‘Star Wars: Acolyte’ Director Says She’d Like to Make Disney-Like Movies that Her Parents Would’ve Allowed Her to See as a Queer Person
HEADLAND: “When I saw ‘Frozen’ as a — as a grown ass woman I — I cried through the entire movie. There was just something about the relationship between the sisters the — the — like the villainization of the classic kind of fairy tale bad — bad guy, you know, the concept of true love being between two sisters and not a heterosexual relationship. Like it just — it just destroyed me completely. And I thought, gosh, you know, I would love to make something like this, that is, you know, for lack of a better term Disney, meaning something that like my parents would have allowed me to see when I was younger as a queer person.”
Reporter: “Gotcha.”
HEADLAND: “But I would have been able to understand as a queer person, and I think I would have had a completely different life. And so I really was inspired by it. I was like, ‘God, I would love to make a story like this.’ And so when I was developing this original idea to pitch to Kathleen, I thought, well, you know, it can’t just be that, you know, when you’re pitching ‘Star Wars’ you have to pull from what you know, George was also interested in. Like, it can’t just be like, ‘Well, I’m referencing —‘ especially if you’re going to set something you know, during the High Republic or end of High Republic into prequels. You don’t have the Skywalker saga, like you can’t reference a character that was created by George and/or Filoni, like you have to create your own new characters.”
