The acolyte is garbage.
1) The main character has two mothers
2) All of the main Jedi characters are Black or Asian, zero White men.
3) In the first episode, the only speaking role for a white character was for prisoners.
In Episode 3, they plan to throw away all Star Wars cannon and also start using pronouns. One reviewer who has seen the episode said it will destroy all remaining affection the fans had for Star Wars.

In episode 1
There was a fire in the vacuum of space. It crackled like a campfire and it was extinguished with a fire extinguisher.
Add in 5ft tall female with no muscle mass kicking the hell out of 7ft tall males aliens.
It's really kind of stupid.

Feh. The whole franchise was doomed from the moment this cinecrime was foisted on us:

This has been a looooong time coming.

LucasArts becoming Disney? Long time indeed. They probably are using SweetBaby* services.

These woke companies are so dumb that it's beyond being pathetic.
The solution is to NOT change existening properties.... It's to create new ones which cater specifically to the demographic that they're trying to promote.

Agreed. But there's something above and beyond pathetic: Hiring those and letting them lose on your creations.
Targeting audience has been around for a long time: "ethnic movies", "inclusive casting". Results are usually poor but still better than the pathetic.

We live in an era in which we are witnessing a tyranny of moronity because there are too many people who have gone to university.
These days it's like trying to have a calm conversation about why I'm not comfortable going to a gynecologist who also accepts patients who have a penis.

Apologies, I didn't notice. As a half-baked excuse, you can read it just scrolling down without paying. But still it's not cool.

If about 2% of the population do college, then it's not tyranny; the morons are 98% thus majority and, by current democratic models, they win. Not that those models are great.
About the second paragraph, you lost me. Well, some things are better left alone.
