Does The Acolyte Deserve Cancellation?

I mean, it’s effectively canceled 🤷‍♂️

I liked the show but I think Acolyte should've been a self-contained story. Give it a few years and they'll likely pick up the story in comic or book form.

Between blowing millions of dollars per single minute on the Acolyte and now the RDJ Doom casting, there has to be some serious money laundering going on at Disney right??? Like there's no way

LF is gonna be like "see you all say you want Old Republic stuff but you hated this."

Yeah, cause this sucked. Just don't suck.

I was actually excited for the acolyte specifically because it was finally something that wasn't set in the small timeframe around the movies. Real shame it was so bad, could have opened the door for a lot more stuff set around the high republic era.

my brother and i just recently watched and enjoyed acolyte and were pretty excited for the next season only for it to be cancelled literally days later. i think it got off to a wobbly start but i honestly really loved the last half of it

People need to post pictures of Diego Luna smiling bexause he gets to be in what is generally the most liked Disney Star Wars movie and what is easily the most praised Disney Star Wars show.

He is just dodging all of the hate and ourrage of the fandom.

Non linear/non broadcast TV. Nothing feels like an ongoing series with a possible next season feel. Programs exist pre-recorded on a hard drive
/cloud we can access at anytime. Seasons? Who gives a carp.

Disney gave up on Star Wars ten years ago bro, it’s insane how little effort they’re putting into things. Why is Ashoka Rebels season one million? Because they don’t care anymore, they’re just letting Filoni do whatever he wants because the entire IP is cannon fodder to them.

I’ve been rewatching Star Wars Visions and it just made me realise how limited and uncreative most of the live action Disney Star Wars is.





The sequel Trilogy, Acolyte, Ashoka, Book of Boba Fett. They’re too afraid to be actually creative and go wild with this space adventure franchise. Even Last Jedi which talks bigs game doesn’t actually do anything different.

I found it interesting that Mason mentioned that streamers should just order for three seasons and call it good...isn't that what Amazon is trying to with ROP? Now don't get me wrong, the first season had huge gaps and from what I heard season two is just as bland, but someone has to give it to Amazon that they are sticking to five seasons from the get go...even if those seasons are going to be dry mildew lmao

I watched the first 2 and then skipped to the lightsaber fight episode. I felt zero confusion over anything i had missed. Wtf even happened in the intervening episodes.

From what I remember hearing, assuming if I remembered this correctly, it was planned to be two series upfront only and they got them guaranteed from the beginning.

I’m so frustrated, not because the show was amazing but because Lucasfilm’s takeaway from this is gonna be “keep playing it safe, no more big swings, Dave Filoni shows forever”

DARK ANGEL (TV Series)

Cameron took a "very basic view" of the show's chance of success, saying: "If it flies, it flies. If it doesn't, it doesn't ... If people connect with it, which I hope they will, fine. If we don't find an audience, we deserve to be off the air. It's that simple."

The two-hour premiere episode cost $10 million to produce and was heavily promoted by Fox, reaching 17.4 million viewers. The first season averaged 10.4 million viewers per episode. The second season suffered from a drop in ratings, averaging 6 million viewers per episode, and was canceled.

The producers were initially told a third season had been approved, but two days later Fox informed them that the series had been canceled.

They called us on Saturday and told us we were on schedule and we'd been picked up. We got together Saturday night and celebrated. Sunday goes by, and Monday morning we get a call saying, "No, you're not on the schedule! It's been changed." I've never heard of that happening. But then, I'd never been around television. ... We were supposed to be on a plane on Monday to go to the [network] upfront in New York on Tuesday. They called us that day and told us not to go! I was pissed!

...the worst part about the George Lucas Sequel Trilogy being cancelled is that it has absolutely impacted my ability to enjoy any new STAR WARS projects...
...i feel like everything i went through while watching the Dizney STAR WARS Movies was all for nothing...
...i don't enjoy being depressed, so i never watched "The Rise Of Skywalker" or anything on Dizney+...

...Wow, that tweet would be kinda sad if it were written by a Five Year Old...? As An Adult, that's how it works!!! Some stuff gets cancelled sometimes, that's the chance you take...?
...kudos for reading that to all of us without laughing, though...

Rouge one is the best of the new lot everything after was toilet paper

The show was way too expensive so for how badly written it was. It should have lived on with a cheaper season 2.

I don’t think when the shows are set matters at all to viewers. People just want good Star Wars stuff. The Acolyte was not good, irrespective of the time period. Such a pity

The power of many

3 season guaranteed. You have that. Its called rings of power and its dreadful

Wow your numbers have dropped.

I dropped you 2 years ago but I had to check how you stuck up for this nonsense.

How can anyone like the acolyte?
Even if you take out all the politics. The show is terrible.

The concept is terrible. They are trying to push an agenda instead of making a show
