As a longtime Star Wars enthusiast, I can’t help but feel a tinge of sadness over the premature cancellation of Disney’s The Acolyte. However, after reading Moss’s calm and collected response to the news, I find myself admiring her resilience in the face of such a disappointing turn of events. Her ability to move on so swiftly, even before the show’s second season was officially axed, is nothing short of inspiring.
Disney recently scrapped their new “Star Wars” series, “The Acolyte,” only a month after its premiere and despite having completed one season. Ever since then, fans have been fervently requesting for the show’s return. Despite the void left in the “Star Wars” universe by this decision, the actress who portrayed a Jedi Master in the series expressed a more pragmatic perspective, revealing that she had already moved on before the news of the second season’s cancellation was announced.
Various actors involved in “The Acolyte” series have publicly shared their feelings about its cancellation, ranging from sadness to surprise. Manny Jacinto, for instance, used a single heart emoji. Fans, too, have voiced their dismay, creating a petition for the show’s renewal which has grown in strength, despite Disney’s firm stance on not changing their decision. Interestingly, while many cast members seemed deeply affected, Moss seemed less so when asked about the cancellation of “The Acolyte”. In an interview with ComicBook.com, she explained that because her character met a tragic end, she had already come to terms with leaving the show.
Essentially, what you’re saying is: When I passed away, I felt an overwhelming love for everyone, but I didn’t learn about it later. A parent at school shared this news with me, and I was engrossed in another project at the time. So, it was like a casual acceptance – “oh, okay” – as the event had already transpired for me.
Moss explained that her indifferent response was due to the high number of shows being canceled in today’s entertainment industry, especially with the rise of numerous streaming platforms competing fiercely for viewers. Shows like Netflix and Disney, for instance, have become known for prematurely ending series. “As an actor,” she admitted, “it’s always disappointing when a show gets canceled at the start, but I’ve learned not to get too attached. It’s a defense mechanism.
Disney Is Rapidly Falling Out of Favor With Star Wars Fans
The cancellation of “The Acolyte” is just the latest in a string of questionable choices regarding the Star Wars universe by Disney. In its short time on screen, “The Acolyte” stirred up many debates due to its diverse cast, leading to problems such as “review bombing,” which had a negative impact on its ratings and viewership. However, the show was also very costly to produce, making its survival contingent upon almost universal fan approval – something it didn’t receive. It appears that by investing so much money into a project with potential controversy, Disney may have intentionally set up “The Acolyte” for failure.
Fans have been critical of Disney for seemingly sticking to safer choices in the Star Wars universe following the premature termination of projects like The Acolyte. This has led some to accuse Disney of catering to a problematic segment of Star Wars fans, who have targeted the cast of The Acolyte online. Unfortunately, it appears that this trend may continue, as the chances of The Acolyte making a comeback seem slim due to its high production costs, despite fan outcry. It’s worth noting that Disney might find it difficult to revive an unprofitable project like The Acolyte, even if the negative reviews it received may not have accurately represented the show itself.
