Summary Star Wars has decided not to renew The Acolyte for a second season, but it isn't because the show 'went woke.' The Acolyte was the most recent addition to Star Wars movies and TV shows, and although it thrillingly introduced a new era of the Star Wars timeline on-screen, it was met with very mixed reception from the beginning. In fact, many of The Acolyte's controversies began before the show even premiered.
13 It Wasn't Clear Whose Story The Acolyte Was Close The Acolyte had a very promising start. Initially, it seemed to be a Star Wars mystery centered on twin sisters—one on the dark side, and one on the light. Although the franchise clearly already has very prominent twins as main characters, this felt genuinely new, as the story would presumably see the sisters in opposition to one another. In part, this was true.
To put that into perspective, in its eight-episode season, The Acolyte dedicated a quarter of its episodes just to revealing what had taken place on Brendok. In a show that was trying to accomplish so much with so many different characters, it simply didn't make sense for this much time to be dedicated to this reveal.
