'Star Wars: The Acolyte' has been canceled

When I saw the teaser to Force Awakens I was generally excited. I honestly thought Disney might be doing a good job with this.<p>It comes out. After watching the first 10 minutes I realised its just a remake of new hope. I guess shuffling characters and renaming planets would fool us. Oh, but don&#x27;t worry... the starkiller is LIKE the deathstar, but bigger!<p>Other than Force Awakens and Rogue One, I have not seen any other Star Wars from Disney. If I did I honestly cannot remember it! I only watched Rogue One because a friend came round with it one day. It was &quot;ok&quot; but certainly not deserving of any praise. When I hear people say Rogue One is the best Disney Star Wars... it really does not say much about the others.<p>As for the TV Series, I have no interest in them, either. While I hear Mandalorian is good, I just dont want Disney to claim my view count.<p>As for the Acolyte, the clips I saw on youtube look really poor.<p>For context, I am very fortunate to grow up with the original trilogy.<p>As for the prequel trilogy, I have a love&#x2F;hate relationship with it.<p>As for the sequel trilogy, or anything that came out of Disney, is non canon in my eyes.

&gt; The Acolyte series introduced some very compelling new characters and lore to the Star Wars canon<p>That’s debatable if the “compelling” characters couldn’t even last more than a single season.

Oh. That&#x27;s too bad. I really liked The Acolyte. I would have liked to know how it turned out.<p>I think it helps that I have zero experience with any of the formerly-canon High Republic stuff. I have no expectations to undercut.<p>I liked the characters, the writing, and the performances. It had some of the best combat that I&#x27;ve seen in Star Wars -- in the sense that it had fewer jump cuts and more letting the actors do the work. I especially enjoyed Manny Jacinto in the role of Darth Whatever; it was such an idiosyncratic choice.<p>I have some quibbles with the plotting -- they were trying to hide a secret that didn&#x27;t merit being hidden, and the overall arc was pretty predictable. But that&#x27;s something I&#x27;m used to ignoring.<p>I guess it must have been expensive to produce, and it looked it. I don&#x27;t really get the economics of any of those shows, since the entire thing is on an all-you-can-eat pricing.
