The Disney+ series is leaning into an unapologetically horny part of the fandom, while also expanding the lore in fascinating ways
The Acolyte , much like its main characters, resists definition and placement in Star Wars ’ decades-long legacy, and that is its biggest strength. The Disney+ series ticks many boxes that the more traditional, masculine fans of the franchise have been begging for for years while also aggressively and unapologetically catering to the femme side of fandom with a hot bad guy and heaps of sexual tension. We’ve never seen anything like this in Star Wars media before, and it’s breaking some brains.
The latest episode, titled “Teach / Corrupt,” leans heavily into the raucous and raunchy shipping side of Star Wars, in which the internet daydreams about its ideal space couplings—a culture perfectly encapsulated by the Reylos, who yearn for more Kylo Ren/Rey content. Ever since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker sealed the romance with a kiss just to kill Kylo almost immediately after, the Reylos have felt both vindicated and robbed.
