@@workingjellyfish That Nerdist interview with Headland is absolutely bizarre. She sounds detached from reality in that video. Like I'm genuinely concerned for her.
Even the worst from George Lucas has more originality, creativity, passion, substance, and meaning behind it than anything made by the newer filmmakers of the franchise, with exceptions. The wisdom and experience that came from years of research, learning, and learning from mistakes made in the past and from history, rather than self-proclaimed wisdom based on bias, self-importance, arrogance, or even ignorance.
Lucas's 'Star Wars' is like sex. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good. Disney's 'Star Wars' is like playing Russian Roulette with only one empty chamber. The odds are, something terrible is coming.
"Spiritual journey to become who you ARE".... not strive to be better, not to see your faults and defects and work on improving yourself, not overcoming hardships and mistakes to become stronger... but embracing what you already. It doesnt make sense, and at the very worst it is basically qualifying every negative urge and desire and never think to discipline those or balance yourself to find inner peace. It all makes sense why these people are the worst of humanity. They have none.
But why begrudge her that when it works SO WELL! Even a decade after someone like Feminist Frequency did the same song and dance, the excuse STILL works.
@@SpecterVonBaren Because no one remembers Feminist Frequency, or at least doesn't remember it fondly. It had a kickstarter, it took people's money, it never delivered, it was headed by a grifter who scammed their audience. Feminist Frequency created a problem in an industry it had no stakes in, and sold the solution to people who didn't do their own research and didn't know any better. But now, after-all this time, after a decade, people are noticing. The general public, which is a majority that's slowly breaking silence, is getting not only tired, but exhausted from it. And, it shows with their time-invested in other media, where-in the result The Acolyte isn't anywhere near the ratings board for the currently most viewed show. People aren't stupid, and individual critical thinking does develop to take over.
@@TheTrueRandomGamer I understand your viewpoint, and I admit that I’m groveling about him, but this is in comparison to Leslie Headland. If staying on my knees in front of him, groveling, will provide a quality product and a worthwhile tale, then grovel I shall. Headland doesn’t have what it takes to work in this franchise. Perhaps she can make her own and follow in the same hurdles, but in terms of established lore and stories, she is terrible.
@@shuckLedurkins I can see that, but it only proves that she isn’t at the level she proclaims to be; rather proving she tried to do what George did, but had no humility in the process whatsoever. When was the last time she was depressed by setback? When did she feel she was way over her head? When did she have doubts? Finally, we know what Star Wars is, so why did she change it to suit her needs above the established lore of Good versus Evil? No matter how gray our world seems, there are still established lines of Good and Evil.
Every female character in George’s SW has been really strong without trying too hard. I don’t understand where they are getting this idea that it doesn’t?
16:47 "there's too many Jedi". Oh, she's one of those smoothbrains that think the balance of the Force is 2 Jedi & 2 Sith. Right. Cause justice is 2 cops and 2 serial killers. And a healthy body is 50% cancer.
The part where Lesley admits she basically hustled her way to her first movie is very interesting. She is basically saying that, either women should be more like men or that men are better at getting jobs, or better deals, due to confidence. In whichever case I wonder if she ever stopped to think how this sounds.

I do like the exploration of the grey areas in the Star Wars universe, it can be done well - deconstructing the “all Jedi are unfailingly pure” concept was done well in KOTOR 2, which showed that good intentions can still lead to damaging outcomes; and Andor does moral ambiguity expertly. The Star Wars universe does have room for more than just good and evil storytelling, but only if that storytelling is done well.
@@kylekatarn5964This, this right here. Their existence relies on an enemy, of which there aren’t so they have to fantasise one. I mean, really let that sink in, they WANT racists/sexists to exist.

@@funkydiscogod Lesley didn’t create anything. She just randomly generated ideas, similar to AI content. George, on the other hand, had to wrestle with his dream being reality, with setbacks and shortfalls, and that alone became its own tale. But his vision to create a modern myth, a fairy tale of hope, friendship, and yes, love, resonated with the audience. There was vision, direction, and purpose.
@@funkydiscogod Well... I'd say we're at a point at which Star Wars is used more as a vehicle for trying out "progressive" stories (which does not really feel progressive at all) but puts them in a universe that's already there. The result then is a bad story that also never attempted to actually be a part of the universe Lucas created.
