Shame the article writer is grifter hack with zero media literacy
Only view it for Headlands quotes
“That’s a good question,” replied the showrunner. “I haven’t been following the coverage of the show enough to really answer that. I did hear that there was a bit of a dust up in terms of the girls stepping on Anakin’s creation storyline, which I had mixed feelings about.”
“It’s probably for another deep dive to kind of talk about that,” she told Walsh. “I would say that you might be missing the forest for the trees in starting an argument about that, instead of seeing that this is a power that could have existed in the world way before Anakin. And that power was being pursued by someone. So it’s not an issue of ‘paying attention to,’ but I did hear about that, and I just think people aren’t taking into account the era that we’re in.”```“It just seemed to me any power like that that does not belong to one faction,” explained the former assistant to Harvey Weinstein. “It is not something that Aniseya was born with either. It’s a power that belongs to the Force. And that it’s up to the practitioner to be able to understand and figure out and pull apart how do you harness that particular power.”

given the author brings up weinstien for no reason, absolutely
Literally anything that isn't a direct quote is pure ass lmao
lean shard
i have my own thoughts about the weinstien thing
people only bring it up because either
they have no other criticism of her
the only other criticism of her that they have is basically homophobic and they dont wanna say that
besides, its extremely unprofessional

given the author brings up weinstien for no reason, absolutely
I was wondering why they did that. I'm surprised they stayed so neutral about the whole thing.

Of course it's not something she's talked about so don't take it as fact

Least funny tik tok I've watched in months

shit like what he did would be kept explicitly off the books and away from anyone else

Claiming she didnt see anything for 6 years lmao

Damn it's almost like an abuser wouldn't want the person closest to his affairs to know he's diddling kids
That would never happen!
hot parrot
so deseperate to defend your slop
mint orbit
Nobody KNEW
mint orbit
So desperate to attack a show that you attack their previous jobs
Throw around huge accusations
What a scumbag
hot parrot
She is an opportunist hack who leveraged her position to secure her job
Its so fucking obvious
Even more with the quality of acolyte

When did I defend acolyte in this conversation you little snowflake fuck

Okay grifter

Lets agree to disagree
hot parrot
Yeah everybody that disagree with you is a griftzr
mint orbit
No just you
hot parrot
You right carter
mint orbit
I hope I do make you feel embarrassed because clearly you're never gonna feel any
Honestly maybe if you get a false accusation of that level, you'd realise how embarrassed your mother would be that you made those accusations
hot parrot
You have actors and movie professionnal who had the creeps over a 4 min interaction with harvey but that girl worked for 6 years with him.
mint orbit
Don't you still glaze trump over Biden despite the many many pictures of him with Epstein lol
hot parrot
And she dare say « i didnt ser anything »
mint orbit
Where is the consistency
lean shard
ok but if she knew
would she not have been tried as an accessory?
mint orbit
You have actors and movie professionnal who had the creeps over a 4 min interact...
A lot of people worked with him for that long and came out and said they never knew
hot parrot
Nobody was tried as an accessory otherwise we would have to shutdown hollywood as a whole

dont look up which company helped produce tye LoTR trilogy

Leslie clearly ignored everything for the sake of her career

Harvey still had talent for producing great movies.
Despite « everything »

