Racist 'Star Wars' Fans Help Set 'The Acolyte' Up To Fail

These "racist fans" sound pretty powerful. Pretty based tbh.

They set out to make a show that was very obviously and purposefully lacking white men, they got called out on it, and are now crying about no one watching their slop.

Though "The Acolyte" was Disney+'s biggest series premiere of 2024, "Ahsoka," the previous release, led by Rosario Dawson, had much higher ratings for its debut.

Weird how the "racist fans" were ok with a series starring Rosario Dawson. In fact Star Wars fans were the ones that basically made her casting as Ahsoka a reality. They must have temporarily forgot their klan hoods?

Unfortunately, "The Acolyte" may have had to contend with franchise fatigue before it premiered. But the bigger issue is that there was a very vocal contingent of fans unhappy with the show from the start. These detractors not only complained about the show's casting, but also review-bombed the series as soon as it premiered.

Unfortunately, here's the real reason it bombed. But I want to claim that this other "issue" is the cause instead.

It's as if Lando Calrissian, his cape and that bouncy hair never existed to these goofy people.

They never stop to wonder why people that loved Lando and Leia for decades are suddenly "racist chuds".

"Of course, I'm very sad about the show being canceled," she said. "I just want to let those people know out there who ... supported us vocally, despite and in the face of all of the vitriol that we received and the kind of the targeted attack, I would say, we received by the alt-right — just that you were deeply loved and appreciated. And it made this job all worthwhile for me."

Praise we receive is genuine, criticism we receive is targeted.

I was going to keep breaking down this shit but I realized I was only about half way through this strag's seethe.
