‘The Acolyte’ Creator Doesn’t Believe Her New Star Wars Series Is “Queer With a Capital Q”

Of course, the reason this creator got hired was to make it that way.

Thanks shill.

Whew! 😛

That's odd since when Lezzie Headlamp was promoting the show, she taunted fans by calling Acolyte "The gayest Star Wars show." Anyway, George Lucas never intended for SW to be gay porn, so no amount of queer baiting or queer coding is allowed in Star Wars. NONE.

... she taunted fans by calling Acolyte "The gayest Star Wars show.

No she didn't. Complete b-llshit...

Is Forbes lying?

"In a now-viral interview clip, Stenberg and Headland laugh as an interviewer for The Wrap jokes that “The Acolyte” is the “gayest” entry in the “Star Wars” franchise, prompting Stenberg to say “Star Wars is so gay already—I mean, have you seen the ‘fits?”

Headland also joked, “Are you telling me with a straight face that C-3PO is straight?” and said she thinks “it’s canon that R2-D2 is a lesbian,” referring to the companion robot characters in “Star Wars.”

The Wrap’s tweet of the interview, posted with “Happy Pride Month!” in the caption, quickly attracted negative responses from conservative critics in the replies.

“The Acolyte” has been flooded with negative user reviews online: It has just a 27% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 3.4 average out of 10 on Metacritic, both far below the positive critics scores.

Headland, who is queer, previously told The Advocate there is “no way that me being a queer woman is not going to be reflected in my work” while discussing “The Acolyte.”

You said:-

... she taunted fans by calling Acolyte "The gayest Star Wars show."

I'm telling you again that is absolute b-llshit.

Actually watch the video and tell me exactly where SHE says that (which you won't be able to) or simply admit you're just baiting and talking garbage...

Lezzie Headlamp taunted fans by saying “Are you telling me with a straight face that C-3PO is straight?” and said she thinks “it’s canon that R2-D2 is a lesbian,” after a gay interviewer called the Acolyte the gayest Star wars show ever.

reply

LOL again...Yes but you know as well as I do that is not what you were claiming previously is it?

... she taunted fans by calling Acolyte "The gayest Star Wars show."

Changes to:-
... after a gay interviewer called the Acolyte the gayest Star wars show ever.

What a pathetic rollback. And you told me to watch the video you obviously hadn't even bothered to as you were too busy sucking off what you wanted to believe...

And even then, what? You genuinely think she's the first person to have mentioned C3PO being camp as Christmas? What a joke - You want to start talking to me about innocent deaths on the Death Star next? 🙄

Like I said, just pathetic. We both know you talked complete b-llshit and now you aren't even man enough to man up and admit that...

reply

What does Queer with a capital Q even mean? Do they show graphic depictions of felching?

reply

It's as opposed to QUEER in all caps lit up in neon with search lights hitting it. 😉

reply

Oh, I see. So…no felching?

reply

only Queefing

reply

... And Barnett is actually one of two Russian Doll actors to play a Jedi on The Acolyte, as Headland’s wife, Rebecca Henderson, plays Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh from the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project. Headland married Henderson in 2016.

See here's a real thing to get angry about.

Nepotism. And of the worst type since she's an absolutely god awful actress - ruins pretty much every scene she's in.

reply

But she said it was the “gayest Star Wars ever”, was she lying then or is she lying now?
