Most recent production of the universe Star Warsthe series The Acolyte has been cancelled and will not have a second season.

The information was revealed by the portal Deadline just over two months after the official release of the first episode in early June.

This decision was reportedly taken by the production company LucasFilm, which considered the audience and public approval to be low, despite the good critical reviews.

Now, the protagonist Amandla Stenbergwho plays twins Osha and Mae, shared her opinion on the series’ cancellation on social media

No surprises

The actress posted a series of stories on Instagram to comment on the end of the Star Wars spin-off. According to her, the decision was not a surprise:

I’ll be transparent and say it wasn’t shocking. There was a wave of criticism from the moment the show was announced, when it was still just an idea and no one had seen anything. That’s when we experienced a wave of, I would say, a wave of ultra-conservative intolerance, prejudice and hatred.”

Amandla Stenberg addressed the various criticisms the series received even before its release. Many fans questioned the casting and accused Disney of giving in to “woke” culture, as several actors from The Acolyte are black or Asian.

On the other hand, the protagonist thanked the many other fans who supported her and praised the series. In the end, she said that she was “really affected” by the insults, but that she was able to respond.

Although I predicted [o ódio e a reação negativa]it’s not something you can fully understand until it happens to you. But I feel like I’ve overcome it in a lot of ways, including standing up for myself and being myself.”