That's
Exactly how he got away with it
hot parrot
He was also a bully and very well connected
Using former mossad agent and shit
Bro was a menace
lean shard
bro thinks that harvey just went "lesley, book 7pm for the 4 actresses i want to fuck"
lean shard
if that was true he would've been tried like 15-2p years ago
hidden lake
if that was true he would've been tried like 15-2p years ago
You overestimate the justice system
hot parrot
Bcs you underestimate the level of corruption in los angeles
Between media, producer and civil powers
Hollywood used to be 50% mafia at some point
mint orbit
Yeah that's why you should start forming conspiracy theories and accusations that ruin lives
Fucking GENIUS
lean shard
guilty until proven innocent mindset
hot parrot
Conspiracy theories lmaoo
mint orbit
guilty until proven innocent mindset
Frrrr
She CLEARLY did this thing despite no hard evidence
hot parrot
107 testimonies of sexual assault
17 testimonies of r*pe
"bro she is innocent"
"how could she know"
i swear , its because of people like you that we will never get rid of this kind of scum
Former colleagues and collaborators of Weinstein told reporters that these activities were enabled by employees, associates and agents who set up these meetings, as well as lawyers and publicists who suppressed complaints with payments and threats.
She wasn't a 3 month intern. She worked there for S I X Y E A R S
mint orbit
"bro she is innocent"
Didn't say that
mint orbit
"how could she know"
Never happened
You're so fucking desperate that you keep telling me things about Harvey that I already know
As if that changes a single thing about the scumbag accusations you're making without evidence on someone else
mint orbit
So you're gonna stop supporting Trump in any way too right? Because scum like this can't be allowed to exist? Because he was complacent?
But he knew them for years!
So many reports!
mint orbit
Fuck knows but you have done

yeah cool for the viewing figures
we will see how s2 goes
bcs we still waiting on sequel content right
since it was a success
mint orbit
bcs we still waiting on sequel content right
No not really
Don't think anybody is. That tends to happen when you fully encapsulated the story
NR is still being explored a lot for pre sequels

white kindle
dude
I am getting second-hand embarrassment from whatz talking about the Harvey Weinstein situation
white kindle
that reminds me of something someone in another server said
when theorising about stuff
where's the evidence that she knew about Weinstein?
mint orbit
So far all we have a first person testimonial that they saw nothing of that kind
white kindle
https://youtu.be/mDh4xeI-4KQ?si=htnfL-pwcChjwrbg
this doesn't say shit about Leslie
white kindle
So far all we have a first person testimonial that they saw nothing of that kind
from Headland?
mint orbit
Yup
white kindle
and I assume her testimony was under oath?
mint orbit
Lol no
pseudo blade
where's the evidence that she knew about Weinstein?
bro everyone knew about Weinstein
it was an open secret
mint orbit
bro everyone knew about Weinstein
it was an open secret
Yet again, everybody "knew" but nobody KNEW
People joked about Bill Cosbys antics before
Did anybody know for sure? Plenty still didn't believe until it went public public
white kindle
bro everyone knew about Weinstein
it was an open secret
And where's the proof in that?
The first time he was accused of SA was 2017.
pseudo blade
And where's the proof in that?
the sheer volume of stories from people throughout the industry
from the 90s into the 2000s
his reputation as a predator was widely known
this isnt news
hell even carrie fisher told stories about threatening him over an assult on someone she knew
white kindle
So far all we have a first person testimonial that they saw nothing of that kind
There's this here
white kindle
Wdym?
Headland has insisted she was never physically assaulted by Weinstein, nor did she ever witness any incidents; she didn't exactly have a pleasant time at Miramax, however.
https://screenrant.com/star-wars-the-acolyte-leslye-headland-controversial/
pseudo blade
you dont have to witness incidents to know about Weinstein lmao
especially if she was in his working circle
everyone knew he was a predator they just dealt with it bc that was the industry and he was a very powerful player in Hollywood
white kindle
Itd be like common knowledge
What do you mean by this?
turbid solar

turbid solar
Common knowledge that weinsteins a creep

Wasn't it common knowledge?

