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+.

    The writing was terrible, the acting was subpar, the action scenes were terribly directed, and the story was one trope after another. After I was done with the first episode I laughed out loud at how bad it was. Maybe I’m too picky with what I watch now, but this was some CW level bullshit. Not even good CW. Like Arrow Season 4 CW.

      I thought the Sith character was the most compelling Star Wars villain since Vadar. Speaking of, the depiction of the Jedi order gives more pathos to Anikin’s fall than all three prequels.

      I once got into a fistfight with a friend because he said Boba Fett’s rocket could take down my ATAT. As I’ve matured, I take the particulars of the lore way less seriously. Besides, of all the people who’ve told Star Wars stories, George Lucas isn’t in the top 5.
