Some ‘The Acolyte’ Supporters Push to Cancel YouTubers Over Alleged “Harassment”

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of highs and lows in the world of entertainment. The saga of Star Wars: The Acolyte has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, filled with more twists and turns than even the galaxy itself.

The television series titled Star Wars: The Acolyte has been making headlines lately, but not in a good way. After broadcasting 8 episodes, the show’s run came to an abrupt end. Lucasfilm and Disney have remained tight-lipped about the reasons for the cancellation. Yet, industry sources hint that the decision may be attributed to the series’ high production costs and lack of audience engagement.

Prior to its debut and unfortunate termination, the show was already a subject of much debate and contention. Considering the state it was in, it wasn’t surprising when it eventually got cancelled.

Fans of Star Wars were disappointed to find that a costly production like The Acolyte was marred by issues such as uneven plot development, weak scripting, subpar acting, and stilted dialogue, as well as a lackluster overall narrative quality. To illustrate this, consider the following line: “We have incomplete matters, assault me with all your might.“.

Although the exciting action scenes and side characters were captivating, the unengaging aspects of the show and unexpected plot twists prevented viewers from fully bonding with or investing time in these supporting characters.

As a devoted fan, I’d rephrase it like this: I, as a fan, find Amandla Stenberg expressing her viewpoint that the show’s cancellers have shown “extreme conservative prejudice, bitter criticism, bias, hostility, and harmful speech,” despite her own history of criticizing fans, quite compelling.

Regardless of one’s stance on Stenberg’s claims, personal attacks are never acceptable. It’s particularly strange and troubling when such attacks are racially motivated in response to criticism of a Star Wars show.

Due to the inability to individually address all negative viewers, supporters of “The Acolyte” have shifted their attention towards YouTube channels that critiqued the show. Notably, Mollie Damon from the renowned YouTube channel and podcast Star Wars Explained has spearheaded a counter-response against the backlash by urging mass reporting of channels that frequently criticized the series.

In a recent statement, Damon alleged that popular YouTube channels like Geeks + Gamers, RK Outpost, Nerdrotic, and Star Wars Theory were making racist attacks against marginalized actors, without presenting any concrete proof to support these claims. Despite the lack of evidence, she took it upon herself to report these channels to YouTube, acknowledging that her actions could potentially be seen as libelous.

In spite of this, following the confession by her followers that they had reported those YouTube channels without justification, a representative from YouTube declared that there was insufficient reason to impose any action on those specific channels.

Concerning the Star Wars Theory channel, it’s one example among many unfounded attacks directed at the YouTube content creator. Following the debut of The Acolyte, this channel was subjected to death threats from certain fans of the show after they took issue with the critique towards Wookieepedia. Due to the dissemination of misinformation, harassment experienced by the YouTuber and his team, and the resulting damage to his professional reputation, he found himself contemplating legal measures.
