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+.
I really liked that it was set in the old republic. Usually just the books go into that time segment and I’m sad that it’s not going to get a second season.
I wanted to like it for the same reason originally, but it isn’t even set in the old republic. The Acolyte is set just 132 years before the battle of Yavin.
I rather enjoyed it unlike Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett, it did a lot of things right and I was interested in seeing where it went. I have no regrets having watched it and hope some of the dangling threads are picked up elsewhere (I wouldn't be surprised if they announced a comic book based in the season 2 plans).
I found it fairly entertaining on the whole and it leaves off in a way that I would say is final enough but clearly could use a season 2. Honestly I'd say you could literally flip a coin to decide and either way it's fine.
