As a dedicated Star Wars fan who has followed the galaxy far, far away for over three decades, the cancellation of The Acolyte leaves me feeling a mix of emotions – mostly disappointment and frustration. This series had the potential to be something truly special, with its unique take on the Force and its intriguing characters. But alas, it seems that the powers that be have decided otherwise.
It appears that the planned second season of “The Acolyte,” a live-action Star Wars spinoff on Disney+, has been cancelled. According to initial reports from Deadline, Lucasfilm decided not to renew the series after completing its initial eight episodes, which were wrapped up in July.
Consequently, The Acolyte ended on a suspenseful note with numerous unresolved plot points. Leslye Headland, the showrunner, director, creator, and executive producer, aimed to address these open-ended aspects if her proposal for a “long-running series” were accepted.
The Acolyte cliffhanger explained
The final episode of The Acolyte series takes place on Brendok, the native planet of Osha and Mae where they were raised as witches using the Force. Sol and Mae come together, while Osha follows a vision and joins forces with an ex-Jedi named Qimir who has now embraced the Dark Side.
On Brendok, Sol escorts Mae and Osha back to their home world as evidence of a vital Life-Creating Energy. This proof aims to convince the Jedi Council of its reality, also suggesting that Osha has been an ally in the noble struggle alongside Aniseya’s coven.
Meanwhile, viewers get a glimpse of a spooky figure from the shadows whom many interpreted as the iconic Star Wars villain and Sith Lord, Darth Plagueis.
In the end, Mae and Osha uncover the truth about their mother’s fate. It was Master Sol who ended Aniseya’s life. During a heated argument in their old bedroom, Mae reveals this shocking information to her twin sister. Overwhelmed by fury, Osha uses the Force to strangle Sol to death and then, with Qimir, she decides to embrace the Dark Side, taking Sol’s lightsaber as a symbol of her new allegiance.
At Brendok, Vernestra Rwoh and the Jedi arrive, causing Mae and Osha to depart hastily before the Jedi discover Master Sol’s demise. In order to gain insight into her abilities and true capabilities, Osha swears allegiance to the Dark Side, promising to free Mae from her previous master in return.
In my role as a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: I assume Vernestra’s form to uncover the tragic events that led to our coven’s demise, and in doing so, painful memories resurface about my mother’s fate at the hands of Sol. Qimir wipes away my recollections of the past 15 years to shield me from leading the Jedi to him and Osha.
1. Mae finds herself at a critical juncture when Vernestra seeks her assistance in finding Qimir. She deceitfully informs the Jedi Council Senator Rayencourt about the rise of the Sith, and falsely accuses Master Sol for the deaths of Indara, Kelnacca, and Torbin to preserve the Jedi Order’s reputation as righteous.
As an over-the-moon fan, there’s only one danger left looming– Qimir. The instant I laid eyes on Brendok, Vernestra couldn’t help but feel the familiar presence of her former Padawan. So, in a bid to deal with this old student of mine, I enlisted Mae’s aid. However, with her memory magically wiped clean, we’re left guessing which path she’ll take next.
Finally, Master Yoda makes a brief cameo at the very end of the episode after Vernestra seeks out his help with the iconic “we need to talk” phrase.
Why was The Acolyte canceled?
The Acolyte distinguished itself as Disney’s biggest premiere of the year, generating 4.8 million views, on the streamer. The anticipated spinoff launched on June 4 with two episodes and accumulated around 11.1 million views in the first five days of streaming, also picking a spot on Nielsen’s Top 10 originals chart. Also, the series was critically acclaimed with 78% on Rotten Tomatoes.
however, the initial enthusiasm soon dwindled when the sci-fi show concluded with disappointingly low ratings compared to other Star Wars finales. Regrettably, it didn’t meet Disney’s viewer count requirement for high-budget series to secure another season.
The Acolyte is now streaming on Disney+.
