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+.

If this was ~~Jason Mendoza’s~~ Manny Jacinto’s only opportunity to play Darth Bortles, I will set fire to a god-damn space-witch castle. That man is a treasure and absolutely stole every scene he was in.

Otherwise… 50/50. I liked it enough that I wanted to see what would happen, and I feel like the pacing will work better for those who get to binge it, but some of the criticisms about script, budget, etc. were more than fair.

Manny played my favorite character (I liked others too, but they clearly won't be in season 2.)

I hope they can find a story for him in a few years and he can continue his journey. Just have the Acolyte story "not work out" but bring him back with someone new.

Oh wow. I don't believe I didn't recognize him from the Good Place. I think the show had good potential. There was some issues, but nothing unforgivable.