Assuming this clip was from 2005
hot parrot
Nvm
Its pointless
I just read the early comments you made
You dont want to hear anything
hot parrot
Bcs there is nothign to engage
It was a open secret
She is guilty
End of the debate
mint orbit
Which I literally admitted to with my first ever words in the conversation
And multiple times
Exhausting clown
hot parrot
Alright good !
mint orbit
She is guilty
LOL
mint orbit
He's still trying to prove that the industry "knew"
But is unable to differentiate between "knew" and KNEW FOR A FACT
There is a big difference. If there wasn't a big difference then lie detectors would be usable in court.
I've also provided the argument that quite a few actors and other huge roles that have said how shocked they were and that they never knew and that he never brought up anything even close to that
It's crazy to me you could understand how much he's a crazy good manipulator and not think it's a possibility that he manipulated what Leslie saw
hot parrot
You have an entire wikipedia page dedicated to the case explaining the network weinstein used over the years to cover himself. From hollywood insiders such as agents, actors, producer to external agent such as former mossad agent who pressured accusers and silenced witnesses
Like Dominique Strauss-Khan
Or that british pedophile
Jimmy orville ?
Everybody knew for a FACT the monster he was
Thats why Ricky Gervais dunked on them so hard
If at least Leslie had to the ball to say « yeah i saw some thing but i was just an assistant with no power to do anything and i was afraid » at least that would have been understandable.
But lying to your teeth like that
« I didnt see anything »
Yeah okay
« I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING »
mint orbit
I appreciate the elaboration and sources, as it fleshes out your argument more but you still refuse to address the actual retort
There is also evidence of people having any and all knowledge of this having been hidden from them. Do you understand how perfect an alibi is that your assistant not knowing anything is?
Why would a master manipulator NOT consider that?
hot parrot
If we were talking about someone who worked from time to time with him or some outsider from Miramax. Yeah we could argue about what that person could really know.
She was his personnal assistant for 6 years. I mean, seeing the amount of victims. It is near impossible for her to not have seen anything.
The same case could be made about Roger Ailes from Fox News. Everybody that worked with him knew.
But he was protected by Murdoch because of the excellent results of Fox News. The same way Weinstein was protected by his reputation, connections, money and the enabling of his close coworkers such as Tarantino or famous actress that were fine with the « deal »
cough cough jennifer lawrence
mint orbit
If I give you ground and admit there's a high likelihood (higher than almost anyone else that we know of rn), will you give me ground that the legal system exists for a reason and you cannot say for certainty until there is a conviction
hot parrot
No ofc
mint orbit
Also as a side note, I've seen pretty crazy theories that trump got Epstein killed to protect his presidency lol
hot parrot
No
hot parrot
Im pretty sure Epstein was likely a mossad asset used to blackmail famous people
He wasnt on any "side"
just cultivating relations
hot parrot
It's just infuriating to see Disney pushing that girl while trying to give lesson about patriachy bad
mint orbit
I still think Cara was justified, but it does make it all look kinda silly lol
hot parrot
Yeah exactly
and on the other side cara get fired for some out of touch tweet
i mean come on
mint orbit
It's literally just Disney execs trying to overpush diversity. I will continue to defend that almost every one else in the chain doesn't give a shit like the execs do though
mint orbit
and on the other side cara get fired for some out of touch tweet
It's more that she wouldn't stop I reckon
Disney could plausible deniability but she just kept rage baiting
mint orbit
I took it as a W anyway because she's an awful actor
hot parrot
yeah true

