Fans of Willow obsessed with the new romance


I was asked by a couple of friends to write up a blog about the two characters that are in the new Willow TV series.

The first two episodes of Willow were released on Disney+ and now they are on episode four this week, and the show is currently up on Rotten Tomatoes with an impressive 84% critics score. Unfortunately, it looks like the new series is getting review-bombed on the site due to the fact that there's a queer romance at the forefront of the story. While there was an lgbtq couple featured in Andor, Kit (Ruby Cruz) and Jade (Erin Kellyman) in Willow mark the first romance that is front and center in a Lucasfilm project. Despite the fact that the show has a 38% audience score thanks to some gross trolls, there are many fans who are extremely happy about the romance between Kit and Jade.

From what I was able to see , and learn from behind the scenes It was a totally organic thing, This is a statement from the producers of the show. ‘It was not a decision that was ever made because we thought we needed queer representation in the show or that that was something we were intent on doing. What was clear was that we wanted to put at the center of this story a daughter for Madmartigan, who was torn between two people. One of those people was this person she was obligated to marry and was not in love with. And the other one was her best friend, who she was in love with. It never even occurred to us that we were making a choice to do a queer relationship, so much as it was to a story choice to put Kit into this interesting dynamic of friendships and romances."

As the series continues its first season, there will be more building of their relationship as well as the story of Willow gaining his self-confidence once again and protect the true empress. As I wrote in my other blog reviewing Willow, this show is good so far and enjoyable to watch.  So go and check it out on Disney+ on Wednesdays.
