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

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.
Ew.

Where did

Plagueis
appear?

Towards the middle of the last episode. He is the noseless individual on the nameless planet that is watching them leave. Which pretty much confirms the planet is the same one they are mining cortosis on in his eponymous novel, which must now be a must-read (but it’s really good and so that’s no loss).
It always shocks me how many masochists tend to flock around certain fandoms.
I didn’t get that far. Ep 1 and 2 were fine, Ep. 3 was a fucking trainwreck and I lost all interest after that.
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.