Exactly this. He had it covered, so whether people entirely knew is up for debate.
hot parrot
I really hope you never work closely to a toxic individual
You'll see if you are really clueless to his behavior
white kindle
There's no solid evidence that she knew.
Sure, it's likely that she did, but given how much of a manipulator he was (based on what I've heard), I wouldn't be surprised if she somehow didn't.
white kindle
You'll see if you are really clueless to his behavior
Not really clueless; just going off of what I see here.
hot parrot
harvey throttled someone. Harvey called an employee a fucking moron. Harvey threw the shoes, the book, the phone, the eggs. Harvey went to work with his shirt on inside-out and no one had the courage to tell him. If you fucking say anything to him, the assistant said to the other assistant, I’m dead.
“I always thought it was interesting that a lot of people who left Miramax either ended up running shit in Hollywood or became social workers,”
REALLY WONDER WHAT LESLIE CHOOSED 😉
mint orbit
I really hope you never work closely to a toxic individual
There's a reason I've had many jobs
I cannot and will not keep my mouth shut
hot parrot
good man
mint orbit
I would be the first to get black listed from Hollywood lmao
I'm also just gonna use this a segue in to massive respect for Terry Crews calling the bullshit out immediately
And I'm beyond happy his career seems to have survived
If every actor did this, eventually it wouldn't work anymore
white kindle
lol
hot parrot
Yeah but it's a very complex situation bcs more than often these toxic guys actually have talent. I think that was the issue at Ubisoft. Their biggest scumbag was actually the brain power behind their most successfull franchises
As an executive producer, Harvey has a hell of a run
obsidian basin
genuinely hope the boys pulls through with its finale man
mint orbit
@hot parrot
If Leslie is #1 likely, he's looking like a very profitable prediction for #2
ivory sedge
I'm worried that the finale is either gonna be rushed or feel convoluted, Im hoping for a satisfying conclusion
Honestly if rather some stuff is open ended for a chance of a s2
mint orbit
Me too
ivory sedge
Like don't kill everyone please 😭🙏🙏
mint orbit
If it's a solid mystery landing and wraps up plot threads then imma call it a 7 for me
If not.. 6
ivory sedge
Yeah I'm hoping to end with a 7
Fun, interesting watch but could've had much better presentation and execution

on an assumption, they dont train magic until they're adults/teenagers

languid ice
Inb4 to see what bs the "how did the jedi not know the sith were coming back????" Mfs make up
mortal reef
sol died before he could reveal that Qimir is/was sith, and he was more interested in the force vergence on brendok, so i doubt he would've even thought it necessary in the first place
languid ice
Now to see if disney even lets them make a s2
obsidian basin
bleeding the kyber crystal that killed your mother and using it for yourself is pretty metal
interesting turn of events, sol was done dirty 😔
i genuinely wasn’t very interested in mae or osha until the fucking finale lmao, them finally being okay with being separate people somehow made them more interesting and/or likeable for me
languid ice
So real
obsidian basin
also do we have any other instances of crystals bleeding like that in live action or animation? or any detailed descriptions of a kyber crystal being bled? wondering if that blue to red transformation is canon/identical to how all other kyber crystals bleed
mortal reef
I don't think we've seen a kyber bled while the blade was active before
vernal scaffold
also do we have any other instances of crystals bleeding like that in live actio...
Jedi survivor has a saber bleeding scene
But the saber was inactive yeah
Just the crystal
mortal reef
I don't think we've seen a kyber bled *while* the blade was active before
I mean, 14yo me came up with something exactly like that during my cringe phase
obsidian basin
😭😭😭
obsidian basin
I mean, 14yo me came up with something exactly like that during my cringe phase
me switching blade colours for my many personalities and their own individual colours
mortal reef
and the way the crystal was bled does track with how the methods been described
languid ice
Yeah its always been while inactive
mortal reef
like the crystal is practically watching the person it chose to wield it have the life choked out of him, while being held by the person force choking him, and in proximity to a force vergence
obsidian basin
so acolyte is either creating lore or breaking lore
can’t wait for the videos crying regardless
languid ice
so acolyte is either creating lore or breaking lore
just new lore
mortal reef
so acolyte is either creating lore or breaking lore
creating, and reinforcing the lore from the Vader comics
vernal scaffold
I didnt enjoy the show too much unfortunately
mortal reef
Fair
obsidian basin
and the way the crystal was bled does track with how the methods been described
yeah the crystal itself changing colour i’ve seen before somewhere, but i’ve never seen the blade itself change like that which is why i was curious and asked about it here
when i saw the crystal go from red to blue i expected the blade to be red upon ignition, since, red crystal? but dramatics i guess
obsidian basin
the blade showing the change while ignited is a novel thing afaik
something taken out of a star wars novel?
mortal reef
novel as in new
obsidian basin
ah okay
languid ice
I mean she ignated the saber while the krystal was transforming
If she waited like 10secs it would have been immediately red
obsidian basin
perhaps i rewatch, i assumed it went completely red
mortal reef
If she waited like 10secs it would have been immediately red
I think her turning the blade on Qimir completed the transformation, it stopped halfway after Sol died
obsidian basin
If she waited like 10secs it would have been immediately red
bro got the timing down and everything
he knows
languid ice
yeye we do be like that
mortal reef
the crystal does fight for its life during a bleeding iirc
obsidian basin
so perhaps that blue to red shift was the crystal dying
languid ice
it kinda is
mortal reef
yeah
obsidian basin
nice
languid ice
Kyber crystals are pretty much alive
obsidian basin
correct
languid ice
From a certain point of view
mortal reef
that's why I'm referring to the crystal as something that can react

