THE ACOLYTE Cast Members Comment on the Show’s Premature End

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who has witnessed both the highs and lows of the expansive galaxy far, far away, I can’t help but feel a twinge of sadness at the premature cancellation of The Acolyte. Having had the privilege of immersing myself in this rich universe through various mediums over the years, I must admit that the sudden ending of yet another promising series left me feeling akin to a Jedi who’s just lost their lightsaber.


As a dedicated fan, I’m still reeling from the sudden cancellation of “Star Wars: The Acolyte” after only one season. It’s not just us fans who are stunned, but even the talented cast members, like Jedi Master Sol himself, Lee Jung-jae. Despite his character meeting an untimely end, he was equally taken aback by the news.

In case you’re aware, my character had perished in the first season itself. Consequently, I wouldn’t have been part of the second season even if there was one. Yet, speaking from a personal perspective, I deeply admired Leslye’s writing skills. I found her to be an exceptional storyteller and character developer, with a knack for crafting intricate narrative structures. Frankly, I was eagerly anticipating a potential second season under her leadership. At this point, I can only hope for possible changes in the future. After all, you never know what might transpire, so here’s to hoping we get more of Leslye’s captivating storytelling in the future.

Apart from Lee Jung-jae, other cast members are voicing their thoughts about the unexpected conclusion of “The Acolyte.” Manny Jacinto, who portrays the character beneath the Sith mask, shared a final scene snapshot of “The Acolyte” on his social media. In the image, the Stranger and his apprentice Osha (Amandla Stenberg) are seen holding hands, gazing across the ocean towards their uncertain future. Jacinto accompanied the photo with a heart emoji, which fans speculate isn’t a symbol of despair but rather offering some optimism. Crossing our fingers that it’s not truly an ending, we hope to witness more of this story unfold—whether it be “The Acolyte” season 2 or another chapter in the saga.
