We are back with our first thoughts on the debut episodes of The Acolyte. Is it as bad as the insecure men online said it was before even watching? The answer may surprise you! Or not. But seriously internet, what's with the automatic hate for anything with girls in the lead? It's a really weird choice. Women in Star Wars are strong, Ahsoka is one of the best characters and strongest Jedi in the entire series. We can't watch a show with women and diversity because we think it's someone berating what we loved? Why not just enjoy something for its storytelling and acting and talent. Whether the people in it identify as men, women, koala bears or whatever, none of that even matters. The story is what matters. If I watch a great film about someone taking over a business and then later someone says "You know the woman in that used to be a dude," why do some people think that's a reason to then hate it? If it was good, it was good. If it was bad, it was bad. Now that I've spent all this character space ranting, let's hear me rant some more on this week's episode of Star Wars Lunch Special!
