Quick post.

Lots of people are using the acolyte to trash on Filoni because he approved the show, he said he supports Leslie and he somehow was involved in the making of the show and its decisions. While some of this is plausible in that we don't know the full story so we can't confirm it so speculation is fine, a lot of it is actually unfair. 

Picture this: you are a very important figure for creatives in a large franchise. You love this franchise with all your heart, its always on ur mind and its ur dream to be where you are. Then, ur boss hires someone who might not be as intelligent as you but shares the same passion, at least pretends to but you don't know. Since you are in the position that you are in, you don't want to lose this opportunity. So you take it upon yourself to guide the new person but you can't do everything for them because you have your own projects to work on. So all you can do is give some pointers here and there. Then interviews start happening, it doesn't matter what your opinion is, you are under pressure and under contracts/nda's where you can't speak negatively and there is a whole list of things you can't mention or talk about. Also keep in mind, you don't want to say or do anything that may give reason for your bosses to fire you. So you keep quiet and play the part.

See the problem?  There is so much we don't know so reasons such as "Filoni let Acolyte happen" or "Dave is responsible to how bad Acolyte is" is extremely unfair. You can criticise Dave for Mando 3 and Ahsoka, thats fine. Even if we don't know everything about his contributions, we can assume that the writing belongs to Dave since hes in the credits for both writer, director and producer positions. 

Alright, thats it from me, thanks for reading and MTFBWY!
