However, as Supreme Leader Snoke himself says, where darkness rises, light will meet it. Fans of The Acolyte have recently taken to social media to voice their displeasure at the show being dropped by Lucasfilm, campaigning for it to continue. This comes after the “Renew The Acolyte” trend that did the rounds on Twitter/X shortly after The Acolyte season 1’s ending. Now, fans are rejoicing in their enjoyment of the show or even simply their interest in seeing how season 2 could have improved upon The Acolyte‘s first outing.
The finale of The Acolyte was tailor made to setup a S2 and the fans truly deserve to see where it would have gone. Ignore the people who don’t want it. WE WANT IT. Who’s with me? ✨ #SaveTheAcolyte pic.twitter.com/q3mnNneQQG — Darth Thunder âš¡ (@XDarthThunderX) August 20, 2024
Naturally, the main talking point surrounds the lingering plot threads The Acolyte teased for season 2, from Darth Plagueis and Yoda to the relationship between Osha and Qimir.

Others have tried to keep the level of positivity high, asking fellow fans to reply with their favorite moments from The Acolyte season 1 while voicing support for season 2.
Causal reminder that the lightsaber choreography of the Acolyte is some of the best we’ve had in decades. It was that good ✨ #SaveTheAcolyte pic.twitter.com/3aXtE8eDiO — Darth Thunder âš¡ (@XDarthThunderX) August 20, 2024
More highlights of season 1 were The Acolyte episode 5’s lightsaber fights. Those supporting the trend claim they are the best Star Wars action sequences since the prequels, and that they deserve to be improved upon in The Acolyte season 2.
You left Hayden Christensen, Ahmed Best, Jake Lloyd, John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran, Moses Ingram, & now Amandla Stenberg to fend for themselves without your support & your cancelation of The Acolyte is telling us who you rather support. Do better, Lucasfilm. #SaveTheAcolyte https://t.co/zuaDLRLf83 — ABEL 💔 #SAVETHEACOLYTE (@Sungetsu15) August 20, 2024
In the wake of the show’s cancelation, The Acolyte cast member Amandla Stenberg has been receiving inexcusable hatred on her social media accounts. Fans have thus called out Lucasfilm for failing to support prior actors who received similar hatred, insisting that saving The Acolyte will show more support for those willing to be respectful to Star Wars actors than those who are not.
The Acolyte Has A Very Vocal Fanbase
Star Wars’ High Republic Show Has Its Dedicated Section Of Fans
The posts highlighted, as well as the tens of thousands of others online, prove how vocal The Acolyte‘s fanbase is. This positivity is undoubtedly pleasing to witness, given the negativity that tends to impact most franchises of late concerning online discourse. Clearly, The Acolyte season 1 resonated with many people. These people are now voicing their support for the show, attempting to change Lucasfilm’s mind about greenlighting The Acolyte season 2. Admittedly, this is sadly unlikely, as ratings and exposure dictate the filmmaking business more than anything else recently. That said, if fans of the show keep showing their support, who knows what could happen?