Amazing editing work WJF! No doubt finding all those clips was a chore on its own, then putting them all together to highlight the stark differences between these creatives. Well, calling Headland a "creative" is a bit of a stretch as demonstrated in this video. Ugh, it hurts my scifi soul so much to see where we were amd were we are now.
Thanks mate, it was a labour watching Headland and her ilk unironically praise how brilliant they think their work is. The silver-lining: I appreciate George even more now.
It's how the crazy propaganda works. Find what is popular, steal it, place your stamp on it, then rewrite it. I could make Barbie a story about how the blond woman is actually a psychotic serial killer who dances around the remains of her lovers by making a 'prequel' and then slapping my name and claiming anyone who loves Barbie is secretly an insane serial killer. That is how KK and these writers work. Slap their name, rewrite the work, and then claim it was always made by them as they made all the good parts as they continue to trash the setting and lecture the audience.
"What I was interested in examining were the Sith master/apprentice dynamic. If the apprentice is craving the master's power, then at some point he must recruit his apprentice to overthrow the master." ~ Leslye Headland There's just so many ways to apply this. Is it Leslye craving Harvey Weinstein's power? Is it KK recruiting apprentices to overflow George? …
It is embarrassing how people come in who just write their own bad fanfiction and it becomes canon. It is a very common problem of people making stories and then shoving them into a skinsuit of a franchise, this has a lot of that, but it is not as bad as Halo. I think Lesley is just an idiot.
Like I mentioned in your hour Acolyte video essay, your editing is superb!! 👏 👏 👏 13:00 🤬🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH THIS PART DRIVES ME CRAZYYY. Who the hell thinks this about the jedi BESIDES an effing villian? "He's the counterculture of the era" Jesus Christ... she's a piece of work that one. 18:30 OOF... They're laughing but if he'd only known how things would turn out...
Still hard to mourn the death of a "friend"(Which SW was), but hopefully, in a future, there will be no disney canon. I mean, hopefully different studios will make their own canons and fans will decide what is true and what is disney
And I thought I was too desensitised to the bullsh*ttery that is modern Star Wars by now, yet here I am, almost putting my fist through the monitor 9 minutes into the video...
I hope you resisted the urge. But without wanting to sound like Emperor Palpatine, your rage is good. It means that you still care about Star Wars deep down, and Disney can't take that away from you, no matter how hard they try.
I think the part that showed the most arrogance and disrespect was hearing Harvey Weinstein's former personnel assistant claim men have it so easy and never struggle getting to make movies. While there are a plethora of clips with George Lucas saying he had to go to nearly every door to knock and plead for a chance. While she was handed the role with a gift wrapped 180 million dollar budget.
If I never see this lady again it will be too soon.... I hate the "fake it until you make it" attitude far too many people have nowadays... Wish people were more realistic and admit to themselves that they don't have what it takes and step down graciously. Nah, instead let's double and triple down with more garbage and talking points that mean nothing during interviews.
The comment - That only George Lucas holds the key for what we understand to be Star Wars is just untrue - Reminds of that scene from Back To School where Rodney Dangerfield has to do a book report and hires the author of said book to write it form him and the professor gives Rodney an F because apparently the author doesn’t know the ins and outs of his own book… anyways, that is a very arrogant thing to say about GL
I like how everyone that uses to shit on Lucas back in the prequel days now call him a master visionary. Also: The EU books were fine, some great, but most of them were just "meh".
With the EU it's less "omg I love every fucking book!!!" And more "I like the timeline more". Like with Disney (I haven't read anything they've punished, there are some books in interested in), anyways with Disney, watch Mando, tbob, Ahsoka, and the ST. How much do you like that timeline? And I think the quality is similar levels of inconsistent.
Well, that was so masterfully edited. Bravo. I mean holy shit, it drills down on all the points so hard. And hilariously at the same time. GG Jellyfish. 😂
And that is the difference between a moron who is disrespectful and makes trash (LH) compared to a person who has tremendous passion and lives the process, a person who loves his work and wants to make it matter, George please take back Star Wars!
I absolutely hate that she keeps saying the rebels are anti establishment. They are literally trying to replace a fascist establishment with a democratic one, not create anarchy.
