minus-squareLime Buzz (fae/she)@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up7·4 months agoYeah, sadly. I actually liked The Acolyte and didn’t get the hate. One of the more relaxed channels generously said it was because there was no consistent lore or lore checkers/keepers at Disney for Star Wars. But I dunno, I think it was mostly racism and other bigotries.
minus-squareScary le Poo@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up7·4 months agoI wholeheartedly agree. The worst enemy of Star wars is Star wars fans. Remember Rose? All of that backlash was pure racism.
minus-squareLime Buzz (fae/she)@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-24 months agoNo I don’t remember Rose, sadly. What/who is Rose? Edit: Oh okay I looked up her up to refresh my memory, and yeahhhhh. It’s ironic since star wars culuturally appropriated so much in the first place.
minus-squareScary le Poo@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoShe was a sort of side/mainish character in The Last Jedi.
