As a seasoned gamer and Star Wars enthusiast, I must say I was intrigued by the premise of The Acolyte, especially given the rich lore that Star Wars offers. However, my excitement quickly waned as the series struggled to maintain viewership and, unfortunately, it seems we might never know how the story concludes.
As reported by Deadline, it appears that the series The Acolyte may have been canceled due to low viewership on streaming platforms. However, Disney has not officially verified this news as of yet.
Was The Force Too Weak In The Acolyte?
Initially, the premiere of the show garnered approximately 11.1 million views within five days, though this fell short compared to “Ahsoka.” However, it appeared that fans were intrigued by the latest Star Wars series. Unfortunately, viewership started to dwindle with each episode, and ultimately, the series ended up significantly underperforming.
For Disney, the primary challenge lay in the excessive production cost of the series, which amounted to approximately $180 million. Considering this substantial expense, it’s quite disheartening for Disney.
“Acolyte” Leads To Anger. Anger Leads To Hate.
Acolyte struggled due to some tough feedback from Star Wars enthusiasts. The novel idea about the Force, the slow-paced character growth, and the initially intriguing witch culture eventually came off as awkward. Many negative criticisms surfaced, causing an audience score of only 18% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It’s too bad we might not get to find out how the tale concludes. Still, I wonder, if the series isn’t well-liked, what’s the point in Disney continuing it?
Even Star Wars can fail sometimes.
