    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Because quite often DEI is more important than hiring the most qualified person for the role. We know this is a directive in Hollywood as a whole. For instance, you can't be eligible for awards if you don't have at least 50% representation in roles from PoC, LQBTQ, etc. The Acolyte could very...

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Ironic, considering they filmed Mulan in Xianjing(Uyghur concentration camps there), covered up the Black Panther poster so it could go up in China and removed Finn from the Star Wars posters for the exact same thing. Disney have no interest in supporting 'social' issues, they just do what the...

    I'm not saying his opinion is right or wrong on the matter, I'm saying it wasn't found in the dark corners of the internet.

    No, you're simply incapable of ingesting information and forming your own opinion.

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    You literally refuse to watch/read any information posted because you have already made up your mind on the matter. That's woeful. Don't bother quoting me again.

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Well it's simple: So you can form your own opinion instead of simply using someone else's. How do you know the 'discrediting' is correct?

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    They're not 'deranged', you chose not to watch them and decided they were 'deranged'. If you watch them and still decide they are 'deranged', then fair enough, that's your opinion. That video with the Execs is all over Twitter by the way, Elon Musk was the one who re-tweeted it.

    People kept quoting me :shrug:

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Fair comment. I ended up on a weird tangent because I was responding to why people supposedly are review bombing the series, I guess. We all ended up going down the rabbit hole.

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    There's a number of people in the video. Disney's reputation has only gotten worse for this kind of stuff recently, to the point Bob Iger himself said they need to focus on good scripting and filmmaking instead of spreading the 'message' in films(not Lucasfilm specific). Me personally, I'm not...

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Maybe they shouldn't try attacking the fans first? Bad reviews doesn't = bigotry. I'll tell you who I admire during this whole shitshow that's been Disney Lucasfilm: Daisy Ridley. When the upcoming(?) Rey movie was announced, all she talked about was how much she loved the franchise and looked...

    No that's what I mean, they state they'll be taking them with them. then they ask for permission, after saying they'll take them with them...

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Perhaps I should've said 'poor scripting' instead. Gaping plothole was probably the wrong thing, based off the examples I gave.
  14. bzparkes

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    No, I'm giving examples of why the ratings tanked, as someone asked, not why I personally don't particularly like it. The convo obviously deviated very far from there. I just don't think it's very good but if other people are enjoying it, power to them.

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Star Wars still hasn't made a return on investment since Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinereid/2024/04/14/disneys-star-wars-box-office-profits-fail-to-cover-cost-of-lucasfilm/ In fact, a lot of their 'revenue' is projected on future streams over the next...

    So you didn't watch his interview then? Right.

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    You literally have a video of Disney execs caught red-handed stating that their hiring processes prevent them from hiring white males for certain roles(ironic, considering the execs are white) and you still refuse to believe it. More of this will come, I imagine. Expect this to turn into a big...

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    There was a lot more than that, it's clear that's all the poster could be bothered selectively quoting. Feel free to watch it for yourself :)

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    This is the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and going "Blah blah blah blah".

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    That is a VP of Disney saying they are told not to hire White guys. And it's not just one in the video. Perhaps watch it first, then come back to me. And you're right, I do find it extremely odd that white guys are telling people below them not to hire white guys. They're financially...

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Surprised they hired any to begin with, considering what's come out in the last day or so. But anyway, this isn't about the Acolyte, so I'll leave this particular topic of discussion to a more relevant thread.

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    The director(Harvey Weinstein's former personal assistant by the way) has a real problem with white men and actively goes out of her way to not hire any, regardless of whether they're the most qualified for the job or not, you're probably going to get your predominantly white male fanbase off...

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Is every protagonist now going to be conceived through the 'Force'? Kinda lazy writing and takes away anything special from the main character, if so.

    Full interview - Or a shortened version - And a quick summary -

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    True, I did acknowledge that. For the casual fan though(which face it, most Star Wars 'fans' are filthy causals ;)), it's almost the same thing, hence a lot of people getting worked up by this.

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    It follows a similar theme. I can agree that it does have differences however. Somewhat but not remotely the same as Anakin's conception.

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Do you understand Anakin's prophecy and why he was so special?
  29. bzparkes

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    Well, this is true. That Xmas special... Still, Anakin's role as the chosen one is now completely redundant, because apparently randoms can just create kids using the Force, which is the key point here.

    Star Wars The Acolyte

    The small alien thingy. "He, or 'they'" Now myself, I can't say I was particularly fazed by it like some people frothing over it on the internet, it was fairly innocuous on its own and some commentators around the place latching onto it like they have has been a bit embarrassing IMO. However...