Los Jedi tienen muchas cosas criticables: Los dogmas, algunas reglas y la prohibición de lazos romanticos... Y sin embargo, uno entiende que no son superheroes como Superman o Capitan America, son personas, con muchos poderes y habilidades especiales, que tienen defectos como cualquier otro mortal. Ellos tratan de mejorar y ser los guardianes de la paz que la galaxia de Star Wars necesita para progresar. Por otro lado, los Sith no buscan mejorar, buscan amplificar sus propios defectos creyendo que así van a lograr sus objetivos egoistas porque eso es el lado oscuro: Es compasión...sólo para mi. Con esto no quiero decir que las personas no tengan que buscar el amor propio, lo que digo que es que hay una delgada linea entre amor propio y el narcisismo peligroso de los Sith. Leslie Headland se equivoca al decir que los Jedi no aman. Todo lo contrario: Los jedi deben ser tan compasivos y bondadosos que incluso deben amar a sus propios enemigos y por eso el camino jedi es tan dificil: requiere disciplina, requiere esfuerzo, requiere renunciar a ciertas cosas, requiere SACRIFICIO... El camino Sith tambien requiere de sacrificios pero a un nivel superficial. Ellos sacrifican todo para tener un placer instantaneo y biologico. Le tienen tanto miedo a la muerte que eso les impide vivir su vida presente. Por eso los Sith son tan tragicos: Nunca consiguen lo que quieren. Nunca alcanzan la verdadera felicidad... Por supuesto que los Jedi de las precuelas estaban lejos de ser perfectos. Eran arrogantes, eran dogmaticos, eran peones del Senado y se habían distanciado de sus propias emociones lo que los hizo incapaces de sentir empatía por el resto de personas en la galaxia. Sin embargo, tambien había Jedi como Qui-Gon Jinn que entendían el verdadero camino y estaban siempre dispuestos a hacer lo correcto ( En Leyendas, Darth Plagueis le tenía miedo a Qui-Gon por ese motivo). Lado oscuro = ´´Lo que yo quiero´´. Lado luminoso = ´´Lo que yo necesito´´.
Imagine having the arrogance to say that the creator of the franchise isn't the one who dictates and guides what their own universe is, was and shall be. I don't think there has ever been a franchise that has deviated away from what the original creator laid out, that continued to be successful. What a hack fraud.
Thank you working jellyfish, this has made me even more depressed. Star Wars is never going back to its full potential with this rot at its core. The good ol’ days are far behind us
Every time KK and her woke army say they want to make the “force female” they are so disrespectful to Carrie Fischer and Leia, and to Natalie Portman and Padme.
Even tho I only sub to channels i really enjoy i dont watch all of their videos. When I saw this I clicked so fast and just the contrast of the interviews at the start twlls me everything I need to know. Edit: wait, its just George being a boss and woke star wars being weak. Thanks for showcasing this. We need to call our poor film making
Thank you, this is just an exert from my full video. I have more to say, maybe skip the first 16 min though since you’ve already watched this. ua-cam.com/video/4xu0xn-hPrc/v-deo.htmlsi=Rt-60CROhxR-bbCg
Star Wars patriarchal? Interesting, this sounds like someone who’s never watched it before because Star Wars has had awesome three dimensional female characters since it first started back in 1977.
Honestly could show this to the star wars fans on Twitter and watch them so "NO tHaS NooT rIGhT yYou MisS HEaRd It" lol this proves how far we gone down with the care of amking a star wars product. Side note still fantastic video
Thanks, I’ve already had several folk claim I’ve used Headland’s quotes out of context. I subsequently linked all of her interviews, but it just proves that there is no pleasing some people.
@workingjellyfish hopefully once Kathleen Kennedy is gone in 2025 (hopefully they don't give her a new contract) we should see a restart of starwars written by real fans that don't want to just make a story for them selfs cause star wars is everyones baby not just lesly and her point of view. Now if they had made a show actually about a siths acolyte that yes would be a evil show cause siths that would be cool not what ever the first season was and now they claim the show to be romance as if Ani didn't just do that. Sorry for the long comment but things have to be said and stop this narrative that if we call them out we are homaphobs or hate women but times change and we can clearly see nobody truly care who one love as long as it's not pushed on to everyone around and in everyone's face. Again sorry and again fantastic video

because he's very old. do you want the IP tied up in probate for decades? He had to pass it on to someone. It's SAD he couldn't be bothered to put together a better option than Disney. We need a way to properly preserve things like this. Personally I think Disney strong armed him into it somehow, I don't know how, but they forced him to sell it to them. He could have setup a trust and had some way for fans to elect directors or something, something new. Disney has ALWAYS been garbage, and remains so today.
