A prediction

Amandla Stenberg's character will not be the villain, and Carrie-Ann Moss's character will be. I don't base this on any inside information or any rumors that I've read. It's just a hunch I have. If I'm right, I will demand to be made the President of both Star Wars and Reddit.

Can someone explain to me why there is backlash to the trailer?

I don't get it. It looks like a fine show I'll watch the first couple of episodes of, enjoy them, then forget about when it airs and never finish it as I've done with each SW show.

But I'm really not getting all the hate. It is very stupid.

I am also very stupid and need this explained to me like I'm five.

What do you guys think of these notes I jotted down? I really enjoyed trying to draw connections and wanted to share to see if anyone agreed that these ideas could be accurate. Marking as spoiler just in case.

My Theory: A Sith Witchhunt

So according to the show runner, the show is partly inspired by TCW episode where Ahsoka gets framed. My theory: the show will be about a dark side user who murders Jedi for a reason that has nothing to do with the sith. This causes the jedi to become paranoid and go on a witchhunt where everyone accuses each other of being sith. Some are even killed because they are suspected of being sith. Eventually they found out there was no sith. This experience leaves a black mark on the jedi order. That's why in the prequels, the jedi are so reluctant to believe any accusation of there being a sith, as they don't want to repeat what happened.

Yet another Retcon

All the Disney series between Ep 6 and 7, where no Jedi were supposed to be around really (except 2)…. Now have a ton of Jedi everywhere. Every other series has some new Jedi popping up. Still alive. Did order 66 really succeed? Really?

Now a Disney series before ep 1 with sith, which were supposed to be extinct. Really devalues Yoda’s senses and the general messaging that palpatine was this epic unknown sith that rose up (with a mentor of course, but heavily in the shadows). Now it will devalue the “reveal” the palp is a sith.

Just…. Ya know? Feels like everything we know and have been told and have lived in the movies from childhood…. Is being rewritten to create content.

Feels like a shit infomercial. But wait, if you order now, we’ll throw in a dark Jedi and a sith at no extra charge. Order two or more, and we’ll throw in a yellow lightsaber…. Cuz oooo… aaaaah. Tired of blue milk? And of green milk? How about this one planet with…. yellow milk! Boom! Look how creative we are.

Ok, rant over. Please proceed with your day. Thank you for reading to this point if you have. Hakuna Matata.

I hope The Acolyte answers how the Jedi knew about the Rule of Two

At the end of The Phantom Menace Yoda mentions to Windu the Rule of Two. How did they know about it when they thought the Sith were extinct? I really hope they give answer this question. Also, I believe it's great to take this into account when reading comments saying The Acolyte will break canon. I don't answer Twitter comments because I don't want fight with those people hahaha

I think we're being mislead

In the beginning of the trailer the Jedi says close your eyes. Your eyes can mislead you. Then we are shown the main character which everyone assumes will be the sith. But I think we haven't seen the main villain yet. Also does anything think Yoda will appear or Darth plagueis? Or maybe Palpatine

Banished?

Listen, Star Wars is for everyone, I totally buy into that, and everyone should be included.

But it’s just getting kind of weird how some have been banished from the new Star Wars, never to be included again.
