Leslye Headland’sThe Acolytewas controversial even before it aired , place because it was " woke . " AlthoughThe Acolytewas far from everlasting , it certainly did n’t merit the scale of the inspection - bombing drive , and some ofThe Acolyte ’s controversieswere ludicrous ( did anyone really care about Ki - Adi - Mundi ’s age ? ) .

This Is A Big Surprise From Lucasfilm
Six months on , the stars ofThe Acolyteare beginning to talk about their pride in thecanceledStar WarsTV showand the difficulties they encountered in the face of that brutal backlash . Curiously , star topology Manny Jacinto is confirmed to be attending Star Wars Celebration , which - immix with these surprising badge selection - seems to confirm Lucasfilm intend to spotlight the show , despite its cancelation . It ’s deserving notingThe Acolyte ’s account is far from over , with several tie - in books due afterwards this year .
The new badges have arrive as an unexpected joy to the portion of the fanbase who lovedThe Acolyte , and who were deeply spite both by season 2 ’s cancelation and Lucasfilm ’s frustrating radio silence in its consequence .

Our Take On The Acolyte’s Future
Nothing Is Ever Truly Gone
This is the stunner ofStar Wars;nothing is ever truly go . Solo : A Star Wars Storywas a boxful office bomb , leading to the cancelation of the entire anthology motion picture project , but its character and concepts have been further developed in strip and novels . In the same way , The Acolytemay have been canceled , but it seems Lucasfilm is unwilling to simply give up on the concepts , ideas , and quality who were introduced into the galaxy through it .
Personally , I have great sympathy with the push to bring in backThe Acolyte . I do n’t expect the # RenewTheAcolyte campaign to be successful;the show ’s viewership was too miserable compared to its oculus - watering budget , which is potential the tangible reason for the cancelation , rather than the disputation and scandals ( although they wo n’t have helped ) . But then , some years ago , I assumed the Snyder Cut campaign would be unsuccessful ; so I can to the full understand the rooter decide to continue their political campaign .