Lol wojak-pointing and EU bait aside, I'm surprised Plagueis is shown to be older here
This is set 100 years before TPM, meaning Plagueis is easily approaching 200 years old at the time of his death
fickle tide
velvet aspen
I fuckin called it 😂. Now can we stop pretending this show doesn't fuck up the chosen one canon? Anakin was the force lashing back at plagueis and Palpatine for trying to create life but the force was totally cool with these witches doing it first. AND plagueis is creeping in the shadows and saw them doing it all?
Come on man 😂
I tried to give this show a chance but the exact thing I was afraid of happened. 😣
white kindle
Idk how I feel about that episode
There were some cool parts but also some rather meh bits
Though the duel between Qimir and Sol was fkin peak!
I wish it could've gone on for longer
And there seemed to be a reference to Ani vs Obi in it
Plagueis!!!
And Yoda for absolutely no reason
velvet aspen
Though the duel between Qimir and Sol was fkin peak!
Yea man but the prequel stuff makes no sense now. Darth Vader, the chosen one , struggles to bleed a kyber crystal but osha mad, osha smash so insta bleed???? Not to mention the way it ended.
velvet aspen
This whole time, so many people saying that dissenters were catastrophizing and whatnot about the show before anything happened but we were right lol! It ended the way a lot of us predicted. Upending the chosen one canon nonsensically.

That Anakin who is the chosen one, struggles to bleed his crystal and this chick does it cause she's mad
velvet aspen
Extreme negative emotions = crystal bleed
Nope. Read the Vader comic
velvet aspen
That's not how it works because that comic is still canon
white kindle
"Bleeding was accomplished by pouring rage, hate, fear and pain into a kyber crystal by means of the dark side of the Force, until the crystal changed, resulting in the crimson-bladed lightsabers associated exclusively with dark side adepts."
That's literally how it works
velvet aspen
It's a long story so I'm oversimplifying, but Vader goes to bleed his crystal and it rebounds on him. Then later he succeeded but it wasn't easy.
white kindle
And it had been for the longest time

The point is that trying to do it intentionally was super hard for force Jesus, but this girl who took a long break from the force did it accidentally

How does that make the Acolyte's crystal bleeding non canon?
velvet aspen
I didn't say non canon. I said inconsistent. It's obviously canon because it's a Disney property so by definition (unfortunately) it's canon
white kindle
We have seen several cases of it in canon
So is the comic
When was the comic made?
velvet aspen
Yea man, hence me choosing the word inconsistent. I think you're missing my point. How did some random kid who hadn't trained in a long time accidentally bleed a crystal and Vader had to endure an alternate timeline in his head among other things to do it intentionally?
white kindle
Hmmm
I'm not sure
Ig that is a bit weird
It doesn't entirely go against existing canon as she was "pouring her negative emotions" into the saber.