The CEO of Disney, Bob Iger talks about this is his autobiography. He basically wined and dined Lucas into selling it to Disney, promising to protect Lucasfilm and its legacy. Lucas’ personal reasons were just that, he was getting older and wanted to focus on other things (family and smaller film projects). There are multiple other factors, of course, like the critical reception of the prequels. But that’s the short version.
No small feat to destroy a billion dollar franchise and taking the magic out of star wars with woke ideology, shallow characters with no integrity and stories with no substance. Well done.
When she's talking about true love she's talking about lesbian love which the two sisters were not lesbians and there was no incest in that movie but evil people see evil things and they want to corrupt good

Slap their name, rewrite the work, and then claim it was always made by them as they made all the good parts as they continue to trash the setting and lecture the audience.
Awesome! I was just about to request this! Much thanks!
The Lucas clips got me in my feels 😢 great video
Thank you, tiny battle penguin.
Amazing composition. Thank you
Such a skillful, and damning, montage. Well done!
This deserves a subscription. Great job good Sir.
Welcome aboard, skipper.
"What I was interested in examining were the Sith master/apprentice dynamic. If the apprentice is craving the master's power, then at some point he must recruit his apprentice to overthrow the master." ~ Leslye Headland
There's just so many ways to apply this. Is it Leslye craving Harvey Weinstein's power? Is it KK recruiting apprentices to overflow George? …
Calling her a creator is an insult to acutal creators. All she did is take someone else's work, and twist it to fit her world view.
Great video
An Auteur filmmaker who helped revolutionize filmmaking and then there's Lesle
It is embarrassing how people come in who just write their own bad fanfiction and it becomes canon.
It is a very common problem of people making stories and then shoving them into a skinsuit of a franchise, this has a lot of that, but it is not as bad as Halo. I think Lesley is just an idiot.
Like I mentioned in your hour Acolyte video essay, your editing is superb!! 👏 👏 👏
13:00 🤬🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH THIS PART DRIVES ME CRAZYYY. Who the hell thinks this about the jedi BESIDES an effing villian? "He's the counterculture of the era" Jesus Christ... she's a piece of work that one.
18:30 OOF... They're laughing but if he'd only known how things would turn out...
Thanks again.
Holy shit, this is so good!
Bloody Brilliant.
Still hard to mourn the death of a "friend"(Which SW was), but hopefully, in a future, there will be no disney canon. I mean, hopefully different studios will make their own canons and fans will decide what is true and what is disney
And I thought I was too desensitised to the bullsh*ttery that is modern Star Wars by now, yet here I am, almost putting my fist through the monitor 9 minutes into the video...
I hope you resisted the urge. But without wanting to sound like Emperor Palpatine, your rage is good. It means that you still care about Star Wars deep down, and Disney can't take that away from you, no matter how hard they try.
I think the part that showed the most arrogance and disrespect was hearing Harvey Weinstein's former personnel assistant claim men have it so easy and never struggle getting to make movies. While there are a plethora of clips with George Lucas saying he had to go to nearly every door to knock and plead for a chance.
While she was handed the role with a gift wrapped 180 million dollar budget.
@@EndThusIAm it's almost like headland is disgusting or something
If I never see this lady again it will be too soon.... I hate the "fake it until you make it" attitude far too many people have nowadays... Wish people were more realistic and admit to themselves that they don't have what it takes and step down graciously. Nah, instead let's double and triple down with more garbage and talking points that mean nothing during interviews.
George may not have been perfect, but he was right
This documentary is a jewel...
🪼💎
@@workingjellyfish of course, a blue jewel 😘
The comment - That only George Lucas holds the key for what we understand to be Star Wars is just untrue - Reminds of that scene from Back To School where Rodney Dangerfield has to do a book report and hires the author of said book to write it form him and the professor gives Rodney an F because apparently the author doesn’t know the ins and outs of his own book… anyways, that is a very arrogant thing to say about GL
Brilliantly done. Subscribed.
