Lucasfilm has decided not to give The Acolyte a second season. We discuss this decision and what is going on with Star Wars content on Disney+.
When The Acolyte concluded this summer, it left fans with many tantalizing questions and possibilities for a second season. However, Lucasfilm and Disney+ had not picked The Acolyte up for a second season before the series finale. Whether it was going to get a second season remained an open question until this week when many industry magazines reported that Lucasfilm elected not to go forward with a second season of The Acolyte. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we are discussing our reaction to the news, why the decision might have been made, and ask what is the future of Star Wars on Disney+. We have a lot to talk about, so press play and join us for the conversation.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- What we thought of the decision to cancel any future season of The Acolyte,
- The questions that are leftover from the one season of The Acolyte,
- What is the future of Star Wars content on Disney+,
- How does this impact previously announced tie-in novels and comics,
- Does this mark a similar pivot to content production similar to what Marvel is doing? and
- Why this decision might have been made.
