Disney's Decision To Cancel The Acolyte After Just One Season Is Utterly Baffling. Imagine Creating A

Disney's decision to cancel The Acolyte after just one season is utterly baffling. Imagine creating a show set in the High Republic era, an unexplored period in star wars lore, bringing fresh perspectives and focusing on new, intriguing characters and themes—only to cancel it. It's even more frustrating when you consider that the show faced backlash from the beginning mainly from alt-right and racist fans who couldn't handle a series that dared to be diverse and multilayered. By caving to the pressure of those who oppose diversity, Disney is essentially giving a big FUCK YOU to the rest of the fans who were excited for something new and meaningful in the SW universe.

The Acolyte, while imperfect, is a solid setup for what could have been much more. It had so much potential to expand the star wars franchise in new and exciting directions. but of course it wasn't given the chance to grow its audience because some good for nothing incels felt threatened by the inclusion of characters who don't fit the traditional white male dominated narrative that Disney has been feeding us for years.

Fine Disney. Stick with your incels and racist fans. But eventually your nostalgia driven empty projects will wear thin and no amount of CGI young Luke Skywalker or green puppets will be able to save your ass. You fucking cowards.

The Acolyte Deserves a Season 2 (Spoiler Free Highlight Reel)

Have you seen The Acolyte yet? If not here is a video of my personal highlights (just the tip of the iceberg IMO.

"Hahaha it cost $180mil-"

Lower the budget.

"It starting in the top ten and ending in the top ten didn't justify the cost-"

So, lower. the. budget.

"Yeah TCW was initially poorly received, but it didn't cost-"

90% of entertainment currently being made is vastly overproduced and overvalued and overpriced. It is unreasonable to compare the cost of a live action show made by the largest entertainment corporation in the world in 2024 to a cartoon made nearly 20 years ago by fucking Cartoon Network.

Additionally, s1 had to build props/sets etc. If they haven't already Destroyed everything, there's no reason it couldn't have been reused.

Hell, I watched Once Upon a Time. I watched the Prequels. You think I give a fuck if they use green-screen to cut costs?

No, I do not.

Bring back the actors AND the writers and let them finish the story. Give them a reasonable amount of Time to do it in instead of 3hrs.
