Despite getting cancelled, Manny Jacinto has said one his biggest goals before he dies would be to make The Acolyte season 2.
Towards the end of last month, despite setting up some pretty significant events for the world of Star Wars as a whole, Disney made the choice to cancel The Acolyte, meaning there won’t be a second season to even wrap up the several loose threads the first established. Thought you’d finally get to see Darth Plagueis in live-action after all these years? Nope! Which makes this a move that really shows how silly it is to try and world build to such a degree with far too many pieces of media these days. Still, it was clear that everyone that made The Acolyte really enjoyed working on it, including the cast, and during a panel at Dragon Con, Manny Jacinto made it clear how much he wants to keep working on it.
When asked by a fan what a personal life goal of his is, in particular something he wants to do before he dies, Jacinto simply responded “season 2 of The Acolyte.” This was met with a pretty big round of applause from the audience, showing that there is still at least some amount of hunger for the show to be continued.
