Paul Duncan: It is clear that you had precise ideas from the very beginning. George Lucas: There was no room for me to put the backstory in those films in an organic way. Also, if I had started talking about the backstory, the Whills, and the midi-chlorians, and all that kind of stuff in Star Wars, people would have gone "Oh my God!" and backed off. It wasn't until Jedi came out that I realized I'd lost the tragedy of Darth Vader. In Star Wars, it's set up as "What is that guy? Is he a monster? Is it a robot?" They didn't know what he was. Over the three films his story dissipated. He was the chosen one of the prophecy, yet the irony was lost that it was the son bringing humanity back to the father. It wasn't clear. I felt the story of Anakin Skywalker had enough pathos and enough of a story to enrich the prequels: how Anakin became a Jedi; how he learned to use the Force, and midi-chlorians; this is where Obi-Wan came from; this is what their relationship was; how Anakin turned into Darth Vader. When I told Fox the next film is about how Darth Vader got to be Darth Vader they got all excited. I told them, "in the first movie, he's 10 years old." Fox, and also people at Lucasfilm, said, "You're going to destroy the franchise; you're going to destroy everything! You can't do it; this is terrible!" Everybody was upset, and I thought, "This is why I own the films, and I own the company, because if I didn't, this movie would never get made." If I went to a studio with this story, it never would have existed. I know everybody wants to have Darth Vader in his black suit with his lightsaber, but the whole point of it is: how does this little kid, who has good intentions, is just like us, go wrong and become Darth Vader? And the second point of the story is: how does a democracy become a dictatorship? I told people at Lucasfilm that they're going to have to face the reality that I'm making a movie that nobody wants to see, but I want to tell that story. I'm more interested in telling the story than I am in just doing a franchise where you tell the same story over and over again. -- from The Star Wars Archives, Episodes I - III, 1999-2005

kill the narrative that The Acolyte didnt perform well compared to other Disney shows. The other shows were based on established characters and already had a dedicated fanbase and audience to start with. In contrast The Acolyte introduced us to a completely new era of Star Wars in live action with new original characters. And against all odds, it still performed well. Don’t be misled - The Acolyte is not a failed project. The real failure lies in Disney's reluctance to take risks and allow original ideas to flourish.

[darth-rist]

Plus that much quoted graph everybody’s showing around, where the Acolyte seems to be lagging way behind, explicitly mentions that the other shows’ viewership was measured over like, 12 weeks. The acolyte had FIVE

I’m sorry but what kinda force vibes was Osha giving off to have TWO men running after her (for different reasons) like Sol saw Osha and Mae and started suffering from late-stage baby fever and also became homocidal like baby what happened to common sense and Qimir upon meeting Osha was just unnecessarily horny like why r u in her face you harlot, why r u giving her the option to kill you? Why did both of you just give her that option???

"would you ever consider" he asks, like a skinny nerdy freshman asking a hot senior girl to prom

……….how does a girl get into the oshamir discord server round these parts?

The Acolyte Fandom right now

[the-reylo-void]

I am going to keep writing Oshamir out of pure fucking spite.

[darth-rist]

Just so u know I am NOT going to stop writing fic for them. If Disney won’t use the gold Leslye put in their hand I will

[darth-rist]

I am cancelling my Disney+ subscription as we speak

[darth-rist]

Finished the fic!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

We get Mae's betrayal, and Qimir finding Osha allll in one go! Qimir does a lot of monologuing, you have been warned.

[ramavoite]

[your-mums-nuts]

He served dark overlord in episode five and then he served linen in episode 6

[septemberlikeastorm]

still not over osha waking up to the space crockpot already space crockpot-ing. qimir the literal mass murderer tiptoed around his own home chopping space potatoes as quietly as possible. anytime a space onion sizzled he'd dart a quick look to where osha lay tucked in his bed to make sure she's still asleep

& then. & then!!!! before he went outside to curl up like a roly poly behind a boulder & wait to enact Operation Hoedown Throwdown he STILL thought to retrieve mae's bag & put it in a really conspicuous place so that osha, waking up in an unfamiliar place after having watched her companions get cut down like the amazon rainforest, would at least feel a Little more secure having a) clothes that cover her whole body & b) a dagger to clutch

i have said it before & i will say it again, this isn't even about the duality of man anymore it's about the plurality. my boy builds coffins but he does it in the build-a-bear workshop do you understand

i love it when characters are unfair, actually. i love it when they’re uncouth and cranky and hypocritical, i love it when they have cognitive dissonances, i love it when they make good and bad choices for the wrong reasons. i love when they’re short to anger and hard to understand. i love it when they’ve destroyed themselves for nothing but can’t even see either part of it yet. i love it when they’re messy and selfish and bad at communicating. i love it when they get convinced of their own ego and stuck in a feedback loop regarding their own warped paranoia. i love it when characters actively make their lives unknowingly harder for themselves. i love it when characters don’t know they’re in a story. i love it when characters are like real people

1.02 // 1.06 // 1.08 The Stranger vs. Sol on recognizing and differentiating Osha and Mae

[fluffycakesistainted]

#there's something about sol's paternalistic attachment to osha leading him to tunnel vision when it comes to her#mae as an extension of osha#mae as the version that went wrong; corrupted;#whereas the stranger recognises and treats them as different people almost right away#and there is something so compelling to that#that even the person who claims to love you (and does love you in his own way) struggles to even recognise you#and will always see you as that little girl on brendok who needs saving#the stranger sees the parts of her that were unwanted; acknowledges her grief and anger and trauma#whereas the jedi and by extension sol saw that as a threat (via windfalling)

#the predator cannot accept the duality of the feminine (via mimir-anoshe)
