Not that surprising.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Maybe it should have been a made for streaming film. Plot felt tissue paper thin over multiple episodes.

They had some good ideas (and a lot of very bad ones lol) but it felt like a first draft that got green lit and then never revised. The writing was so very bad. Also, at 180 million I have to imagine there was some embezzlement going on :D

Seems odd that Disney hasn't released anything official yet about it being cancelled. It is all traced back to one Deadline article that only names "sources" for the information. It could very well be true, but it just seems odd. Especially when tie-in books, comics, and the like were just announced at D23.  :hmm:

That has been known, not officially I guess, for months

I am not sure where they would have taken the story without having to rewrite the History of the High Republic, in the style of Oliver Stone.

Maybe that was the ChatGPT prompt the script writers used?

I know almost nothing about The Acolyte. I randomly watched a YT video about an elevator door that was presented as stupid, and if the video didn't lie it did seem a bit silly.

Still no word from Disney, I don't think. If it was fake newsTM you'd think there'd be a rebuttal. As for the books and comics, those are much cheaper and less scrutinized.

If that bothers you wait until you get to the magical fire in SW :ph34r:

Pretty pumped. I'm going to see The Empire Strips Back tonight. They're an Australian based internationally touring burlesque trope that does a Star Wars themed show. I've been following them for years hoping they'd make it locally and they finally have! I plan on rocking a Naboo Handmaiden look when I go tonight. :cool:

Nice :)
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
