This Realization Hit Me Like A Truck

this realization hit me like a truck

*nose twitch*

im not even gonna defend myself with this one

i could fix him ( he'd literally kill me )

im legitimately so sick of starwars fans ruining everything, the acolyte was a great story with amazing lightsaber fights and good acting and it had so much potential, was it 10/10?? no! but

1: it doesn't have to be perfect to be good!!

2: not everything has to connect back to the characters that we literally know everything about! I want something new!

it just feels like this is a sifi franchise that's scared of actually experimenting with its own universe because the fans can't understand or appreciate anything more complicated than the equivalent of chicken nuggets and French fries

this show was something I genuinely liked and if you need me to tell you that it's fine that you didn't like it

grow up, please

this just sucks

I try to console myself by thinking: Well, those of us who write fanfics will finally hold up a part of the fandom. But why did it have to be this way? 💔 #SaveTheAcolyte

I've never seen a fandom destroy and sabotage its own media so hatefully before, it just makes you sad at this point, I'm really gonna miss these characters and this story and what could've been

No one is going to silence me

No, Star Wars The Acolyte wasn’t perfect, and it’s not the best of Star Wars. In fact, nothing in this franchise has been perfect, not even The Mandalorian (I’ve just thrown three scorpions at myself, but oh well).

The Acolyte was like breathing fresh air after YEARS of repetitive content focused on: The Empire, Skywalker family, Rebellion, and that’s it.

The Acolyte was a series that reignited a spark and charm in people who had distanced themselves a bit—or a lot—from SW due to the toxicity or simply because they no longer connected with the new content.

The Acolyte made MANY women interested in Star Wars thanks to the fact that it was made and written by a woman who KNOWS what we really like, and that’s why it delivered a tremendous Female Gaze.

The Acolyte DOES deserve or deserved a second season. But as always, they’ve shown what their priorities are: to continually cater to the toxic crowd and the 40+ men who want to keep living in nostalgia and are stuck in The Empire Strikes Back."

so I have no clue where it actually came from but I got completely obsessed with Darth maul out of nowhere.

again.

but I just wanted to say for now, does anyone else regularly think about how this guy is kinda short? I'm so obsessed with it, like so much it's actually painful

look at that difference, he's canonically 5'7 here and I can't get enough of it, it's too much for me to handle
