It's early, so all the precincts haven't reported yet, but the early returns of the gayest Star Wars ever ain't great.
And by that, I mean Star Wars: The Acolyte is tracking to be – by FAR – the most hated of the entire franchise. That's right. Worse than Last Jedi. Worse than Solo. Worse than Attack of the Clones.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, through two episodes, the newest Disney+ series – which made waves earlier this week when it was deemed the gayest Star Wars yet during an interview with creator Leslye Headland – has an abysmal 31% approval rating from the audience.
Shockingly – not really at all – it's sitting at a staggering 91% from the critics, which is so on brand it hurts.
The very obvious message? Fans don't want woke crap shoved down their throats. Progressive critics, however, LOVE it.
I mean, duh. Come on. Anyone with half a brain saw this coming from a mile away.
Disney execs are just so dumb. Honestly, it's stunning how stupid they are. George Lucas handed them the keys to arguably the most successful movie franchise ever a decade ago, and all they've done since is piss it all away.
Will that 31% rating go up as more episodes are released? Maybe. I have no clue. I heard rumors the third episode will have something about pronouns in it, though, so that'll probably help!
PS: no, that's not a joke. It actually does. Seriously.
Anyway, as for the actual score … it's easily the worst, so far, of the entire franchise. The next lowest? The Last Jedi, which sits at a measly 41%. I hated that movie so much, so I think even that's way too high. What a disgrace.
After that, you have Attack of the Clones at 56%, and Phantom Menace at 59%. That last one is stupid, if you ask me. Phantom Menace was good, especially the final 30 minutes. Honestly, it's better than New Hope.
There. I said it.
By the way, Rise of Skywalker is currently sitting at an inexplicable 86% audience approval. I mean, what are we doing? That movie needs to be sent to the sun.
Here's a list of the full rankings, for those who want to see the rundown.
As for Acolyte, the dummies over at Disney deserve all of this. Every single bit of it. They're woke and they absolutely refuse to listen to the fans.
Nobody and I mean nobody was asking for the "gayest Star Wars yet." Not even gay people! But you gave it to us, and we hate it.
Oh well.
Stolen and shared. Credit given.
It really is as if they made a deliberate attempt to just crap all over the franchise.
Who asked for this? Blacks? Gays? Lesbians? Nobody did! At they end of the day, they just want to be entertained like the rest of us.
Star Wars came out in 1977, 46 years ago. I’m sick to death of it.
LOL! Marking.
It’s taken us 47 years to realize that Emperor Palpatine was actually the good guy - if he had won all of this wicked wokeness could have been prevented. :)

“I thought the first Star Wars movie was really good. I saw it on opening night in the theater way back in ‘77. However, after the 2nd one I was all through with everything Star Wars. It was two and done for me.”
****
I also saw it the first night it was in town. I think it was a Friday. I did not care for it and never saw another one. I was a college student and was looking for something more substantial. It seemed juvenile and simplistic. It didn’t help that the film broke at the very beginning when the “In a galaxy far away” text was beginning to scroll by. After a 10 minute wait there were mechanical camels on the screen. Huh? Maybe I missed 30 seconds, maybe I missed some of the background that would have made sense.
Then the Obi Wan character is dead. But he’s talking to the kid. So is he not really dead? Like ET?
I got a kind of Wizard of Oz vibe from the characters. The lion was Chewbacca, the girl was Dorothy, and the tall gay robot was the tin man.
Then it sort of turned into an outer space western shoot out.
I never did figure out why it was a “thing.”
I like Reagan’s Star Wars the best!
They use "Force Scissoring."

Not me. I wasn’t going to see it from the time I heard about it.

Is it worse than the unwatchable Star Wars Christmas Special?
I am so tired of seeing little 90 pound wonders perform like 200 lb, 6’4’ hulk ninjas, rampant lesbianism/homosexuality, trans et al coupled with outright ridicule and disdain for anything “white.” It’s all just a made up culture unrealistically enhanced by social media and the ‘entertainment’ industry.

If you bought a ticket, they don't care if you loved it or hated it.
