Osha (Amandla Stenberg) in The Acolyte season 1 episode 4

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland has spoken up about some of the recent controversies, insisting she doesn't believe the Star Wars TV show is "Queer with a capital Q." The Star Wars fandom has always been divided and divisive, but The Acolyte seems to have ignited a firestorm of debate online.

"I was surprised by the question. Amandla and I just burst out laughing because that’s our knee-jerk reaction to being asked that, but to be honest, I don’t know what the term ‘gay’ means in that sense. I don’t believe that I’ve created queer, with a capital Q, content."

Headland isn't even convinced the witches of Brendok should be called lesbians, considering that reductive. "I think it means you’re not really paying attention to this story," she adds. To be fair, there's absolutely no reason different Force traditions in the Star Wars galaxy should mirror relationships in the real world. Headland's view appears to be that people are reading a little too much into a handful of scenes - or, perhaps, a little too little.
