THE ACOLYTE creator Leslye Headland trusts that the show will be well received one day. “There was a real negative reaction to [the Prequels], especially from a particular generation. And 25 years later, Hayden [Christensen] is at Celebration” (Source: empireonline.com/tv/news/star-w…)

@sw_holocron She has been completely delusional about the reception of the show from day 1. And I don't think the prequels are really all that "fondly remembered" as much as they're just considered better than anything Disney has done.

@sw_holocron That’s because looking back now, with the consideration of what has come after the prequels, we now realize it could have been much, much worse. As it is now.

@sw_holocron Let it go Leslie….The Acolyte was not well liked. Move on..

@sw_holocron No it won’t. As a Star Wars fan, it’s the only Star Wars I’ll never watch.

@sw_holocron She is a self proclaimed lesbian writer who never produced anything successful, who writes for lesbian audiences, was it surprising that this failed did’t connect with fans? Given her no experience, and questionable work history with Weinstein, just seems like a poor choice

@sw_holocron 🤣 The difference is the prequels were good. And made by George himself. Not Harvey Weinstein's former vacuum cleaner

@sw_holocron I enjoyed it a lot. The lightsaber duels were peak and the presence of the sith retuning and Darth plaguiss

@sw_holocron 🖤

@sw_holocron That’s because the prequels, despite their issues, had a great story and worldbuilding. The Acolyte’s story sucked and disrespected the lore by misrepresenting the Jedi. The Jedi were the most moral beings by the time of the prequel era according to Lucas.

@sw_holocron It’s already well received (by hot people)

@sw_holocron Until she stops pulling the racist and homophobia card the show will remain poorly received by fans. Even then it will still be poorly received because the show is not good.

@sw_holocron The Acolyte deserves a season 2

Our delivery comes with a genius. Go learns what you like, builds your cart in seconds, and gets it all to your door in as fast as 15 minutes.

@sw_holocron I’m sure it will be well received by the tens of acolyte fans out there.

@sw_holocron Change the damn record lmao

@sw_holocron It is not about generations. It was the wrong target audience. Lesbian witches are not what mainly hetero Guys want to see. Period. You dropped the ball , Lesley. Now OWN it !!!

@sw_holocron I hope that, they will just say it is not canon like Visions

@sw_holocron Hahaha no! I was an original trilogy fan, and I remember it well. EP 1 and 2 were considered a disappointment to many, but they were never hated. There is a big big difference in that.

@sw_holocron The acolyte was my least favorite Star Wars project ever

@sw_holocron Stop being a retard

@sw_holocron The difference is, Hayden wasn’t a pandering clown for wokeism.

@sw_holocron Good show, low budget, mid acting and directing, still worthy of a followup

@sw_holocron Comparing the PT to The Acolyte is like comparing a ribeye steak to a Slim Jim.

@sw_holocron The prequels didn't even get close to the amount of hate The Acolyte did. In fact I dont know a single real human that liked The Acolyte. The Acolyte has zero redeeming qualities. Please shut up Leslye.

@sw_holocron power of 1,2,3 years wont suddenly make the bad writing good. Cant compare that to prequels

@sw_holocron 25 years later we'll still be mocking this shit show

@sw_holocron No, no it will not. It will fade into complete obscurity. It has the wretched stink of mouse droppings all over it.

@sw_holocron I’m from the future…. …spoiler alert…. …it’s never well-received.

@sw_holocron Yes, specifically after we saw the sequels we came to the conclusion “it can always be worse” 😂… please, don’t compare this acolyte nonsense with the prequels….prequels = premier league; ACOLYTE = Paralympic league….

@sw_holocron You somehow manage to *top* Rian Johnson clowning Luke Skywalker, and the whole Jedi Order which while impressive is not something to brag about... You are a content creator not a filmmaker. And it shows.

@sw_holocron It’s a convenient claim to make when you give yourself 2 decades to hang your hat on it.

@sw_holocron The only Star Wars show I never could finish , and I've tried 3 times...
