Disney+ Cancels Star Wars: The Acolyte
Disney+ has dropped Star Wars: The Acolyte is no more. It was supposed to dive into "The shenanigans of the dark side" as the High Republic era was wrapping up, but Disney put those plans on ice. This leaves everyone scratching their heads about what's gonna happen in this slice of the Star Wars cosmos.
Star Wars: The Acolyte aimed to offer a new angle on the franchise. It planned to spotlight the growth of dark-side powers and Sith secrets in a time period that movies and shows hadn't delved into before. Fans were pumped about this project, but Disney+ decided to cancel it. They said this was due to changes in strategy and a fresh look at what content they want on their streaming service.
