STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE Will Feature Rebecca Henderson As High Republic Jedi Vernestra Rwoh

@ProfessorWhy - Because she's bald?

@Drace24 - looks more Smurf than ninja turtle to me, so blue works.

@McMurdo - I agree that Lucasfilm should have new leadership but it's interesting like some people only associate the negative stuff to her while she gets no credit for the successful projects, she is the president of the studio, she is the one that greenlit things like Rogue One, Mandalorian, Andor, the animated series, both the good and the bad needs her approval.

@McMurdo - I’m a fan of all things Star Wars. Yeah the last trilogy wasn’t great but it had its moments. Star Wars isn’t dead it’s just trying to find its place without the skywalker family at the center of it all. I like the last Jedi but I also think most Star Wars is enjoyable. There’s something there for everyone. Andor may not be suitable for my 2 year old but I’m excited to show her the new Disney junior show as an intro into this galaxy.
You may not be excited for the acolyte but somebody else out there may and that’s fine. Not every thing done in this universe is made just for you and only you. You can have your opinion but it doesn’t mean that somebody else’s opinion is wrong because they don’t bend to what you like.

@Urubrodi - that's because the TV side is Favreau and Filonis baby. She's not nearly as hands on with the Filoni/Fav-verse as she was with the ST and as she is with the Acolyte.

The Mando-verse basically is SW right now. And so Fav And Filoni get all the credit, as they should. The best thing she did was give Filoni more power.


She's the president and it's on her that there is a mass exodus of creative talent walking away from SW projects year after year.

She receives blame because the ST was her baby. She hired JJ. She let Rian make his botched abortion. Etc etc etc. No one argues she doesn't sign off on the Filoni Fav content. She supposedly got those two in a room together initially so she did one thing right at least. But TFA to TRoS....that's a billion dollar difference. That means something. And that's on her. Period.

@McMurdo - Yeah, I'm sure you love the instant affirmation to all your grievances from the fandom. That seems to be all it's doing. Complaining. Constantly and about everything. Nothing ever seems to petty or childish for the purists to make a huge fuss about. All they talk about is how this shit, that is shit, good stuff bad, old stuff good and waging bottomfeeding smear campaigns against seemingly everyone who ever made a Star Wars movie.

And let's cut the "Muh, it's Disney's fault!" bullshit. I've been a Star Wars fan for over 20 years now, way before the acquisition, and I don't even know this fandom any other way. I've been bullied of fansites when I was like 11 just for liking Phantom Menace. Really seems like the fandom is full of people who get off by ruining Star Wars for as many people as possible. Not to mention the many people whose lives they literally ruined. Ahmed Best, Jake Lloyd, Kelly-Marie Tran, John Boyega, Moses Ingram...

I have no idea how a franchise that is all about rejecting hate and embracing love could attract so many sad losers, but they are the only ones who truly ruin Star Wars. Literally. There was one time when a filmmaker tried to appease the angry Sith Lords of the internet and realize all their demands. And the result was Rise of Skywalker.
Good job, guys! Thumbs up!

But I am so sorry that some people who actually like the things they are a fan of point this out to you. Of course, from your perspective, the people who did NOT send Ryan Johnson death threats are the problem.

@McMurdo - An insulting meme. How unexpected. Is that it?

@McMurdo - And yet so very on brand for this fandom. Thanks for making my point, I guess. And since I apparently can't expect a stronger response: goodbye.

@Drace24 - figured I'd throw you a bone considering you've been making my point for the last couple days.

@Drace24 - have you actually read any of the stuff with her in it?

@Drace24 - you do know she is in the books and comics targeted at adults too, right. And the lead of one of the YA books….

She is certainly not just in the junior readers.

And even then that’s no excuse for badly written characters.

@MrDandy - None of this has anything to with anything. Do you have an actual response to my argument or is that it?

@Drace24 - if the character were male, they would have no problem with them

@Vigor - An adult male maybe.

@DiegoMD - And Luke didn't have a beard when he was younger. Did that need to have an explanation, too? Maybe she just likes it better this way.
