Holy shit it must be awful if this is the best its defenders can bring themselves to muster.

It's not really good, but rightoids are wingcucking as usual. Most of the criticisms I've seen so far are exaggerated r-slurery, which I'd respect for dramamaxxing but it's all wingcuck clickbaiting.
"THEY'VE COMPLETELY CHANGED THE DEFINITION OF THE FORCE TO BEING A THREAD INSTEAD OF A FORCE BECAUSE SOME SECT ON A DISTANT PLANET MADE THE ANALOGY AND A BUNCH OF WITCHES WITH SAID VAGUELY DIFFERENT VIEW OF THE FORCE SAID "PEOPLE DON'T LIKE OUR KIND AND MEANT LESBIANS! AND THESE JEDI DID SOMETHING MORALLY QUESTIONABLE YOU HAVE RUINED MY CHILDHOOD AND CHOSEN THE BEAR! THE FIRE IN SPACE DOES NOT MEET MY FIRE IN SPACE SCI FI REQUIREMENTS!"
It's DEI slop with a bit of Mary Sue and a background
(implied dead in the same episode) and a background fat bumbling Jedi (stationed on some distant planet.) It was obviously made with a agenda, but Disney so far wouldn't let the showrunner actually do anything truly controversial. Anything they "do" canon wise (which they really won't and who cares because it's fricking dolls) can be written off as a certain point of view on an incident 200 hundred years ago. Thankfully people aren't watching it, but outside of that the agenda show runner is getting exactly what she wants. I just assume both sides are working together it's so r-slurred.

Yep. It's obviously pretty pozzed but space witches were already established canon, overlaying it with more "we're strong but oppressed womyn who don't need no men" messaging is annoying but not immersion-breaking. The sperging doesn't make sense, especially when there's a good chance that the shit people are upset about will be explained in a more-satisfying fashion in upcoming episodes. Like there's pretty obviously some big missing chunks in how the witches died, and I'm not chalking this up to bad writing up yet.

This whole "Jedi did something awful" is probably going to be some boring misunderstood escalation where no one is really at fault but sort of one hot headed Jedi and one hot headed witch. It'll be enough that some leftoid slop reviewer can compare the Jedi to cops shooting a black person, but nothing that'll upend the Jedi Christendom.
Half these spergs seething about the holy canon probably masturbated to the KOTOR games' shades of grey writing. Meanwhile the show runner is cackling in ultimate triumph "ha, ha, I DID want people to think 'queer' when the witches said 'like us"! The patriarchy has been crippled!"

KOTOR is infinitely better than this shit. I just cant stand the whole "Jedi are the actually bad guys" thing. Its fricking stupid. Yeah KOTOR had some shades of grey but the Sith were evil buttholes and the Jedi were well meaning but flawed heroes. Then there's the creating life thing which once again takes a shit on Anakin. I don't hate the Nightsisters they're a fine villain faction, if a little too OP with galaxy spanning voodoo dolls and necromancy. All of this could be tolerable if the writing weren't so fricking terrible.

I like how people literally treat this as some sort of blasphemy. The prophecy around him sucked and him being immaculately conceived was of no importance to anything about his character, other than the fact that it caused some people to treat him as somewhat special.
Plus, it will probably be explained / hinted at that the twins are either different than Anakin or they were all created by Plagueis. "Plagueis created Anakin" has been a popular theory for years, but now the notion that he might have created some black qweens in his experiments as well is somehow unacceptable?