Because it's vader??
You know, the chosen one of the force
Of course he's gonna get light side visions
It'll be far easier for literally any other darksider because they don't hold as important a position in the Force
velvet aspen
Of course he's gonna get light side visions
But osha wasn't a regular dark sider either remember?
lucid glen
If bleeding a crystal was as difficult as you claim, most sith wouldn't be able to do it
lucid glen
But osha wasn't a regular dark sider either remember?
Her birth is irrelevant to this
white kindle
I'm thinking the reason she bled it by accident was because she was feeling such strong emotions that it impacted her saber.
Osha still has the force
white kindle
But osha wasn't a regular dark sider either remember?
Nor was Vader at the time he bled his crystal
lucid glen
How??? 😂 Oh come on
You're falsely equating vader and osha because they happen to have similar birth circumstances. Crystal bleeding has nothing to do with that. Crystal bleeding is ONLY to do with your connection to the dark side
Vader being the chosen one meant he experienced visions others wouldn't
white kindle
You're falsely equating vader and osha because they happen to have similar birth...
Exactly
velvet aspen
You're falsely equating vader and osha because they happen to have similar birth...
Yea and I'd say that at the point in the comic, Vader had a way closer tie to the dark side
Osha put on a helmet and got upset.
Vader killed kids and overthrew a government

Again you missed my point. Even after the vision it still wasn't so easy.
It's really not
white kindle
Osha found out her mother was killed by the person she has looked up to for her whole life. Finding out something like that is going to generate a lot of negative emotions.
velvet aspen
Osha found out her mother was killed by the person she has looked up to for her ...
More than killing kids and your wife?
white kindle
It's really not
It is. We've seen several cases in canon where it has been easy.
white kindle
More than killing kids and your wife?
People feel emotions at different levels
velvet aspen
Osha is a vergence in the force just like Anakin according to the show. So they have more in common than their birth if we follow where the show is leading us
lucid glen
Again you missed my point. Even after the vision it still wasn't so easy.
Lol we don't know the circumstances of the crystal. If you think about it for more than 5 seconds, the reason why it wasn't easy after the visions is for dramatic effect on behalf of the writers. The LORE reason is up to interpretation, such as the crystal was innately resisting vader or because infil'a had a specially powerful crystal
velvet aspen
Y'all are doing some mental gymnastics just to avoid admitting that this show has contradicted several points in established canon. Even post Disney

Qimir still great tho

The plagueis cameo anyway did serve some purpose. I didn't really give a shit about him, it was for like 5 seconds so it doesn't matter to me
hot parrot
Yeah thats why it was useless. It's just "hey look its plagueis !"
lucid glen
The purpose of his cameo being, to act as foreshadowing and set up some possible storylines if there ever is a season 2
hot parrot
Hell of a risk tho
lucid glen
Plus, to get fans more excited for a possible season 2. Which makes sense, considering how people have been crapping all over the show
hot parrot
I would rather have some venestra and qimir backstory than that cameo

I don't get it, obviously backstories being fleshed out achieves more than a 5 second cameo but they are two vastly different things

HEADLAND: "George Lucas was inspired by so many different films, and also in Clone Wars he was. There are whole episodes that are based on films that he loves, like The Wrong Jedi is based on The Wrong Man. He was so in clearly in love with film. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Star Wars is pastiche, but there's definitely an element of that within the Star Wars visual vocabulary. So again, I'm here, I am doing what I never thought would happen. I'm doing something impossible. I'm doing something that, like, 10 people have done, and I was like, “I would like to explore the cinematic and literary references that I like.”
"With Osha and The Stranger’s relationship, Bram Stoker's Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola — which I know is different from the book — that film is one of my favorite films. Again, it was to have someone that was so scary, to have somebody that we clearly see is a bad guy, and he's doing bad things, and Lucy is dying, and then to have this deep connection with Mina, where you see a totally different side of him. One of the things that really works about that movie is that there is this past life, soulmate, reincarnation idea for this character that has been alive for centuries, and he is just shocked to find her Actually, in earlier drafts, The Stranger had a line from that movie, which is, “I have crossed oceans of time to find you.” A lot of Gothic romances were referenced — Jane Eyre, Rochester and sort of the Byronic hero for those two."
