Willow is here, and fans are already loving Kit and Jade.
The first two episodes of Willow were released on Disney+ yesterday, 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 and Jade in Willow mark the first romance that is front and center in a Lucasfilm project.
"Okay so I just watched #Willow and I'm already in love with them, shipping Kit and Jade already. But seriously, I'm so glad we're getting more representation in mainstream media. Thank you @Lucasfilm," @w_chivis wrote."Just need someone who looks at me the way Jade looks at Kit #Willow," @KyloCool630 tweeted."I watched the first 2 episodes of #Willow and I love this cute series already.
What Does Showrunner Jonathan Kasdan Say About Kit and Jade in Willow? "It was a totally organic thing," Kasdan recently told Yahoo! Entertainment."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.
He added,"It felt very natural – as the pilot was coming together and the question about who these women are and how they empower the next generation – that that best friend would be female, too," he adds."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.
