The screen fades to a still image of a woman draped in butter-yellow fabric, accordion sleeves spread like wings, superimposed over black-and-white photographs of an audience. She’s on a stage that we don’t see; the impression is one of transmutability. Stage actors, real ones, shred the mirage of separate spaces. There is no stage and audience, just communion of story and spirit. Disappearance is an act of transcendence for the most admired and adroit performers.

It's a familiar feeling. Loading up a new streaming true crime documentary only to find out that it’s not, in fact, a movie, but rather a multi-part series. Maybe there’s some excitement at first. Multiple episodes means an intricate, juicy story… right? Not really. A few such series earn their runtime — HBO’s The Jinx comes to mind — but more often than not, stories stretched across multiple episodes drag. Streamers also load them up with filler: talking heads that get into a conspiracy.

They showcase all the things one might expect from a movie about killer tornadoes: turbulent wind bashing against buildings, bodies flying in the air, storm chasers driving through treacherous terrain, and yelling things like, “We’ve got twins!” And it looks awesome. But there’s one thing that really stands out.

During a promotional interview for The Acolyte, one of the newest Disney+ series in the Star Wars canon, actor Charlie Barnett flubbed a key bit of lore, saying that Anakin Skywalker blew up the Death Star, not Luke. It was an obvious and honest mistake, the kind of thing someone might expect any exhausted actor to accidentally mix up during a laborious and repetitive press day. But that didn’t stop a loud contingent of Star Wars fans from jumping all over Barnett.

Director Barry Jenkins is a lot of things. An Oscar-winning filmmaker, writer, and television auteur. A former Time 100 most influential person in the world. A respected director whose work in films like Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk speaks to themes of Black masculinity, childhood, and queer identity. So why is his latest film a prequel to Disney’s live-action Lion King remake? That film, released in 2019, became a behemoth hit but not exactly a critical darling.
