The Acolyte is The Last Jedi all over again. That is, the media is blaming "racist, bigoted, homophobic, alt-right chuds" aka white male Star Wars fans for forcing Lucasfilm to cancel the series. Except the general public, which consists of more than straight white males, didn't watch it and it cost $180 million. This will get thrown back in fandom's faces for years...
