‘Deserve More Seasons’: Fans Comfort Manny Jacinto Over Star Wars The Acolyte Post as Series Gets Canceled

As a die-hard fan of The Acolyte since its inception, I find myself deeply saddened by Disney’s decision to cancel this extraordinary series. Manny Jacinto‘s portrayal of Qimir was nothing short of breathtaking, and his on-screen chemistry with Amandla Stenberg was captivating. The show’s potential for growth and exploration of the Star Wars universe was immense, and it is a shame that we will not get to witness it unfold.


Shortly following the finale of its initial run, Disney unexpectedly announced the cancellation of The Acolyte, leaving many viewers dismayed. Star Manny Jacinto voiced his sentiments about this move on various social platforms, mirroring the collective sadness among fans.

On August 23, Jacinto uploaded an Instagram photo featuring his The Acolyte character Qimir, standing hand-in-hand with Osha (played by Amandla Stenberg). The image captures them gazing out at the sunset from a scenic seashore. Since they’re facing away from the camera, their silhouettes are visible against the beautiful ocean backdrop. In the caption, Jacinto subtly expressed his affection for his character and the show with a heartfelt emoji.

Many fans are outraged over Disney’s decision to cancel the series, with one particularly common comment being, “They truly deserved a better fate.” Simu Liu, who stars in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, expressed his support by saying, “Justice for Manny! You were incredibly impressive in this show, and your dedication was evident. Onward to greater opportunities. I’ll always be cheering you on ❤️”

1 User expressed regret over Disney not continuing with Season 2, stating “There was immense potential for season 2.”

1. “Your portrayal of the Star Wars villain has been the most captivating in recent years, surpassing even Gideon and Kylo Ren. It’s a shame you didn’t receive a more substantial role 😭.”

As a lifestyle expert, I must admit that while “The Acolyte” has its devoted followers, it’s undeniable that the Star Wars series has sparked its fair share of vocal critics. Across social media platforms, the series has been met with harsh criticism, and some have even resorted to review bombing, which seems to have impacted viewership numbers.

“As an ardent admirer, I strive to maintain balance, for it can easily consume me like a bottomless pit. From the outset of my professional journey, I’ve come to understand that if one is willing to embrace the positive, they must also accept the negative.” – Jacinto, as reported by Nuvo Magazine.

Leslye Headland has developed a Star Wars series titled “Untitled Star Wars: The High Republic Show.” This show features an impressive cast that includes Lee Jung-jae, Charlie Barnett, Dafne Keen, Rebecca Henderson, Jodie Turner-Smith, Carrie-Anne Moss, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, Margarita Levieva, Lauren Brady, Leah Brady, Harry Trevaldwyn, and David Harewood.
