Somehow, in Star Wars’ five years on Disney+, only one series has been canceled. Some miniseries were never renewed, like The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and some shows were created with a specific endpoint in mind, like Andor, but only one show has officially been given the axe: Leslye Headland’s underperforming prequel series The Acolyte.
One intriguing element of the show is that it was set at the perfect point on the Star Wars timeline to introduce Darth Plagueis, the Sith Lord who recruited and trained Palpatine. Plagueis actually did poke his head out in the show’s final episode, but by that point, The Acolyte was already doomed. Now, however, we finally know what would have happened had we got Season 2, and it’s exactly what many fans were clamoring for.
