Despite no problems at all on Rotten Tomatoes, and one of the writers felt that the show had restored faith in the Star Wars franchise, “The Acolyte” has been canceled, according to a new report

According to Deadline, Lucasfilm has decided not to produce a second season of the “Star Wars” spinoff The series starred Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, and Daphne Keen

The Acolyte got off to a strong start, with its first two episodes garnering over 48 million views during its June 4 premiere, making it the largest series to debut on Disney Plus this year That number rose to 111 million views after just five days on the platform

Nevertheless, the show has divided longtime fans of the franchise, with user reviews noting that it simply “should have been better” compared to Star Wars series such as “The Mandalorian” and “Andor”

Warning: spoilers

In the finale of “Acolyte,” viewers were subjected to an endless barrage of unanswered questions And now, thanks to news of its cancellation, we are left to speculate forever about the end of the series

For starters, fans enjoyed a cameo appearance by the very familiar Jedi Master Yoda Master Yoda is alive and well in the “Acolyte” timeline, which takes place 100 years before the “Phantom Menace” movie However, this small cameo appearance by the little green Jedi master has lost its deep significance now that the series has come to a rather unfortunate end

In addition, the final episode offered an interesting glimpse of the infamous Sith Lord, presumed to be Darth Plagueis the Wise Although not clearly identified, his story is told by Chancellor Palpatine to Anakin Skywalker in “Revenge of the Sith,” and Darth Plagueis' story ends with him being killed by his apprentice, who is none other than Palpatine himself Fans have speculated that this Playguis sighting may mean that Kimia (Manny Jacinto) is the young Palpatine, but unfortunately, we will never really know

Thankfully, Disney Plus still has several Star Wars shows coming up, including “Skeleton Crew,” which debuts in December, and “Andor” season 2, scheduled for early 2025
