Star Wars : just one season for The Acolyte
While it’s not perfect, we would have liked to see more of the series. Star Wars The Acolyte. Launched on June 5 on Disney+, the first season introduced new characters to the universe created by George Lucas, set a century before the first films. A way to avoid a fan service debauchery that we have had a bit too often in productions Star Wars from Disney+. Additionally, the show’s finale opened up some interesting avenues, such as the appearance of the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis.
Unfortunately the streaming platform has decided to interrupt the series after one season. The cancellation was confirmed a week ago and followed negative feedback from some of the audience. In addition, the high production costs did not help (it is said that the budget for the eight episodes of the first season was around 180 million dollars). And the disappointing audience finally ended The Acolyte.

More specifically, an anti-The Acolyte campaign led by groups”hyperconservative“.
I’ll be honest and say that this isn’t a huge shock to me. I live in my own bubble of reality, but for those who don’t know, we’ve faced a wave of vitriolic attacks since the series was announced, when it was still just a concept and no one had seen it. (…) We’ve suffered from hyperconservative bigotry, prejudiced hatred, and inciting language about the casting.
“It really struck me”
Before the broadcast of The AcolyteDesigner Leslye Headland took the initiative to estimate that “anyone engaged in bigotry, racism or hate speech“I wasn’t a fan of it Star Wars. For her part, Amanda Stenberg has published the song Speech in response to the racism she had experienced. In her story, the actress continued to share her experience and how she had to receive hate messages.
It really hit me when I got the role. Even though I expected this to happen, it’s not something you can fully understand until it happens to you. However, I feel like I’ve overcome these feelings in a number of ways, including expressing them myself. For me, it became a situation where I had no choice but to honor my ethics, beliefs, and values while being in this very unique position.
