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 watched it, thought the plot and the end were totally transparent and predictable. Thought the acting was pretty bad, the fighting was laughable at times, and the reveal at the end a complete waste of time, but I still enjoyed it. I would have watched a second season.

Nothing will ever be as bad as Kenobi.

Was Kenobi bad? I have seen exactly 0 SW content since watching Episode 7

At the end of the day, everything star wars is criticized because the fan base is so die hard. Just watch and form your own opinion. I didn't like the prequels or the sequels, but over time, the prequels grew on me. Most of the series Disney made I enjoyed, some are better than the others, but I didn't particularly dislike any of them (Acolyte was least enjoyable imo though). If I had to rate them, probably Mandalorian, Andor, Ahsoka, Book of Boba Fett, Kenobi then Acolyte. But again, everyone is different and has different opinions.

Clone Wars was also worth a watch imo. When it came out, I didn't watch because it seemed like a kids show, but I watched it recently and enjoyed it. Rebels was OK too, but again, keep in mind it was a kids show on the Disney channel. But the characters show up in the newer series' as well.

Was Kenobi bad?

Worst Star Wars TV show yet. Given the development hell it went through it's not really a surprise. There were things to like about it that didn't make it a complete waste of time but not many.

I have seen exactly 0 SW content since watching Episode 7

If you haven't seen them, then watch Rogue One, The Mandalorian and Andor - peak Star Wars.

Kenobi was incredibly stupid, I still think the book of boba fett was a worse show. Acolyte was slightly above kenobi.

I never watched Boba Fett because the concept was so stupid, I just couldn't. Retcon for profit.
