[SW] Sitting down to watch The Acolyte for no other reason than the SW fandom's being the SW fandom about it. Potential / Likely spoilers as I go along.
Going in with absolutely no expectations since I'm still disappointed they passed on the chance to do something focused on the craziness of the old Sith Empire
all I know is Ki Adi Mundi is in it because a screen of him showed up as the thumbnail image for a youtube video about it (which I didn't watch, but I mean, kinda spoiled that one for me)
Right away it becomes immediately obvious what caused all the "woke" and "DEI" complaints about it, because somebody dared to make both the lead and the villain female POC
(also I'm well aware I'm not a huge fan of Jedi stories to begin with, so it's not particularly surprising or somehow a complaint, I'm just aware what is and isn't for me)
also I will grudgingly give one (1) point to the more conservative Jedi hardliner faction here, they at least recognize reality and adjust their stance accordingly
they may cause more problems than they solve for the Jedi, but at least this Mirialan master lady I've already forgotten the name of is grounded in reality
Already showing more common sense than her SWTOR counterparts who cling to hairbrained ideas like "we can totes bring the Sith Emperor to the light side"
wanna get a decent night's sleep before going through the hell that is "we showed you a powerpoint slide, how much more training could you want???" that is work
"Jedi will find a way."
Respectfully, Osha, no you are not
Respecfully, no
