Kamron Pasha (screenwriter and novelist) reported this today (and Doomcock, too) that people within Lucasfilm/Disney had reached out over the last 2 days to break the news.

Cliffs:


- Showrunner Leslye Headland (former Harvey Weinstein assistant) has been abruptly fired from Lucasfilm.

- The Acolyte show, which was likely going to be the biggest abomination Disney SW has produced, has been 'soft canceled' which means the show will basically never get officially 'killed' but that Disney will just never finish it and let the show just wither away out of the public consciousness and never get made (like the Ryan Johnson trilogy that will never get made).

- Headland had no clue what she was doing. She apparently only shot 3 short films to put together as a sizzle reel for publicity. Could not get funding to make $100M+ show.

- Writers strike was going to move prouction to London, but no proof Headland is in England working on the project.

Livestream discussing matter right now:

One thing I notice about these wokesters is that they can never seem to produce anything worthwhile.

Despite claiming to be true believers It's like they leverage their wokeness for positions and pay they can't earn otherwise and so their actual goal is to simply steal as much money as they can until they get caught or outed as useless.

Kennedy recently said that Star Wars is going to be female centric and highlighted this project as an example if I recall

One can only hope. That dumb broad said it was misogynistic to just assume that Star Wars was George Lucas’s universe

The fact that they were even considering giving her a show is INSANE

In an interview, she said that they set the Acolyte in the high republic so that people wouldn't say shite about the way they wanted to build "their" Star Wars universe. This was going to be a woke piece of shite. The high republic comic has a character that is a boulder or something stupid.
