share91% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
shareCritics are payed shills. They don't matter. Only the audience score matters.
shareAudience reviews are irrelevant when they are racist and misogynistic.
shareWrong. They are valuable regardless of the intention behind giving a negative review. Since all the score measures is whether people like it. If only 26% of the people like it then 74% of the people don't like it. You can't argue with this fact. It doesn't matter if they don't like it because they hate Star Wars or they hate black people or they don't like Carry Ann Moss for some reason. It just doesn't matter. The fact still stands, 74% don't like it. And so if your goal is to make something that appeals to a broad audience then you failed.
shareYou're wrong! Down-voting for a reason which has nothing to do with the quality of the film or series isn't relevant and should be discounted.
I remember when a TV critic gave a negative review to radio star Howard Stern's TV show in which she eventually admitted she never watched. She should have been fired for her biased, unfair, dishonest and unprofessional review.
Fans reading reviews and ratings aren't interested in knowing if you hate blacks or women. They want to know the QUALITY of the series or movie.
That's secondary. If you want to know why people hate it then you read reviews. If you want to know that they hate it, you just look at the score. The score only tells you how they feel about it, not why they feel the way they do.
shareThe rating doesn't measure their feelings about the series. Only their biases against blacks and women.
shareThat is their feeling about the series. The series has colored women that feel out of place. They don't belong in these roles. The Star Wars audience is primarily older White males and this series alienates them.
They don't think this series feels like Star Wars. To them it simply looks like an artificially created show for the purposes of DEI. And they don't like it. This is a perfectly valid opinion.
This show wasn't made for the fans, it was made for a "modern audience". And so fans are not watching it.
What's worse, the targeted audience of non-binary women of color doesn't seem all that interested in it either.
This is why it's a failure.
There are old white men who are not bigots and incels enjoying the shows. You need to get out more.
Unfortunately, the loser bigoted incels are the ones actively down-voting since they have no life.
Apparently not. Otherwise it would have a bigger audience.

sharenope........ Disney was lying
Disney BUSTED Lying About Viewership
https://youtu.be/Bj9rTdamv-Q
Youtuber has no credibility.
shareoh but he does....... everything is backed up with facts.
so suck it
😋
😛
😝
Not only does he NOT work at Disney, therefore doesn't have access to true information, he doesn't have a real job.
sharePeople are probably tuning in to see what a train wreck it is.
Also, I know plenty of people who hate watch it so they could make fun of it online.
Me, I don't even bother.
I like the concept of the Jedi as guardians of the galaxy during the Old Republic and have read some books before Disney's purchase. I also like the idea of movies or series taking place during the Jedi/ Sith Wars with thousands on both sides fighting and conquering whole planets. The video game Knights of the Old Republic took place during that era.
Lucas complained about fans who wanted to repeatedly see the same thing. New stories and charades are more interesting.
All that sounds great and interesting. It's the execution, the cast, and the agenda that fucks it all up.
Nobody wants to watch something made by and for lesbians and non-binary women of color.
We don't want diversity. We don't want inclusion. We don't want representation. And we sure as shit don't want equity.
Who is we?
shareEveryone who is not woke.
shareRacists and misogynists.
shareNo, most anti-Wokes are not racists and misogynist like me. They're just tired of having an agenda pushed on them.
shareYour quote:
"Nobody wants to watch something made by and for lesbians and non-binary women of color.

aka: Racism and misogyny
Yeah, that doesn't make someone racist. That's just someone that prefers the way movies/shows were 20 years ago. Now me on the other hand, I am a racist and a misogynist and a homophobe and an ableist, so I literally just want to see White people who are straight men and who are not weak pussies. Seeing any black person on screen triggers my black fatigue and I start to feel a mixture of rage and nausea. I asked my doctor if there are any meds for that, but all he said was keep away from blacks. Well he didn't say "blacks". He said something else, with a hard "R". He's very progressive my doctor.
shareWhy do you care so much? This doesn’t affect you. Just enjoy the show and don’t worry about “the racists and misogynists”. It’s pretty sad that someone else’s opinion apparently ruins the show for you, soy boy.
shareBut it does effect us, when they, the woke assholes, take our stories and change them into woke garbage.
