    If you make a show that costs billions to make while having no interest what so ever in existing lore while wasting good actors such as Lee Jung-jae and Carrie-Anne Moss and having writing that wouldn’t compete with most student films and, in top of that, making a distrack attacking the people who are going to watch the show then obviously people are going to be upset.

    People will get angry when you need with what they’ve grown to love over the years. You can’t keep calling anyone you disagrees with you racist /or sexist.

      This is a quote from the article we’re commenting:

      There has been a rampage of vitriol that we have faced since the show was even announced, when it was still just a concept and no one had even seen it.

        Maybe the should’ve had a better concept? You can’t work in the entertainment industry and not be able to take criticism. That should’ve been the time were they went back to the drawing board and think about why people were so upset before wasting billions on the Acolyte. The fans are your clients.

          Do you think the vitriol was about the concept? How come?

            No, I was responding to the quote of them getting criticised when the show was still just a concept.

            She speaks of racism and bigotry that was aimed at her, are there any examples of what she has received? I hear this being said every time a modern Disney film/ series flops. Andor has both a non-white main character and a lesbian relationship but no one speaks of vitriol with that show. It just comes of as her not wanting to admit that the show was bad and instead blaming anyone who didn’t like it.

                I love how the ones who claim that Star Wars fans are toxic are also the most toxic people in the fan base. Imagine calling someone an idiot/ bigot/ incel for not liking a show that you like.

      Also I’m getting tired of how lazy these shows are with lighting and costumes. Everything looks like it’s on a stage. Even the prequels look better because their lighting isn’t so flat.
