‘The Acolyte’ Canceled: No Season 2 For Disney+’s ‘Star Wars’ Series
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.
Should’ve been a movie
My conspiracy theory is that they're pushing for these mini series types more than movies because they're cheaper to make, and they can try and hire non-union workers for the production.
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.
The Kenobi show was a 7/10 and I'll fight anyone that says soft-canonizing Corran Horn wasn't worth 6/10 in and of itself.
Anecdotally, a right-wing chud I’m unfortunately acquainted with was pestering me for weeks about it — and he’s not even a Star Wars fan.
It started off very rough, but by the end I thought it was much better than the Bad Batch, the Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka. Not everything can be Andor, but this was better than most SW Disney has put out and almost all the Marvel shows they've tried to force feed their audience.
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.
Haters gonna hate, but while I did not enjoy every episode, on the whole I really loved this show.
Yeah, it's a bummer.
That speaks more to your lack of taste than the show's quality. The show was laughingly bad. From acting, to directing, even the special effects.
TIL that art can be objectively evaluated and rated. By this person anyway.
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.
They had filler in an 8 episode season, they could have spent some time on a coherent first season.
I wanted it to work because of its place in the timeline, before everything else and provide more history.
Oh no...
The power of one.
the poweeeeeeerrrrrrr of mannnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I never even saw it. In fact i never even heard of it till right now. I stopped watching Disney Star Wars stuff after season 2 of the mandalorian. They were pumping out WAY too much content which made the quality of everything sink. After there were multiple shows running concurrently none of it seemed special anymore
Rate of content creation and quality aren't related.
Yes they are. There's simple realities of labor that mean, for example, a particularly talented set design team can't push out 40 hours of work a day.
Wasn't this the show where some chick shows up and has all the skills without even training?
That doesn't narrow it down.
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.
It certainly wasn’t the one with the Spy Kids Moped Brigade.
