rocha literally saying " i like the show because i saw mean comments about it so they bad and i like the show so me good"

How dare people have a different opinion to rocha such a clown

Short answer - The Audience is Right and Rocha is Wrong.

Rocha’s “it’s not a hit with fans” regarding Andor is eye-roll inducing.

I’d argue more people watch stuff and move on with their lives over jumping on the internet and talking about it.

Fanbase so toxic that when people who genuinely don't like it, get accused of review bombing. Andor had minority lead characters, strong female characters, a very diverse cast but it was very good and the review scores proved it. As long as it's good, most people don't care about anything else. Forgot to mention there's also a gay relationship between Vel & Cinta. That checks all that boxes yet somehow, it's considered one of the best of Disney Star Wars.

From everything Leslie Headland said, The Acolyte was gonna be a dark, Sith oriented, Drew Karpyshyn styled story. This was gonna be in a show done in the spirit of Kotor and The Old Republic era. This all turned out to be lies. A smoke screen. A desperate attempt by Disney to con people into seeing this show. Because, in reality, this show can best be describes as "cute" or just straight up CW television. Couldn't be more different than what they promised, which obviously makes the disappointment that much greater...

I'm consistently frustrated when I dislike a show bc of bad writing, pacing, acting, etc. then every critique i search for on yt is just whining about "wokeness". My issue isnt inclusion or "virtue signalling" I just want the show to be good, make logical sense, and not destroy canon events that are already beloved by the fanbase. Happy to have you both for a sane critique of the show

Critics get screeners from studios. Ordinary viewers have to pay, that’s why viewers are more critical, because they have parted with their money, critics get to see stuff for free.

The poor reaction to The Acolyte is the culmination of a fanbase that watched Kenobi,BoBF and Asokha.

Rocha is riding for The Acolyte so heavy. Any mention of it this episode has him tossing his glasses and saying something ridiculous like “well the wire had less viewers” or “anakin stinky.”

The main problem with Disney/Lucasfilm is that they don’t care about the original Star Wars fanbase, and have even said as much openly. They are trying to create their own fanbase, who are much younger. But the majority of the money comes from the old school Star Wars fans, their current target audience is kids or teenagers, who have no money. If you had two options open to you, established fanbase, or new fanbase which is a unknown figure. From a business perspective, surely you would go after the money, or target the audience that can make you the most money. But for some reason, Disney keep targeting the smaller audience. They’re weird.

The “audience” reaction is completely mired in a number of factors, including a very online reactionary for the sake of it bloc. However, none of this phenomenon takes place if Star Wars hadn’t been compromised by Disney on the cinematic and mythological level. A fundamental breaking of faith has occurred that hasn’t been restored, regardless of some instances of quality output from Disney. There is no faith that the studio sees Star Wars as anything more than content, when the audience sees it as the most important canon of modern mythology. That breach isn’t going to be fixed until the studio treats it like cinema, not content. That it all matters on the deepest of levels. We are a long way away from that.

Honestly what has Hedlund done to deserve her own SW show? One good tv show should not earn you your own SW project. One should have a pedigree of credits to make a SW anything & thats where Kennedy keeps F'ing up hiring ppl.

Game of Thrones cost HBO around $100 million per season. What did Leslie spend 180 million on??!?!?!?

20:50... I think Andor was very good and Ahsoka did okay for having many (if not the majority) of characters being women. It isn't about gender, it is about writing. Just look at House of the Dragon. The two primary characters were girls and now women, and it is such a good show.

Wow, that opening was impressive. Kristian is a great lip reader and Rocha is a great mimer.

Rocha will just yell at anyone who disagrees what’s the point. This can’t believe dislike a show for whatever reason they like? You don’t get to tell people ‘sorry you’re not allowed to dislike for x reason’. Ie: any comments about China hiding Chadwick’s face in black panther photos? Or blue Aerial?
