives do not or will not understand this. For different reasons, men thought Leia was cool as did women - makes her almost the perfect central character for a trilogy. I can't believe that modern writers cannot get near writing a similar type character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
