ETA:

Trailer

new interview with the director

quote:

Lucasfilm has officially announced that The Acolyte is coming out on June 4 on Disney Plus. They have also released the first teaser poster and confirmed that the official trailer is coming out tomorrow.

The release date is definitely interesting, being a Tuesday. Previous reports had said Wednesday, June 5, but does this mean a late-evening release on the 4th, as they did with Ahsoka and their 6pm PT/9pm ET experiment, or is this a Tuesday at midnight case? We will probably find out closer to release. There’s also been word out there that a featurette or a new look at the show will be tied to The Phantom Menace‘s re-release in theaters on May 3, just one month before the show comes out. We’re getting ahead of ourselves here, but that could also be in anticipation of a second trailer being released online a few days later.


quote:

The story is set 100 years before The Phantom Menace, at the tail end of the High Republic. StarWars.com has also revealed a new synopsis for the show, which contains our first character details:

In The Acolyte, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems….

These are the two main characters. Should be interesting.

A trailer for a television series? Isn't that called a commercial? And this will suck donkey balls.

I cannot wait for Disney to have to start selling off properties to survive. I cannot believe I would ever say this but I think Star Wars needs to be back in the hands of George Lucas.

This is going to be another bomb in a long line of bombs with more bombs to come.

I don't care about all of the feminist/political/social shite, but I'm just burned out on Star Wars. We enjoyed Mandalorian, after that it's all just generic Star Wars Lite.

Stenberg identifies as they/them

quote:

Politics Stenberg is an intersectional feminist.[26][74] She is outspoken about her political views in interviews and on social media and was named "Feminist of the Year" in 2015 by the Ms. Foundation for Women.[75][76] She has spoken publicly on social media about cultural appropriation.[59] Her video "Don't Cash Crop My Cornrows" admonished Kylie Jenner for adopting that traditionally African-American hairstyle.[24] In April 2016, Stenberg gave a speech at WE Day California, a WE Charity event.[77]


Can’t wait for her and the director to attack the fans (if there are any?) for the show being terrible.

Also going to assume the dangerous warrior from the past is the real and misunderstood hero of this epic series

the only thing i’ve ever seen of Headland’s is Russian Doll, which is fantastic.

You would think people on here would be embarrassed to admit they’re going to watch this and enjoy it given Headland’s Uber woke, lame and gay comments

But nope, they insist on being progressive soy fruits and think that’s getting back to real Star Wars. Sad

It looks like they are following the "South Park" interpretation of Kathleen Kennedy's Casting methodology:

"Put a chick in it and make her gay"..

South Park Kathleen Kennedy

Still no plans to watch it

Just saw in an article that the largest single stockholder of Disney stock is none other than George Lucas.

Good for him.

I have extremely low expectations for this show. I hope there will at least be a cool lightsaber duel, though.

I'm going to enjoy it, the main story line of High Republic was well written that made an Menacing Antagonist that wasn't a Force User or overly intelligent. Who slaughtered more Jedi than Thrawn. Avoid the side stories if you want to stay out of the gay but it does give more depth. When I was born there was only 3 movies, very grateful for the clone wars, and hope future generations can enjoy the additional content as Star Wars will outlive me.

Respectfully.
