Disney+ Star Wars: The Acolyte

[Himmel]

A new “Star Wars” series is in the works at Disney Plus, Variety has learned from sources. The series hails from Leslye Headland, the co-creator, showrunner, and executive producer of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series “Russian Doll.”

Details of the exact plot of the series are being kept under wraps, but sources say it will be a female-centric series that takes place in a different part of the “Star Wars” timeline than other projects. Headland is said to be attached to write and serve as showrunner on the series, with the show currently staffing. Source

Oh good, there hasn't been enough female-centric stuff in Star Wars lately.

Lol. I love how the first detail revealed is that it'll be female-centric. It's beyond a parody at this point.

Yup. But hey, ST defenders will be happy so that is the main thing . . .

At least you didn't bet much.

what moron would actually pay money to see this?

If you already pay for D+ it's "free" with the rest of the content, but probably won't be bad enough to get most ppl to unsubscribe

My D+ subscription is hanging by a thread. The quality of this show will definitely influence if I keep it.

I know I am just one of 150 million or so and Disney doesn't care what I do, but that's the update from my household.

Mine has been for a while but Ill stick it out. I added the ad-free Hulu bundle to watch Shogun so Im back in for at least a month, LOL.

The bar for Acolyte is very low, no other way to approach it seeing as whos behind it. Hey, maybe we get lucky and its awesome.

Here's the key tho: is it compelling enough to keep people subscribed? Right now, aside from Doctor Who and Macross, there's nothing on the channel I want. As soon as those shows wrap for the season, I am bouncing out of my sub.

Sure I'll probably watch the Wars content someday. Maybe. But beyond throwing 10 bucks at Disney for one month, that's as far as I'm willing to go.

The whole point of a trailer is to sell the project to the viewer. It did none of the heavy lifting. It gave you nothing of the story, of the setting, of the characters, or gave a reason that I should give a shit about the show. Looking at it objectively, it was a pretty terrible trailer.

It's gotta be a live action Ahsoka, Sabine going to find Ezra right?

[Fnord Prefect]

Read a little about her background and some recent interviews. Turns out she's a massive racist, misandrist and hypocrite, sorry, far left progressive.

This is going to be an absolute shitshow.

Hopefully that is saved for another season of Rebels.

[ben6543]

oh boy Midnight's Edge will have a field day with this one. I bet Kennedy will have her hands all over this

[Bugg]

It'll probably go into production some time in between the Rian Johnson trilogy and the Dan and Dave trilogy. Next week it will be axed and Disney will announce they will not be starting any new projects for a few years, then a month later they will announce the launch of the Wookieverse with a Chewbacca movie.

For anyone who hasn't already decided to hate whatever this turns out to be, I suggest giving Headland's Russian Doll and Sleeping With Other People a look if you haven't already. I thought both were pretty good.
