Hi everyone,
If you haven’t already heard, the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement has now called for a full boycott of Disney+. In the spirit of Star Wars at its most anti-imperialist, we will be continuing to follow BDS’ guidance. This means our planned Acolyte season 1 wrap-up episode is canceled, and any plans for covering other Disney+ shows like Andor season 2 or Skeleton Crew are suspended until BDS ends the boycott.
If you’d like to know BDS’ reasoning for escalating to this boycott, you can read about it here. While it is focused on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Captain America 4, the specific Disney+ boycott does affect Star Wars.Â
In addition, we’d like to direct you to donate or boost the fundraiser for Mohammad Matar’s family to escape Gaza.
Even after the Acolyte, we were already going to announce our move to cover more non-Star Wars media. Our plan moving forward is to have a series of stand alone episodes that center different types of media that we’ve been wanting to talk about, plus the classic RuPalp’s games and bits you know and love. Keep an eye on our social media for announcements on our direction and opportunities (like polls) to tell us what you want to hear!
Thank you all so much for your continued support, we appreciate everyone who has stuck with us for the last three years. We can’t wait to make more new stuff for you to listen to!Â
