As a gamer with over two decades of Star Wars fandom under my belt, I have to say, this news about The Acolyte leaving us hanging at the cliff’s edge is as disappointing as finding out that Han Solo didn’t actually make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
According to Deadline’s initial report, the Disney+ series “The Acolyte,” which is a spin-off from the Star Wars saga, has been put on hold after completing only one season. This show was set during the latter part of the High Republic period and follows a Padawan teaming up with her Jedi Master to investigate a string of crimes and the emergence of ominous powers.
Leslye Headland developed the series as a means to connect the storyline from “The Phantom Menace” (released in 1999) to “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” (2019).
On the big day of the show’s debut, I was one among 4.8 million gamers glued to our screens, as reported by Deadline. But here’s the kicker – within just five days, that number skyrocketed to a staggering 11 million of us!
As time went on, the number of viewers significantly decreased. The last and concluding episode of The Acolyte in July registered the smallest audience for any final episode of a Star Wars series to date.
As the current Star Wars season concluded with a suspenseful twist, fans will now be drawn towards another exciting series. Fortunately, they won’t have to endure much of a wait. The new Star Wars series titled “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” is set to premiere on Disney+ on December 3, and it revolves around the adventures of four children lost in the galaxy.
