“I have listened to ForceCenter for many years but their recent coverage of Star Wars The Acolyte has been rather odious. The show has serious flaws from blatantly bad acting, writing, continuity errors to showcasing murdering twins whom the show wants you to sympathize with. Try and show them as misunderstood and even justified in their killing of others. Indeed, giving one of the murdering twins a heroic ending complete with falling in love with another evil person and hold hands while watching the sun set. Not to mention the treatment of the Jedi in the show which shows them in the worst light possible. That’s the whole point of the show you see, that the traditional good guys aren’t so good while evil ones may be justified in their actions. All this in a Star Wars show? So how does ForceCenter react to all the criticism of the show, by barely acknowledging any of it and instead constantly praising Lucasfilm but especially the show creator Leslye Headland. Using phrases such as LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT to EVERYTHING THEY DID WAS JUST SO WONDERFUL. All three hosts have devolved into constantly being apologists for Leslye Headland, trying to explain away any and all criticism fans have while simultaneously acting like fans are being mean or over critical. Maybe will listen again when they adopt a more honest and open discussion of Star Wars instead of nauseating pandering to Hollywood producers and large media corporations.”
