The Acolyte season 2 hasn’t been confirmed by Star Wars just yet, but fans are campaigning hard for more.

spoiler

The finale recently hit Disney Plus, and it saw Osha join Qimir after killing Sol, Mae have her memory wiped, and cameos from both Darth Plagueis and Grand Master Yoda.

Naturally, then, it seems there’s still plenty of story left to tell, and showrunner Leslye Headland has already spoken about having ideas for the future. So, Star Wars fans have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #RenewTheAcolyte to try and get the show brought back for another season.

    4 was pretty boring, then 5 was some of the best combat and vibe we’ve ever seen. 6 was meh. 7 was all flashback mostly meh. 8 was okay, with an ending that didn’t really answer many questions and just kind of left things too open. They were definitely banking on a season 2

      Which means it should have been a movie. So many of these feel like they’re stretching one of the planned “Stories” movies into 8 episodes because they panicked and cancelled all the movies after Solo/RoS. And now they’re scared that people aren’t engaging with the shows because nobody making them cares about or has authority over the story they’re telling. They’re just checking boxes on a list.

      The exceptions are Andor, Mandalorian, and Asoka. But Asoka relies on the audience caring about / having seen hundreds of previous hours of TV and Mandalorian has continuously gotten watered down since the first season.
