Is it too much to ask to show a little love in the big blockbuster franchises nowadays? The Acolyte star, Manny Jacinto, certainly thinks so, which makes it even more frustrating that we'll never get to see his character Qibir show that side of him in the canceled Star Wars prequel series.
Speaking to TV Insider about his time on the show, Jacinto expressed his admiration for The Acolyte, which dared to introduce a little bit of potential passion into the mix for a change. “I feel like with a lot of the franchises that we currently have, it’s missing the romance,” Jacinto explained. “It’s missing a lot of love and relationships. We have the big fight scenes and the origin stories of these heroes and whatnot, but they don’t really have a relationship with other people. It’s such a weird thing."
