After The Cancellation Of "The Acolyte," Amandla Stenberg Called Out The "Vitriol, Prejudice, Hatred, And Hateful Language" Surrounding Show's Cast, Crew, And Creators


"For me, it just became a situation where there was no option but for me to honor my sense of ethics, and my belief system, and my value system while being in this very unique position."

Note: If you want to solely believe that people just didn't like the series because of the writing or changes to Star Wars lore — this is not the post you're looking for because my head's not under the Tatooine sand. Bigotry exists in the Star Wars fandom. It's been well-documented over the last decade.
