As a dedicated Star Wars fan who has grown up watching and re-watching the saga since childhood, the news of The Acolyte’s cancellation left me feeling a mix of emotions that could only be described as the force itself: both powerful and unpredictable.
In 2024, one of the shows terminated or discontinued was Disney+’s “The Acolyte,” which aired its eight-episode season from June to July as part of the latest “Star Wars” series. This show took place at the end of the High Republic era and before the Skywalker Saga, but unfortunately didn’t get a chance to establish any connections due to Disney+’s unexpected cancellation of “The Acolyte” earlier this month. Now, there’s a new “Star Wars” rumor circulating that might shed some light on why the show was canceled.
Since the end of The Acolyte‘s storyline was confirmed, fans have been tirelessly working to preserve the Star Wars series, hoping for a second season and to prevent its removal from Disney+ in the foreseeable future. Despite the dismay and annoyance brought about by this news, there appears to be a somewhat justifiable reason behind Disney+’s decision not to cancel it, even if it doesn’t entirely alleviate concerns.
According to Jeff Sneider from InSneider, as reported by Screen Rant, Lucasfilm is currently working on multiple unannounced TV shows. This implies that they are developing more Star Wars series behind the scenes, and since the potential divisiveness of one show surpassed its viewer base, they chose not to proceed with a series that might have caused controversy.
There’s no official confirmation about more “Star Wars” series being developed. In fact, recent whispers suggested just the opposite. However, it wouldn’t shock us if some low-profile projects were underway behind the scenes. Disney seems to be reviewing its initial content due to financial considerations, and only “Ahsoka” Season 2 and the upcoming “Star Wars” series “Skeleton Crew” appear to be in the clear for now.

There’s always a chance that “The Acolyte” could be revived or reimagined somehow, especially if there are more “Star Wars” series in development. Lee Jung-jae remains optimistic about the future of the story and characters, despite Master Sol’s death at Osha’s hands in Season 1 finale. The abrupt cancellation feels particularly disappointing given that it seemed like there was more narrative to unfold.
It’s great news that the Star Wars franchise remains successful across both large and small screens, giving creators plenty of opportunities to explore new stories. The fact that The Acolyte has set up potential storylines for a second season could prove beneficial in the future, and even if upcoming shows don’t touch on these elements, it doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be developed further down the line.
Although the prospect of additional Star Wars series is thrilling, it’s nonetheless unfortunate that The Acolyte was cancelled. Fortunately for those who have a Disney+ subscription, they can still enjoy the entirety of its one season.