What you consider woke is suspect and not credible. Funny considering you don't even know the definition of the word.
shareWoke means anything that promotes the values of the Cultural Left. Specifically anything that has to do with Critical Social Justice. In practice this means forcing diversity, equity, inclusion, and representation into every facet of life. Which means shoehorning minorities, queers, dykes, and trannies into everything. The goal is to subvert heteronormativity. To de-center Whiteness. And to de-center and pussify males. To undermine all cultural and social norms.
Wokes are subhuman vermin. They will vandalize every aspect of our culture and society if they are not stopped.
That's simply the buzzword you incels have made it into. This is the dictionary definition.
Aware, especially of social problems such as racism and inequality.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/woke
With your stupid definition that applies to basically anything that doesn't feature a white straight male in the lead role, or a movie with minorities.
You do realize that words evolve over time yes?
What you provided used to be the definition, but the word has evolved in the last 10 years. Now the word is a pejorative that refers to critical social justice warriors. That is what it means, because that is how people use it today. And how a word is used determines its definition not a dictionary. The dictionary comes last. When enough people use it for long enough then it is put in the dictionary.
And please stop with the incel bullshit. That is so played out. You're just embarrassing yourself.
He's clearly not here to discuss anything seriously or honestly.
We were discussing a real point about the show, and now he has changed the discusion to a bullshit semantics argument.
The guy you are talking to wants to imprison non white people. Is that racist or is it acceptable because he's one of your incel buddies?
shareAre you talking about me? I hope not. Because I don't want to imprison black people. Where did you get this bullshit from?
I want to send them back to Africa, not have tax payers pay for their prison stays.
Oh wow that's so much better! It will not happen blacks are here to stay. Why don't you leave?
shareThe US is a White country. Founded by White people for White people.
https://immigrationhistory.org/item/1790-nationality-act/
The Nationality Act of 1790 clearly states that only white, male property owners could naturalize and acquire the status of citizens, whereas women, nonwhite persons, and indentured servants could not. While access to citizenship would become more expansive over time, It wasn't until 1952 that these restrictions were eliminated.
All that is to say, I'm White of European descent, therefore this country is mine. If you are not White, this country is not for you. Allowing others to come here was a mistake. It's time to reverse that mistake.
It's time for mass deportations.
He crushed you on the topic.
If you were a serious or honest person you would admit it.
Oh no he didn't. He actually proved my point. You incels don't even know what the word actually means. It's a buzzword and I proved that I'm with him and you. The dictionary overrides you and him sorry. So no quite opposite I crushed him.
shareWhat do you think of him wanting all blacks deported back to Africa? You cool with that?
shareThe bit where you try to jump all over the place, is your brain dealing with the fact that it knows it lost the argument.
shareWow this is a new low. You will gladly support a racist piece of shit so long as they agree with you. I didn't jump all over the place he openly supports that. Your concession is noted.
shareNo the dictionary determines the definition. Also it's only you dumb incels which use the weird in that way so it is not the majority. Either way though you idiots don't even know where the weird cane from originally.
Anyway you got exposed as a bigot.
No the dictionary determines the definition.
You're too stupid to have a conversation with.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/help/faq-words-into-dictionary
"How does a word get into a Merriam-Webster dictionary?
This is one of the questions Merriam-Webster editors are most often asked.
The answer is simple: usage."
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/word-meaning/#ConMinLex
“Ordinary language” philosophers of the 1950s and 1960s regarded work in formal semantics as essentially irrelevant to issues of meaning in natural language. Following Austin and the later Wittgenstein, they identified meaning with use and were prone to consider the different patterns of use of individual expressions as originating different meanings of the word. " share
Lol and why is that definition in there then? Because that's how it's actually used idiot.
shareNo, that is how it used to be used. But it's not anymore. Now it has a new meaning. This (pejorative) is how we use it now. Eventually the dictionary will catch up. That comes last.
The point is, dummy, that dictionaries do not determine the definition of words. Usage defines words. Dictionaries just document the usage.
Now run along fool. You've already wasted too much of my time.
Lol and once the dictionary catches up get back to me. Until then I will use it how the definition is actually used. Anyway anything else or are you done?
shareOh no!
shareOh and fyi the word woke is not magic either. You saying that doesn't automatically make you win. Got that incel?
shareErrr, when we use that word, we generally use in in the context of discussing real world examples of how "wokeness" is causing an impact in the real world.
Like here, when we are happy to discuss the way that wokeness has fucked up the Acolyte.