Welcome aboard, skipper. 🪼
Same, your edit of “Anakin destroyed the Death Star!” was better than the Acolyte.
I like how everyone that uses to shit on Lucas back in the prequel days now call him a master visionary.
Also: The EU books were fine, some great, but most of them were just "meh".
With the EU it's less "omg I love every fucking book!!!" And more "I like the timeline more".
Like with Disney (I haven't read anything they've punished, there are some books in interested in), anyways with Disney, watch Mando, tbob, Ahsoka, and the ST. How much do you like that timeline? And I think the quality is similar levels of inconsistent.
The fact that she is comparing smiley sith to the rebels and the rebellion os insane to me
That's a sign of an utterly cracked worldview.
Well, that was so masterfully edited. Bravo.
I mean holy shit, it drills down on all the points so hard. And hilariously at the same time. GG Jellyfish. 😂
"We are so spoiled with star wars media"
I agree on a different level since so much of disney wars is spoiled and rotten
Andor excluded
And that is the difference between a moron who is disrespectful and makes trash (LH) compared to a person who has tremendous passion and lives the process, a person who loves his work and wants to make it matter, George please take back Star Wars!
I absolutely hate that she keeps saying the rebels are anti establishment. They are literally trying to replace a fascist establishment with a democratic one, not create anarchy.
Thank you for your sacrifice
Los Jedi tienen muchas cosas criticables: Los dogmas, algunas reglas y la prohibición de lazos romanticos... Y sin embargo, uno entiende que no son superheroes como Superman o Capitan America, son personas, con muchos poderes y habilidades especiales, que tienen defectos como cualquier otro mortal. Ellos tratan de mejorar y ser los guardianes de la paz que la galaxia de Star Wars necesita para progresar. Por otro lado, los Sith no buscan mejorar, buscan amplificar sus propios defectos creyendo que así van a lograr sus objetivos egoistas porque eso es el lado oscuro: Es compasión...sólo para mi. Con esto no quiero decir que las personas no tengan que buscar el amor propio, lo que digo que es que hay una delgada linea entre amor propio y el narcisismo peligroso de los Sith.
Leslie Headland se equivoca al decir que los Jedi no aman. Todo lo contrario: Los jedi deben ser tan compasivos y bondadosos que incluso deben amar a sus propios enemigos y por eso el camino jedi es tan dificil: requiere disciplina, requiere esfuerzo, requiere renunciar a ciertas cosas, requiere SACRIFICIO...
El camino Sith tambien requiere de sacrificios pero a un nivel superficial. Ellos sacrifican todo para tener un placer instantaneo y biologico. Le tienen tanto miedo a la muerte que eso les impide vivir su vida presente. Por eso los Sith son tan tragicos: Nunca consiguen lo que quieren. Nunca alcanzan la verdadera felicidad...
Por supuesto que los Jedi de las precuelas estaban lejos de ser perfectos. Eran arrogantes, eran dogmaticos, eran peones del Senado y se habían distanciado de sus propias emociones lo que los hizo incapaces de sentir empatía por el resto de personas en la galaxia. Sin embargo, tambien había Jedi como Qui-Gon Jinn que entendían el verdadero camino y estaban siempre dispuestos a hacer lo correcto ( En Leyendas, Darth Plagueis le tenía miedo a Qui-Gon por ese motivo).
Lado oscuro = ´´Lo que yo quiero´´.
Lado luminoso = ´´Lo que yo necesito´´.
Comparing the two is like comparing a fruit cake with rotten tomatoes
Imagine having the arrogance to say that the creator of the franchise isn't the one who dictates and guides what their own universe is, was and shall be. I don't think there has ever been a franchise that has deviated away from what the original creator laid out, that continued to be successful. What a hack fraud.
Wow! This is an awesome compilation!
Glad you think so, cheers.
Phisicalyse is not a word anyone has ever used
You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.
Thank you working jellyfish, this has made me even more depressed. Star Wars is never going back to its full potential with this rot at its core. The good ol’ days are far behind us
I’m sorry to hear that, mate.
Well! I just subscribed, before even seeing the whole video!
Every time KK and her woke army say they want to make the “force female” they are so disrespectful to Carrie Fischer and Leia, and to Natalie Portman and Padme.
