Showrunner Leslye Headland's newest addition to the Star Wars universe in the form of The Acolyte, also known as the "gayest Star Wars ever," also features "lesbian space witch covens" who are able to immaculately conceive babies. Not only is this causing concern for being off canon, but it's a further infiltration of woke identity politics into the nerd universe of Star Wars.
A clip from the coven circulated on social media with blame being heaped on Disney head Kathleen Kennedy, the showrunner Headland, and others. The clip shows a group of women under cloak of darkness performing some kind of ritual where they praise the "power of one, the power of two" and "the power of many."
The new addition to the story changes the status of the concept of midichlorians, which in plentiful supply in one's blood give them the ability to wield the Force. The presence of an abnormally high number of midichlorians is what makes Anakin Skywalker, who grows up to be Darth Vader, so special when he is encountered by Jedi Master Qui-Gon. Anakin was also an immaculate conception by his mother on the desert planet Tatooine.
Acolyte Episode 3, a prequel some 100 years prior to the beginning of George Lucas' space opera, reveals that Anakin was not the first child to have been conceived without the act of reproduction in the Star Wars universe, which is a brand new concept and one that many are taking issue with. Twins Osha and Mae learn that they were "created" by the head of the coven and "carried" by another woman within the group.
In a recent interview with Headland and one of the stars of the new series Amandla Stenberg, Headland was asked about the sexual orientation of the series. "I wanna ask you about this," The Wrap's Drew Taylor began, "because this is arguably the gayest Star Wars yet by a considerable margin."
Headland and Stenberg laughed. "People have told me that it's the gayest Star Wars," Headland said, "and frankly I am into it."
