Part 3/7:
A central discussion point has been the cancellation of The Acolyte, a show that was heavily promoted as part of Disney’s efforts to innovate and diversify the Star Wars brand.

His admissions strike a reflective tone, as they come after a litany of criticism surrounding the show's narrative choices, including its female-focused storyline and LGBTQ elements.
