The acolyte was the second most watched program in Disney+ last year

It seems unnecessary complaints of that little but strong toxic section Star Wars The fandom may have influenced Lucasfilm to shorten the life of The acolyte too soon. Leslye Headland series (Russian doll) He pushed the limits of the light and the dark side with his history of the era of the high Republic starring Amandla Stenberg (which will soon be seen in Children of Blood and Bone), Lee Jung-Jae (Squid game), Manny Jacinto (The good place), and Jodie Turner- Smith (Tron: Ares). Became a hot topic between Star Wars Fans last year about their ambitious version of tradition, and dates now has revealed that it was the second most viewed of the Disney+year.

Deadline He shared the statistics, citing the luminate investigation that broken down the high television ups and downs of 2024. And although he pointed out that it was a difficult year for franchises: “Marvel, Marvel, Star Warsand Power rings All not held last year, ”he attributed specific loose balls to programs like Marvel’s Echo and Agatha all the time. However, IP franchises still did the best on the platform: Percy Jackson and the Olympics I obtained first place with “with more than three billion minutes seen”, and The acolyte He arrived in second place with 2.7 billion. That suggests Acolyte He had a big audience, which has made his cancellation even less sense.

It is interesting that the Wandavisión The sequels series did not receive the same heat as Acolyte. And although Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) may not be receiving another season, at least she has made fun of her and Wiccan (Joe Locke) can be entering other Marvel stories. That is something Star Wars Fans expect the characters of Stenberg and Jacinto de Acolyte; That season end was a dominant and we missed a lot of Oshamir. While a good part of the Star Wars Fandom loved the program and is still angry at his cancellation, the fact that he ended up so suddenly speaks of Lucasfilm’s inefficiency to face the implacable online harassment addressed to his actors. If something, once again, felt as if the company folded to the dark side of fans for their dollars, and then attracted them with the nostalgia full of nostalgia Skeleton crew.

Do not leave Star Wars Being challenging is a shame.
