You can tell he really thought he was on to something there. What happened to knowing something about the job you are applying for

Huge missed opportunity imo. Don’t care about the lesbian part but anyone casting their spouse when the could have casted someone who made sense and energised the base a little is incompetent.

There’s no defending that, but it didn’t sound like she was talking about The Acolyte. It sounded like she said that was the goal in ”The Hate You Give.”

It’s confirmation of what the show actually is.

I like it. Has kinda a retro futurism look that appeals to me.



I watch everything Star Wars. Wasn't excited about this show, but I watched.

It was ok. I'll keep watching, but definitely wasn't super impressed or anything.

Definitely expected to see a Yoda cameo a couple times and was disappointed.

Amandla Stenberg is trying to become more hated than Bree Larson and it looks like she might do it.

When the gayest SW yet isn’t gay enough disappointment is expected.

It is weird to be outraged by the first comment, especially before seeing the show


I’d agree—outrage is a little far. However, I think it’s a very fair observation to note that it is extremely stupid from a publicity standpoint to say this given the historical fanbase and issues the IP has experienced in recent years.

I think Amandla is trying to shoot this show in the head before episode 3 airs.

I feel like we are not better off with more access to the cast’s opinions.

What a shocking surprise there! The gay creator cast her wife as a lead character.

So yeah, Star Wars is now the gayest is ever been and gets gayer at every passing IP that gets created.

Downvote away, yall can have this gay shite. Star Wars has been a dead IP for years, this might finally kill it for good.

Just wait until they introduce the lightsaber strap-on in the finale.

What else has she said? I saw that clip where she said something dumb about a different movie during an interview from a few years ago. How long has it been since Trevor Noah hosted the Daily Show?

Great, now the story will be about how this show got slammed with fake reviews and not the fact that it's bad.

Honestly I got confused by the Daily Show clip.

I dont think the “gayest star wars show ever” interview did any favors. I think the show runner handled it better than her.
