Directors
Leslye Headland, gay female
Kogonada, minority
Hanelle Culpepper, minority
Alex Garcia Lopez, minority

Amandla Stenberg, gay and minority
Lee Jung-jae, minority
Manny Jacinot, minority
Dafne Keen, female
Charlie Barnett, gay and minority
Jodie Turner-Smith, minority
Rebecca Henderson, gay and married to Headland
Carrie-Anne Moss, female
Dean-Charles Chaptman, straight white male (and about the weakest looking dude I've seen in a while)

Nothing about being gay, minority, or female precludes a person from being good and qualified, but when the roster looks like this, you can't argue that politics are not involved.

It's pretty glaring. The straight white male is clearly just a token.

Is it common for there to be an embargo on reviews this close to release or is it just shitacular?

I'm not too sure with streaming shows, but this would be a disaster for a theatrical film

Seems pretty weird to me. There were some reviews after the preview the other week so I don't understand why there's nothing on Rotten Tomatoes yet. Looks like maybe the only "reviews" released so far are just statements on X?

How does Disney keep making these short episode series’ and struggle with pacing?


I really think almost every Star Wars series started life as a movie that got transformed into a Disney+ series. That explains the short episode length and lagging plot.

it’s called. Star Wars is officially dead. Women cannot make Star Wars. That is not to say that they shouldn’t, but they are simply incapable of making proper Star Wars content.

RIP Star Wars.

Worst part about all of this? We should be PUMPED about a new Star Wars show premiering tonight. Instead, Disney doubled down and is killing the franchise

I'm not even watching. I skipped the last season or two of Mandalorian altogether too.

Its really sad being completely unmoved by a franchise I used to care about so much.
