Hard Core Star Wars Fan’s lose their minds

The "Star Wars" series "The Acolyte" by showrunner Leslye Headland is facing a growing counter-petition to permanently bury the show from the franchise. This comes after fans, who were promised LGBTQ themes, started a Change.org petition to get it renewed. The counter-petition emphasizes concerns about the show breaking canon and damaging established characters, urging Disney to reset the prequel era back to George Lucas's original vision. The counter-petition has garnered over 16,000 signatures, surpassing the renewal petition's numbers. Despite initially positive reception, the series reportedly struggled with lukewarm reviews and poor ratings, culminating in the lowest-ever viewership for a "Star Wars" series finale. Headland had previously announced her goal of making the show "coded queer," aiming to reflect her experiences as a queer woman in the finished product.
