The story of The Acolyte will not continue, with LucasFilm opting not to proceed with Season 2 of the Star Wars offshoot starring Amandla Stenberg.

    I won’t pretend it was a good series, but the incel review bombing was an unnecessary distraction. It had potential and I would have liked to see them correct course and continue the story for another season.

      I am not sure there was any real “incel review bombing”. Looks more like an excuse of the show’s creators. The show was shockingly bad, even from a purely technical standpoint. It felt like a not very good fanfiction. The Kenobi show was the same.

    I didn’t like this show, but I want a second season so that I could like it. It’s obvious that the one season wasn’t meant to be considered in isolation.

    There’s plenty of examples of shows that didn’t have a great first season that, given the chance, really found their footing later on.

    Wasn’t this the show where some chick shows up and has all the skills without even training?

      No, that’s the sequel trilogy. In this one, they show the MCs being trained from childhood and then each received further training, one from Jedi, the other from Jason from the Good Place.

    I feel like the show would’ve been better if it was 6 episodes or less. The main issue I had with it was pacing. It was clearly a story you could tell in fewer episodes but they stretched it out to 8. Like one episode was literally the same as the other, just from a different character’s perspective. That can work in certain cases, but it didn’t for the show because it already had pacing issues in the first place.

    I wanted it to work because of its place in the timeline, before everything else and provide more history.

    It’s a worrying sign. Disney should have more of a backbone against trolls.
