In the new book *The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte, *a scene that has been long speculated about, but never confirmed to have existed, has been revealed: a kiss between protagonist Osha (Amandla Stenberg) and antagonist Qimir (Manny Jacinto).

A lot of folks don't like it. That seems to be the prevailing opinion. I think if you enjoy Star Wars, it's more worth watching than some other options you have. It doesn't hold a candle to Star Wars at its best, but then very little does.

It's hard watching Jedi kinda be... dumb. But that's the Galaxy that George Lucas established.

Edit: dumb isn't exactly right but I'm trying to avoid spoilers. They aren't what we've come to think of as Jedi. They exhibit every behavior we've been told Jedi reject. Vanity and pride most of all.
