Did Disney Just Hint at ‘The Acolyte’ Getting a Season 2?

by

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who has witnessed the galaxy far, far away unfold across multiple generations, I must say that the anticipation for Disney‘s upcoming D23 event is palpable. Having grown up with the original trilogy and later embracing the prequels, sequels, and now the spin-offs, I have to admit that my fandom has been through its fair share of ups and downs.

A cornerstone of contemporary sci-fi, George Lucas’s Star Wars series holds immense significance and impact on the genre. Originally a daring space opera endeavor, it transformed into one of the world’s most beloved and profitable franchises. With decades under its belt, Star Wars has earned the admiration of countless fans spanning generations and continues to be recognized as one of the grandest fictional realms ever conceived.

Although we’ve previously noted that the Star Wars brand hasn’t escaped criticism, particularly following Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm several years ago. Critics have often aimed their disapproval at Kathleen Kennedy, but behind the scenes, the business aspect of this iconic sci-fi franchise has thrived remarkably well.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m buzzing with anticipation about the massive plans Disney has for next week’s D23 fan event. From what I’ve gathered, it seems like these plans might just be the tip of an iceberg, potentially hinting at a significant unveiling that could send shivers of excitement down the spines of fans who have been eagerly waiting for news about The Acolyte.

Previously mentioned, here are the primary spots to visit: The Lucasfilm Booth, serving as our hub with opportunities for hands-on franchise interaction; the Disney+ Pavilion, filled with Star Wars content and streaming service delights; and the Star Wars Darkade, where you can challenge yourself on a villains-themed arcade for a shot at winning exciting prizes.

Here, our focus lies on an event happening on Saturday, August 10 at 4:00 p.m., specifically at the Lucasfilm Booth. This occasion will feature a retrospective of Star Wars: The Acolyte, with Manny Jacinto present to discuss the series. However, what captures our attention most is a tweet by Disney, which hints at something intriguing.

The intriguing aspect of this tweet lies in its revelation – unlike the initial announcement – that Jacinto will discuss the premiere or inaugural season of The Acolyte. If this season is being referred to as the first, fans speculate that it could imply Disney is considering a subsequent season for the series. After all, if the previous season was indeed the final one, they wouldn’t refer to it as the first, would they?

Following the exciting appearances of Darth Plagueis, Vernestra Rwoh’s intrigue, and Osha joining the Stranger, the prospect of The Acolyte seems more promising than ever. Many fans are eagerly anticipating a continuation of the story, and it would be disappointing if they didn’t get one. At D23, we may find out about a second season, although updates might be on the way, so stay tuned for all the latest developments!
