What happens to a cliffhanger at the end of a cancelled series? Does it dry up, like a raisin in the sun? In the world of Star Wars, only one series of the Disney+ era has been officially canceled, The Acolyte, but its series finale contained a number of hints of what could come next. Most of the attention has been on what could have happened with the first appearance of Palpatine’s long-lost master, Darth Plagueis, but there’s another cliffhanger that had huge potential.
Finally, the showrunner has confirmed that a beloved Jedi would have played a role in a plot that may have been controversial but explains a major prequel-era mystery.
