The strongest from all over the galaxy gathered from near and far in Hollywood this past Sunday for a truly eclipsing event: the premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Causing quite the distrubance in The Force (or at least on Twitter), first reactions started pouring in late Sunday night. Don't worry, though. The film (which formally opens to audiences everywhere this Thursday) will not be spoiled, but from what we've gathered from these reactions, it's going to take our breath away.

The arrival of any new Star Wars property is always met with plenty of anticipation, and (sorry) a new hope that it will persist in creating the feelings of magic and wonder that have made the franchise the ultimate pop culture juggernaut that it has remained for nearly 50 (yes 50!) years. 
But perhaps no Star Wars property has grabbed the attention of queer audiences more than its latest offering, The Acolyte, because while the plot details have largely stayed under lock and key at Disney HQ, the cast and the crew bringing this latest chapter to the screen is full of familiar faces in queer spaces.
