    Hello and welcome to my channel. I have voiced my opinions on Disney Star Wars on Twitter for a while, but now I want to start voicing them on my You Tube channel. It is going to take some time for me to get settled into creating content again. Until then, please leave comments, suggestions, or any questions you have for me down below.

    Yes - there are many shows / movies that have a small fan base ( niche audience ) ... I have a few entries to that some would look side-wise at me for - but hey - you like what you like. If someone thinks it awful - fair 'nuff. I may not like what they like. Everyone has their own thing.... that said Acolyte has a very small fan-base that may need future medical/physiological help. All the best to them though. Hope they can recover soon.

    Steph, I think this is a very good video, from the editing, to the information being shared, and the delivery.
    If Amandla wanted sympathy she would show the world the proof. I think she is part of the reason for the show failing, on top of bad writing, when she makes a video running her mouth. I know that I'm not going to watch anything a actor is in if they insult the fans.

      The idea is very simple: they start with the belief that the fan market is saturated already and the fans are all mindless drones like the disney-lifers, so they will accept everything without question, no matter the quality.
      So in order to increase revenue, they have to expand the target audience to include people who do not like the original material by perverting and bastardizing the ip.
      The issue for Disney is that most fans of franchises are not mindless drones.

      Truth. And KK has programmed all the show runners, directors, and actors that the only way a show cannot be a hit is if it's a conspiracy. Now that the show failed, they are bringing out all the talking points. How is this working out for you Disney?!? I am not political and sure as heck not racist.

    If the enough Star Wars fans were under the impression that The Acolyte was a well written and acted show, more people would’ve supported and watched it so that Disney and Lucasfilm would’ve chosen to renew it as opposed to cancel it since the show was negatively reviewed plus the fact that Amandla Stenberg’s Disscource video was more than enough of a reason to pull the plug on the series all together due to poor ratings and a complete lack of interest from Star Wars fans all over the world. All she’s doing is giving us another reason to hate her just like Rachel Zegler and the inevitable disaster of a live action remake known as Snow White.

  • @reddalchemy5970
    @reddalchemy5970 Місяць тому

    She is just making herself look dumb by continuing to put out videos stating it was racism or bigotry that caused the cancellation on the show. The show got cancelled because it was bad, and the rating showed it was bad. That is what Studios do, they cancel shows that are not profitable or lack the viewership needed to sustain the reason for spending money to keep it on air. In case she forgot, it costs a lot of money to pay the producers, and showrunners, and PA's and actors, and graphic artists and animators and wardrobe....so if it is financially more sound to scrap a show they know will lose money, they will. Race had absolutely nothing to do with his, but her trying to turn it into a campaign on why her acting career is hitting a wall is just asinine. Then to make a DISS TRACK about it...come on. Its just showing a lot of immaturity. Instead of taking the L and moving on, she is getting the spotlight now for all the wrong reasons and shooting herself in the foot for other potentially lucrative projects that might have come her way. She is handling it really badly and then broadcasting it to the world.
    As a black person, and one that worked for a studio before, I can say that she is wrong in her response and wants to put blame on everything she can, and its a shame. Shows get cancelled, movies flop, that is just how it is sometimes in Hollywood, but do not take it out on the fans or anyone else. Just move on to something bigger or better if an opportunity presents itself. Instead, she is making herself look unstable.

    She is so naïve! I was born back in the early 1970's, we had film critics that gave the most horrific critiques of movies, and TV shows in magazines, newspapers, and on TV. Nobody back then blamed the critics if a show didn't do very well, people had their own opinions, and views and we didn't slag each other off like this. Amandla has shot herself in the foot, she will find it hard to find employment in Hollywood after this again. This nonsense has to stop now, Disney, Lucasfilm, they all need to shut up and "ACTIVELY LISTEN" and take in feedback on how to improve content, and understand what the fans like. Amandla, like many other celebrities, has problems with living in a bubble and narcissism issues. You don't see Brad Pitt or George Clooney spewing victimhood on social media if one of their movies tanked at the box office. They just act professionally, and get on with their lives. Does Tem Morrison blame the fans for his show? I think not.

    You're oversimplifying Amandla Stenberg’s statement and ignoring the impact that such issues online can have on creators and actors. Her blaming the 'conservative alt-right' is not the only reason she mentioned, and reducing the issue to that alone misses the complexity of the situation. Sure, many people didn't like it because of the writing and pacing. However, the cast and crew did the best they could with what was provided, and they obviously don't feel comfortable voicing their opinions anymore because of backlash.

      None of that matters. It’s a business. You don’t insult the very people you want to consume your product. That was a 180$ million investment that saw no return. It’s not a charity feel good arts department where you can fart around all day on other people’s dime. People expect a return on their investment. Antagonizing everyone then running to play victim is immature and juvenile. The creators showed no respect to the lore that came before it but expects everyone to respect it’s own work. It’s not complicated. They don’t get to play whiny victim activist anymore and twist Star Wars to suit their own weird fantasies.

    • @charleshartley9597
      @charleshartley9597 Місяць тому

      Uhm, no, Amandla, you don't get to call me a "conservative alt right bigot" because the work you did was bad and not well-received. To be clear, ultimately the failure lies at the feet of the showrunner Headland for writing such amateurish dialogue, simplistic story arcs, while also ignoring what had come before. Just because you set the show before everything else in the timeline you don't get to do anything you want.
      The true test of a show is if someone that is not an existing fan watches something and they say your show is crap, well it probably is. Those viewers have no agenda regarding canon, have not been fed the false narrative that SW needs more women and diversity, etc., and can say "wow, her acting is so wooden" or "why did that character suddenly do that?!" because of the quality of the writing and directing, maybe you should listen. Maybe there is something to it. By contrast, if the same non-fan watches a show knowing very little of the story or lore, and be drawn in, that is a well constructed show. Exhibit A is "Andor" which was praised by most as just compelling TV, regardless of it being SW or not. Compare your show and Andor, and tell me how they compare.
