Nothing to see here fellas, she was just joking and we’re all autistic.

Gamerant

quote:

Leslye Headland, showrunner for the mysterious upcoming series Star Wars: The Acolyte, says she fully intends to allow her own personal experiences as a queer woman shine through in the finished product. Considering how she specifically wanted at least one writer who was largely unfamiliar with Star Wars, it seems pretty clear that she's looking to tell the story from some very different perspectives than fans might be used to. But that doesn't necessarily mean she isn't using some recognizable inspirations.


quote:

"In the same way that the original Star Wars film, A New Hope, is about a young man living in Modesto, California, who doesn't want to take over his dad's hardware store," Headland said to The Advocate, referring to George Lucas' own personal inspiration behind the creation of Star Wars, "there's just no way that me being a queer woman is not going to be reflected in my work." She went on to explain how storytelling is often an extension of the storyteller, reflecting key aspects of that person's life and identity in the narrative itself. So as a result, she believes her queerness will come through in the show, even if it happens to be on a subconscious level.

I tbink it’s not going to be explicit

so you think if we had an openly gay jedi we wouldn’t have heard about it by now?

1. Headland is on record saying that she’s going to put her queer identity in the show 2. Pretty much the entire marketing has been about how much LGBT is in this 3. They’ve repeatedly touted that the lead actress is the first non-binary lead in SW 4. That interview was done by a gay man talking to two LGBT people about all the gayness in SW 5. The actress calls all fans gay 6. There’s like 10 producers on the show and most are LGBT But she’s just joking and there’s no ideological motivation?


And they released it at the start of Pride month.

Totally all a coincidence I’m sure

The narcissism thinking people give a frick about your sexual preference in a Star Wars property is mind numbing. It would be like if I made a Star Wars show and was more concerned with putting hot big boobed redheads in it than making a good story. Both would suck arse. fricking activist ruin everything.

This is the problem and it isn't about which side of the sexuality.

Star Wars is a more innocent IP. There isn't much about sex in it at all. Love story, yeah.

So they're just forcing a theme into that isn't already there and it's noticeable, especially with how much they talk about it

The press tour before the movie came out didn't include everyone's sexuality or gender.

I’m aware, but I don’t think everyone is aware of this. Everyone does know however that fire requires oxygen. I think this would be obvious to even a six year old.

no, but you have to read between the lines...what she was actually doing was pushing back on the idea that it is the gayest star wars ever - Sammy

I am loving watching Disney destroy itself. I don't even care about Star Wars anymore. Star Wars to me is ep 4-6 and at this point I will even accept the god awful prequels.

Marvel is definitely on the downswing and if Fiege doesn't learn from this Star Wars debacle then Marvel is going to worthless just like Star Wars.

Anyone who isn't aware of this shouldn't be complaining about space fires.