We are willing, eager indeed, to discuss the issue,
you use the term "Racist" to try to END discussion, to dodge discussion by attacking the person you are talkign to, INSTEAD of discussing the topic.
See, you structured your sentence as though our behaviors are equivilent, and you were making a point that we both do something similar.
But your claim is just completely false. All you did was reveal that you are utterly failing to grasp anything people say around you, or even what you say yourself.
Nope I've only used it one time and that was against him for being blatantly racist.
You have used the word woke many times even in areas it didn't apply. That's your way of shutting down the discussion.
Your refusal to address my point seriously or honestly is noted.
Your refusal to open up to using buzzwords is noted. You've used the word woke much more than I ever said racist.
shareYou understand what I/we mean when we say "woke" and you are welcome to address our concerns and I am willing to have such a discussion.
Your desire to whine like a fag about semantics, is less interesting to me.
Yep I do. I can't address your concerns on acolyte considering you have not even seen it. Go ahead tell the world where there was gay pushing in the series. You can't do it. You rely on other people to do your job for you.
Woke is just a buzzword you idiots throw onto things you dislike. It proved my earlier point.
You idiots will say something is woke before watching it. It's the boy who cried wolf. Furiosa wasn't woke at all but it doesn't stop you idiots from making that claim. You are no different.
So, you understand what we mean, you are just choosing to not have a real discussion and to instead have a hissy fit about semantics.
Got it.
I understand that you idiots mean yes. Thing is I like making fun of you idiots two ways because you guys don't even know the basic meaning of the word. That's one. Number two even when we go off your dumb buzzword definition you guys will state something is woke before seeing it.
Furiosa even by your dumbass buzzword definition isn't woke, but it doesn't stop those of you who haven't seen it from staying that. So no you guys are idiots all the way around.
So, you are just here to be a troll over a minor issue of semantics, instead of making ANY effort towards an actual discussion of the topic(s)?
OK. i knew that, I'm just amazed that you are so unaware that you don't seem to see how much of an admission you just made.
Nope considering I just told you I saw Furiosa. Even going by your standards the movie isn't woke by that dumb buzzword meaning you have all created. However it doesn't stop incels like yourself from claiming it's woke before seeing it. So no I don't trust when idiots like you call something woke before seeing it. It is hollow and means nothing to me.
share"Nope" to what?
That you are just here to troll?
I pointed out that you were ignoring the topic to have a hissy fit about semantics and you agreed.
So....
But that wasn't all I did... That also wasn't trolling. I just like pointing out how their use is not the true definition.
I also addressed how even by your own meaning of the word it doesn't apply to films they call it before seeing. You don't get to bypass that incel.
No it's not semantics. That's what the word means. You idiots have coopted it.
Nah I'm good. Anyone with a brain fan see you are an incel piece of trash.
1. It's semantic nonsense. You ignore a real issue to have a hissy fit about semantics.
2. This... odd connection you make that conflates NOT bending the knee to woke assholes, to being an "incel" is... you being... fucking retarded. I would be curious to hear your chain of logic, simply to see how fucking retarded you are. But, I guess that even you are afraid to explain it, tells me just how insanely retarded it must be, that even YOU are afraid to share it.
No it's the meaning of the word. You idiots wanting to dispute that is delusional on your end.
Nope it's when you make the claim before even watching the product. Which you have done.
1. We were discussing a real issue, you choose to suppress the discussion by having a hissy fit over semantics.
2. That has nothing to do with being an incel. IT is like you don't even know the meaning of the word. So, what is your actual issue that you want to attack me on?
Nope it's the meaning of the word. That isn't semantics. I even addressed your guy's definition and it falls apart under scrutiny.
Oh it does actually. Don't make claims before knowing what actually is it makes you look like an idiot.
1. You are ignoring the real issue to whine like a fag about semantics.
2. So, you think "incel" means "idiot"? Your defense is that you don't know the actual meaning of the word? Wonderful. Liberals. All the self awareness of a potted plant. IF that potted plant is dead.
Nope I even moved past it and dismantled your claims by your own definition.
Didn't say that. I said you are an idiot and you have done things which prove you are an incel. Nice twisting of words. Now go ahead explain to me how Furiosa is woke? You often make claims before seeing a film, so how is it woke? Your right ring crowd wants you to vouch for them.
