Acolyte Ep 5 has been called "the best of shit" and similar things, mainly because there's a big light saber battle between a Sith (who according to canon are supposed to be extinct) and several Jedi. FYI, the Sith is wearing a light saber proof helmet. Let that sink in, and it's even worse when you consider this show is set hundreds of years before the original trilogy.

Anyway, this sword dude shreds the fuck out of this fight scene.

He's very outspoken about ending woke shit in Hollywood, he's slammed this show and really all Disney SW, and so on. Anyway, he defended this song by listing out the actual lyrics and pointing out that it never mentions SW or the fans. He also showed that it was released on Juneteenth, and the lyrics are about her skin color and this country's history.

Point being, the timing is coincidental with The Acolyte, particularly Ep3, but it was really a Juneteenth song.

So, not a SW fan diss track.
The black guy on youtube was wrong. She was on The View this week and said "I made a diss track" when asked about the "severe racism and death threats" (yeah right) about her role.

There's no YT video yet that I could find, but I saw the clip of it on the other stuff.

The Acolyte was cancelled.

$180M down the drain, but at least they further pushed away the remaining SW fans...

Meanwhile, rumors say Kathleen Kennedy wants to retire, but wants to go out on "a high". There's only one way to do that Kathy. You have to remove this new garbage from canon, remove the woke nonsense, and give the fans what they want. Go ask Kevin Feige.

I guess disney+'s claim of "record number of streams for the Acolyte!" was bullshit.

Yes and no.

First, it could be complete horseshit as their (and other streamers') numbers are hidden. It's not like the days of Nielsen. But it could be their best numbers ever.

Second, it apparently did do good numbers initially. Take that with a grain of salt though because all of Disney+'s numbers are way down. It's like being named the prettiest girl at the trans ball. Also, a lot of those early numbers were people checking it out due to morbid curiosity. "Episode 3, literally, destroys Star Wars canon." It's worth noting that after Ep3, the ratings tanked.

Third, Disney didn't talk about how the finale was the lowest rated SW finale evah.

I see the lead from The Acolyte has made a video explaining her thoughts on the Acolyte being cancelled.

Anyone want to take a guess on what she blames? You're probably going to guess correctly...

She should make another diss track and twerk harder, and more angrily.

Cool, a new Star Wars book about the clone troopers.

Let's see what's in here...

Disney has apparently told their shills to start pushing the "toxic SW fans are bigots" messaging again for the release of "Skeleton Crew". Got to pre-emptively explain why the show bombed and gets critically shredded.

This time they're claiming SW fans hated Finn (John Boyega).

Who thought the Trek fandom would weigh in defending SW fans?

That was my memory. Like why was there a black stormtrooper since they are all clones, or something?

Exactly. Not because he's black, but because he's a fucking CLONE of someone that wasn't black.

No!

The "First Order" was kidnapping kids around the galaxy, and putting them in the stormtrooper program.

I've heard Skeleton Crew is decent, but Disney's woke bullshit and shitting all over the existing fans has truly killed SW.

The Acolyte was the 2nd most watched show on Disney+ last year.

Morons: "See!!! It was a success!!!! A huge hit!!!! Why was it cancelled?!"

The Drinker answers with data to support the point. (Hint: The Acolyte was the runner up for Homecoming Queen in a high school with 10 students.) This article and these numbers actually prove it was a massive disaster.



Snarky Jay bitch slaps them too. (Best comment in her replies: "Showing the minutes viewed is like telling someone how big your home is in square inches.")

Whatever the Acolyte creators are doing right now, they should be fired from it. They're just going to ruin it.

Reminder that Leslye Headland was the creative behind The Acolyte. Her credentials? She was Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant.

That's it.

So, if you also want to create your own show, just go help someone rape a bunch of Hollywood starlets. (At best, she was turning a blind eye to it.)