Even tho I only sub to channels i really enjoy i dont watch all of their videos. When I saw this I clicked so fast and just the contrast of the interviews at the start twlls me everything I need to know.
Edit: wait, its just George being a boss and woke star wars being weak. Thanks for showcasing this. We need to call our poor film making
Thank you, this is just an exert from my full video. I have more to say, maybe skip the first 16 min though since you’ve already watched this.
ua-cam.com/video/4xu0xn-hPrc/v-deo.htmlsi=Rt-60CROhxR-bbCg
Thank you.
I hope leslye headland sees this
Star Wars patriarchal? Interesting, this sounds like someone who’s never watched it before because Star Wars has had awesome three dimensional female characters since it first started back in 1977.
Good work
Brilliant
This was hard to watch. It’s so obvious
Honestly could show this to the star wars fans on Twitter and watch them so "NO tHaS NooT rIGhT yYou MisS HEaRd It" lol this proves how far we gone down with the care of amking a star wars product. Side note still fantastic video
Thanks, I’ve already had several folk claim I’ve used Headland’s quotes out of context. I subsequently linked all of her interviews, but it just proves that there is no pleasing some people.
@workingjellyfish hopefully once Kathleen Kennedy is gone in 2025 (hopefully they don't give her a new contract) we should see a restart of starwars written by real fans that don't want to just make a story for them selfs cause star wars is everyones baby not just lesly and her point of view. Now if they had made a show actually about a siths acolyte that yes would be a evil show cause siths that would be cool not what ever the first season was and now they claim the show to be romance as if Ani didn't just do that. Sorry for the long comment but things have to be said and stop this narrative that if we call them out we are homaphobs or hate women but times change and we can clearly see nobody truly care who one love as long as it's not pushed on to everyone around and in everyone's face. Again sorry and again fantastic video
@@noob32153 You don't need to apologise for your Star Wars passion or the length of your comments here, mate.
One of my goals in the Sheltered Harbour is to foster conversations about contemporary media, and that includes opinions like yours. Unlike twitter (which admittedly is less bad since its X rebrand) I seek to foster a space where all opinions are welcome.
I only wish I could spend more time engaging with the residents of the sheltered harbour, but the bloody tides keep dragging me out to sea.
Regardless, I share your hope and thanks for being here.
Great video! ❤ I love It! New subscriber!
Welcome aboard, skipper.
Headland doesn't know how to make movies but she not the one making the movies
This is like comparing Michael Jordan to Kwame Brown 😅
Why did George sell the franchise and why were fans cheering when he did?
because he's very old. do you want the IP tied up in probate for decades? He had to pass it on to someone. It's SAD he couldn't be bothered to put together a better option than Disney. We need a way to properly preserve things like this. Personally I think Disney strong armed him into it somehow, I don't know how, but they forced him to sell it to them. He could have setup a trust and had some way for fans to elect directors or something, something new. Disney has ALWAYS been garbage, and remains so today.
The CEO of Disney, Bob Iger talks about this is his autobiography. He basically wined and dined Lucas into selling it to Disney, promising to protect Lucasfilm and its legacy.
Lucas’ personal reasons were just that, he was getting older and wanted to focus on other things (family and smaller film projects). There are multiple other factors, of course, like the critical reception of the prequels. But that’s the short version.
Well done!!!
4:59 “I have a huge number of men who call me….cont-“ full stop.
Ouf two opposites
They have quite similar faces.
Lego Headland has destroyed some of her casts careers
7:16 Just that single statement is mayor red flag why you should not hire her.
12:40 And she was not faithful to the lore at all.
you couldnt have said it better.
I see what you did there.
They just took star wars and took a dump on it. Disgusting. Someone should be prosecuted for this lol
I have never directed and written a film before, just choose women i liked for a predator to grape…. Ok heres 180 million and good luck
No small feat to destroy a billion dollar franchise and taking the magic out of star wars with woke ideology, shallow characters with no integrity and stories with no substance. Well done.
12:35 Hoping to indoctrinate new fans into what she "loves"? What grudge does she have with Star Wars and George
OoOoOh brother this chick sticks!
When she's talking about true love she's talking about lesbian love which the two sisters were not lesbians and there was no incest in that movie but evil people see evil things and they want to corrupt good
more infuriating than got s8