100% !!
shareTread lightly friend. You're in danger of being called a racist misogynist phobe if you don't like diversity being shoved down your throat. So open wide and take it deep, otherwise you're fascist.

Everyone who down voted it is racist and misogynistic? Also if the fanbase doesn’t like it shouldn’t Disney be trying to make something that they will enjoy? Continuing to make stuff they know the fanbase doesn’t want is like continually putting sugar in your gas tank thinking it’s going to work each time.
sharethey are relevant because they pay to see the movies.
share"Audience reviews are irrelevant when they are racist and misogynistic."
Not really since they're a small minority. Kennedy already said she doesn't want the haters' money, therefore they should get lost.
If Kathy were so confident that the only people who didn’t like the show were a minority of “racist toxic trolls” then she wouldn’t be running defense control. Apparently that minority has a lot of control over her and you.
Also why do you care so much? Why is it so important to you that everyone likes what you like?
I’ve also yet to see any evidence of your racist, toxic fanbase attacking Disney , except for rightfully pointing out legitimate criticisms. Maybe you should have your facts straight before you make such vile smears.
Telling trolls to get lost isn't "defense control".
I never wrote that I like Disney Star Wars.
You're projecting. You can't be much if a female and POC in a Disney series unhinges you.
First of all they aren’t trolls, they are pointing out legitimate criticisms , secondly if Disney is so convinced they are just a minority of trolls then why are they so triggered by them? If we see supposed to ignore the negative reviews should we also ignore the positive shill reviews that Disney paid for?
Also what have I said that insinuates that I just don’t want women POCs in Star Wars? I’m against bad writing in Star Wars and it seems you are the one who is “projecting”.
I also asked you why you care so much what the “racist toxic trolls” are doing as they have no impact on your ability to enjoy the show. It sounds like both you and Disney aren’t very secure with yourselves.
You and Disney are one and the same, just call people who point out legitimate criticisms “racist”, “toxic”, etc. it’s all just a defense mechanism to shield the fact that Disney Star Wars is a disaster. The acolyte now has a lower RT score than the holiday special, live with that race baiter.
You're saying if someone gives a 1/10 rating for Star Wars: A New Hope for the only reason being the main character is a white male, then it's a legitimate criticism and rating.
share[deleted]
I have yet to see anyone give The Acolyte a 1/10 just because it didn’t star white men, however I’ve seen plenty of people praise The Acolyte because it stared DEI quotas. I have also seen people criticize The Acolyte because they went out of their way to cast and hire “diversity” instead of people who had talent and knew what they were doing, that’s not the same as criticizes the Acolyte because it didn’t star any white men. You’re attempting to set up a false premise, race baiter. Also it’s Disney who went out of their way to cast and hire people just because they checked off the correct DEI quotas, not because of their artistic talent. You and Disney are the only ones who are obsessed with race and gender.
Also no one in their right mind thinks The Acolyte is anywhere near as a good as A New Hope is.
Why didn’t you answer any of my questions? Are you interested in having an actual discussion or are you more comfortable deflecting and throwing out disgusting smears and insults. I’ll ask again: If the people who don’t like the Acolyte are a “minority of racists and sexists” then why do you care what they think? They literally have no impact on your ability to enjoy The Acolyte? The only explanation I can see is you are a very insecure person and you need validation from strangers.
I think deep down you are jealous that we get more enjoyment out of making fun of Disney Star Wars than you do from watching it.
"Nobody wants to watch something made by and for lesbians and non-binary women of color.

He clearly said he didn’t want to watch a show FOR lesbians. That’s a lot different than saying you don’t want to watch a show that just happened to start black lesbians. He sees it as a show whose priority is to promote DEI and LGBTQ propaganda and not telling a Star Wars story. You took his words out of context. I’m sure that if the show was respectful to the lore, didn’t prioritize DEI, was well written and was entertaining he wouldn’t have a problem with it. You’re a liar and a race baiter.
Also i said I had yet to see anyone give the show a 1 just because it didn’t star white men, you posted an anonymous chat room poster which is quite different and also said nothing about white men, just that he was sick of “the message” being prioritized over telling a story. You also ignored like 90 percent of my last post btw.
"Audience reviews are irrelevant when they are racist and misogynistic."
Keep repeating it enough times until it becomes true.
They have nothing to do with the quality of the movie or TV series. I'll repeat until your reading comprehension improves.
