The story of The Acolyte will not continue, with Lucasfilm opting not to proceed with a second season of the Star Wars offshoot starring Amandla Stenberg, sources tell Deadline.
Word of the decision comes more than a month after the eight-episode first season of the series from creator, director, executive producer and showrunner Lesley Headland wrapped its run on Disney+.
While I don’t fully disagree with your statement. I do however find it humorous as a whole, that the fandom has more often than not, been begging for more Star Wars movies and TV shows. And then when we/they get more, there seems to be a rift in the fandom. Not to mention any review bombing for a plethora of reasons, but the incels in particular.
That being said, I was perplexed how they were going to keep so many TV shows going and interesting enough to make each, three seasons or more. They’ve proven it with The Mandalorian that they can go the ‘distance.’ (I found myself losing interest during season 3, in the last 3 episodes. And I’m hoping that they have been able to glean from their past writing and grow.)
A new movie every 5 years would be fine. But they just shut down an entire theme park resort. They keep making spinoff after spinoff after spinoff. Just look at the Series schedule on the right of this community!
4 new shows per year is absolutely stupid. Production value, story, everything has absolutely been paper thin because Disney wants to milk the FUCK out of this franchise as quickly as they can.
