The Acolyte: Star Wars Fans Are Defending the Lightsaber Whip
The lightwhip first debuted in 1985...
The Hype Is Real
So awesome finally seeing a lightwhip in a live action Star Wars project!
Can’t wait for The Acolyte next month, the more I see from it, the more hyped I get 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WeeL1h2S05

Throwback
I’ve seen a lot of people bitching about Vernestra Rwoh’s lightsaber whip, in The Acolyte.
Lightwhips originally appeared in the 1980s Marvel Comics, and have been in many projects since.
It wasn’t a problem then, and it isn’t a problem now! pic.twitter.com/BwbzKi3oxP

High Republic Hive Rise
It’s wild how dudebros are getting upset about the lightwhip being featured in the Acolyte. Like bro, it was born in the EU and already made canon via the high republic. It’s not “new”. pic.twitter.com/3Fq7y3GoiC

Lots To Think About
The only way I can describe the Lightsaber whip is liquid light in motion🤔 which I’m sure hurts like hell if it hits you😂 Star Wars hasn’t shown anything this cool in a while this is fantastic!! THE ACOLYTE is going to be Amazing!!💜 https://t.co/eQavACX31O pic.twitter.com/sqljWPi8YG

Undeniably Cool
Most Star Wars fans are wack bc 90% of the comments are negative. How are you gonna tell me that a lightsaber whip doesn’t go hard as fuck!? I don’t care how it got there or if it makes sense, it’s cool! Shut up, nerds! https://t.co/oBRtRNtBOn

Points Were Made
"How to defend against a Lightsaber Whip?"
Why do you think this weapon is used exclusively by highly skilled Dark Side users with the intention to kill and why Vernestra is worried about telling other Jedi about her modified Lightsaber. It's an intended cruel, dark side weapon. https://t.co/4vg4ekpikJ

Again We Say... It's Cool!
The #TheAcolyte will cause a meltdown for chuds and I am all here for it.
If you are going to cry about a lightsaber whip, that canonically existed in the EU then I don't know what to say.
Yeah I know it was used by dark side force users, but it looks just as cool on Jedi ✨ pic.twitter.com/rGfxDPGgfA

Another Good Point
the light whip is great but also we're not talking enough about how we finally have our second live action purple lightsaber after 22 years https://t.co/7AJqpIzJNc

They’re doing the fucking lightsaber whip. Not a drill, stratospheric levels of back. https://t.co/DyZFgAYDax pic.twitter.com/VDRRjudWs8
