#Star Wars: The Acolyte

Look, I was already on The Acolyte hype train but I'm so excited that it's the first Star Wars project to have a nonbinary lead and trans women in its cast and crew. And! For once! I'm actually decently confident that it'll be good!

Ohhhhh boy. I was already iffy on the concept of "The Acolyte" but this is really making me ..... not okay.

To be completely honest, I'm still not sure if I'm going to watch it or not. The Ahsoka show broke me when it comes to Disney Star Wars, and everything that Leslie Headland has been saying since the announcement of The Acolyte has only reinforced that opinion. Which kills me because this show is, on the surface, everything I want.

Months ago, I asked people on Tumblr to design their own Jedi, and this show checks off all my boxes. If I could create my own Jedi, it would be a Jedi investigator with a yellow lightsaber on the tail of some dark Galactic conspiracy. This show was made for me.

But then Leslie keeps talking about how the Jedi are arrogant and "too powerful" (they're not) and "what would an underdog look like during peace time, even if they were the bad guy?" (Girl seriously needs to look up what an underdog is). And the many Star Wars commentators on YouTube are just exasperated this train of thought by repeating the usual spiel about the Jedi being "too dogmatic" and how "they brought it upon themselves."

And the thing is, I'm totally for showing a flawed Jedi. We have this new character of Yord Fandar, played by Charlie Barnett, who is described as "a Jedi knight and Jedi temple guardian is an overachiever and a rule follower. His need to be by-the-book nature can cloud his judgment." I would totally follow a story of how his need to follow the rules led him astray or something, rather than what I'm sure we're going to get, which is just going to be more of the same anti-Jedi nonsense the fandom is filled with.

Who knows? Maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic and the show will actually be great and not disrespect the Jedi at every opportunity, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

“Confrontation on Caprioril,” by Joe Corroney. “Star Wars: Gamer” Issue #5. July, 2001.

In May of 2002, during Star Wars Celebration II in Anaheim, Jade Crusades interviewed illustrator Joe Corroney who had these memories to share:

There's a funny story about this illustration. All of the other Emperor's Pawns were featured in the Gamer article except Mara Jade, because she was being featured in other Star Wars content at the same time. They didn't want to make a special section in the magazine just for her. I was bummed because I was hoping I'd get to draw her, and I thought, "How am I going to work her into this article?" I talked my art director into the idea of having one of the other Emperor's Pawns battling Mara in an action scene in the beginning. Just so I could draw her, basically! Author Abel Peña and I came up with the idea of having Mara and Lumiya encounter each other on this planet and go at it because they're at odds. So that was how I was able to illustrate Mara even though she wasn't supposed to be in the article at all.

Author Abel Peña recounted his work for the “Star Wars: Gamer” article on Star Wars.com in 2006:

I wrote a short fiction vignette to introduce the article, in which Mara Jade recalls meeting Lumiya for the first time, and their immediate hate for one another. This scenario inspired the cover illustration for the article, “Confrontation on Caprioril,” a story Joe Corroney and I have been dying to tell ever since.

“Mara Jade could barely contain her rage...He said I was the only one, the extension of his will.” So begins the opening vignette for “The Emperor's Pawns.” Originally titled, “Jaded Perceptions,” here appears the first reference to the, at the time, second most famous Emperor's Hand, Roganda Ismaren, who was introduced in the novel Children of the Jedi (1995, Bantam), with which this vignette shares its chronological placement. Mara's recollection of Grand Admiral Thrawn's taunt about additional Emperor's Hands not known to her is from Dark Force Rising (1992, Bantam). The character Lumiya, originally appearing as Shira Brie in the Star Wars comic Star Wars #56, “Coffin in the Clouds” (1982, Marvel Comics) and reprinted in Classic Star Wars: A Long Time Ago Vol. 4 (2003, Dark Horse Comics) reappears here in the Star Wars universe for the first time in many years. Both this confrontation and the second future one alluded to between these two women are new. Mara's residence at the site of the second encounter, however, the planet Caprioril, comes from Dark Force Rising (1992, Bantam).

I also have to say that my main worry with The Acolyte isn't that it's a dark-side oriented show, because who wouldn't want to see how the Sith justified their hatred of the Jedi and the Republic, as long as we're aware that they're ultimately wrong (i.e. Anakin's fall). No, it's the worry that once again we're going to have to paint the jedi as villains because they didn't redo their entire philosophy to accommodate a singular individual.

There's also the fact that the only two dark-siders we see in the trailer are black women. It could be a bait and switch, because we know how modern filmmakers like to be clever, but it carries a particular connotation that the only two potential bad guys we see in the trailer are black women.

That's a deliberate choice.

But once again, maybe I'm reading too much into it. I've been burned too many times by Disney during their reign of Star Wars to be just plain optimistic.
