They cancelled
#TheAcolyte
August 27th.
It’s October 3rd and online editorials are still writing about it. Because the majority of people who actually watched the show, know it was BS to cancel it.

How many hours you need to be a cop? In California you need like 700 hours of academy training. Conversely, in order to be a licensed cosmetologist in the same state; you need over 1600 hours of training.
Why the fuck my barber more trained than a cop?
The way his movements become so creepy and robotic when he has the cortosis helm on
And then I remember he’s essentially blind with that on and he’s purely feeling out with the Force

the most important reason to

is that I want to know his real name ok, he can't be named just The Stranger and I need to hear Osha calling him his real name

I don’t want everything to be tied to the Skywalker saga or set in the post empire era of Star Wars
The acolyte was fresh and new and exciting because i didn’t have to worry about the Skywalker family at some point in the story
The cancellation of

has damaged my enjoyment of Star Wars as a whole. Anything even the slightest bit new or interesting is now subject to cancellation unless it appeals to the worst of the fanbase. Find myself largely indifferent to upcoming projects. Shame.
I’ve never seen Korean artists make art for anything in Star Wars the way they’ve taken to the acolyte
Speaking as a Filipino, I don’t know any other Star Wars thing that’s made us to proud and happy to watch something with our kababayan
Don’t even get me started on the women
@richbrian
Idk how you livin Brian but there’s been a lot of young people lost in the entertainment industry and we just don’t want the same thing happening to you, ya know. Take care dude, make sure you get your rest n stuff.
This is a reason why we’re fighting so hard for The Acolyte
It’s not just some Star Wars show
It’s people’s livelihoods, people’s hopes and dreams, their passion to represent their people onscreen and inspire the next generation to become leading actors in their own works.
"When we think about - we've come from 'Asian gangster no.3' or 'guy being shot'. Where we were 10 years ago compared to now - there's been a lot of firsts. First Asian superhero. First Asian Daddy Sith lord, with the biceps💪. And that's great progress."

And when Qimir directly quotes Plagueis by saying “Remember why the Sith are more powerful than the Jedi, because we are not afraid to feel…” right before he leans in to kiss Osha in season 2 of
#TheAcolyte
, what then, huh?!?!?
No but really
#RenewTheAcolyte
because we need more pieces of media where we aren’t forced to look through a lens of “who’s good? Who’s bad?” And instead perpetuate the concept that everybody, Jedi AND sith included, are not all good and not all bad. Star Wars fans deserve that.
So many posts like this and yet people will STILL reject the notion that The Acolyte suffered greatly from online campaign of hatred and vitriol by a subsect of “fans” who don’t actually like anything Star Wars anymore.

A lot of people have a latex allergy or sensitivity too so it’s important to be with someone who’ll take that into account rather than just getting something convenient
Let’s not forget that the acolyte ran during the middle of the fucking Olympics
So these numbers are even more impressive when you take that into account. Disney cancelling it was incredibly stupid.

The Acolyte had a viewership premiere in the same vein as Percy Jackson, even over Agatha, but tell me again how The Acolyte is supposedly a flop.
All y’all do is move the goal post for your own biases.

But “nobody watched it” right? So how could it possibly be that editorials and media sites keep writing about this show 🤔

Sometimes I think about the ultra rich nepo families in the Philippines like the Marcos and the Ayalas and I just get so mad. Rich dipshits who get their rich kids to take over the government positions to continue to keep the money and resources that made their families rich.
@mimithenerd_
Especially if you’re black and wanna cosplay anime things; y’all get shitted on for doing costumed renditions of drawn, not real, cartoon characters. Shits not right.
Funny how The Acolyte paid out the most to production staff/crew in any Star Wars production made in the UK but they’re spinning it as a bad thing….like oh no the budget for this Star Wars show owned by a billion dollar plus company is going to paying people :/
All these fucking articles about movie and show budgets is pissing me off.
Like a lay person has any fucking concept what kind of costs go into a production.
This is nothing more than chum in the water. Why the fuck are we even reporting on the budgets?

