The story of The Acolyte will not continue, with Lucasfilm opting not to proceed with a second season of the Star Wars offshoot starring Amandla Stenberg, sources tell Deadline.

Word of the decision comes more than a month after the eight-episode first season of the series from creator, director, executive producer and showrunner Lesley Headland wrapped its run on Disney+.

I haven’t watched season 1 yet; is it worth bothering with if there isn’t going to be a season 2?

I really liked that it was set in the old republic. Usually just the books go into that time segment and I’m sad that it’s not going to get a second season.

I wanted to like it for the same reason originally, but it isn’t even set in the old republic. The Acolyte is set just 132 years before the battle of Yavin.

They probably meant to write High Republic

I rather enjoyed it unlike Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett, it did a lot of things right and I was interested in seeing where it went. I have no regrets having watched it and hope some of the dangling threads are picked up elsewhere (I wouldn't be surprised if they announced a comic book based in the season 2 plans).

I found it fairly entertaining on the whole and it leaves off in a way that I would say is final enough but clearly could use a season 2. Honestly I'd say you could literally flip a coin to decide and either way it's fine.