"Viewers loved this show. Unfortunately, the hate campaign behind it was as unending as ever, which did this unpredictable and fresh take on Jedi and Sith a great disservice. The Acolyte opens up so many new possibilities for storytelling going forward."
The official Star Wars Brazil account is ignoring The Acolyte in new posts on Instagram. The series was left out of the chronological order of the SW universe and the helmet of the character The Stranger was left out of the list of helmets used by the characters in the franchise.
The constant stream of hateful replies underneath tweets like this about The Acolyte is hilarious because I don’t think our verve for protecting and uplifting this show and its actors would not be as bold without the antis hatred.
The hate fuels our love, actually.
EVERY SINGLE DAY I read tweets from MULTIPLE people who 1) finally watched
#TheAcolyte
, 2) loved it, and 3) can't believe it was cancelled.
LET YOUR AUDIENCE GROW. For as many people who "hate" a show before it drops, more will love it in the months (and months) after.
Let’s imagine for a moment Disney actually cared about
#TheAcolyte
and made merch for it the way they did for Mandalorian
What would you want?
Ill start: Unknown Planet Cave Lego Set, Qimir’s lightsabers, PIP robot toy, Stranger Helmet coffee mug, Skura & Bazil stuffy
So which is it Disney/Lucasfilm? Are yall moving away from tv shows to focus on movies, or are yall really already developing a spinoff for a limited series that isn’t even out yet despite having cancelled one of the hottest and most talked about shows in The Acolyte?

This man himself cried on camera about the deepfake Luke Skywalker
So him trying to critique Amandla like she was being hysterical is so fucking rich coming from him.
It’s also illegal under flag laws to wear the American flag but they still think kneeling for the national anthem is bad so I wouldn’t put it past them to read
This is very weird and you should not do something like this
Idk why I have to explain why pocket watching is weird but it just is
You don’t know if these people have already donated for hurricane relief funds
How much have YOU donated since you’re so high and mighty?

Qimir is a junior partner at the firm, but secretly wants to start up his own practice but needs a pupil: enter Osha, fresh out of law school but brilliant and fierce.
I’m telling you, someone at LFL fucking HATES Leslye and the acolyte and are doing everything in their power to drown out the voices all calling for its renewal
Why the fuck would this get out when that show was always supposed to be one and done

The cast list dropped even before the series was out, and when the straight white dudebros who think they own Star Wars saw there wasn’t a straight white dude to be the hero in this one, they wrote it off and never gave it a chance. Also the show running is lesbian so it’s “woke”

@starwars
It’s almost as if…..if you let a show grow, and find its audience, you can capitalize on the business that follows? Idk maybe Disney doesn’t realize that because they left SO MUCH money on the table. First off, Why tf aren’t there ACOLYTE LEGO SETS???
@Rad_Braybury
And the one to mention “a fire” being a little Black girl, like Osha once was, was not a random choice. They were setting this up the whole damn time.
NOBODY should be rationing insulin because it’s so damn expensive. NOBODY should be forced to rely on go fund me accounts to pay for their exorbitant hospital bills. And the fact this is happening in our country is abhorrent.
@WONF4W
Kenny can say “it’s not the elite against CM punk” and encourage fans to let it go, but when his teammates come out with the first BTE episode highlighting the part where people are screaming FUCK CM PUNK, the message seems skewed. So which is it, you want us to let go or

Notice how a lot of these commenters are women
It’s not surprising when you introduce a hint of ROMANCE, where men are TENDER and SUPPORTIVE, a large swath of the population who genuinely like that kind of stuff……actually watch it.

Not just cancel, they ripped it from existence. Horrible, terrible practice. Even if there wasn’t gonna be a season 2, they should’ve kept it on streaming the bastards.
@REDSEASHAWTY
That dumb ass boutique in Beverly Hills? Ugh. There was also that graf spot you could take a selfie at somewhere in LA that was like only reserve for people with a certain number of followers 🙄
I don’t think you understood the show lol
Qimir didn’t just get naked to “seduce a girl”. He showed osha he’s completely vulnerable and she’s in control of the situation. He’s also ATTRACTED to her. Idk if you’ve ever liked someone but you tend to wanna be around them a lot.
@CzerSalazar
Well acted but terribly written. his genius temptation is just getting naked to seduce a girl....then being led around by her and playing second fiddle to her
He's also a complete moron due to the writing. Bruh can send 7 jedi flying with a force blast...but never uses it again

I’ve never seen more non-Star Wars fans try SW with

than anything else from the franchise. You don’t need to watch anything else from SW to get into the show.
Disney is leaving so much money on the table by quashing the momentum of season 1.
