Although it has been officially deleted, the phenomenon around the Acolito is still alive … and it could have a second possibility
High galactic question
Although Disney rarely announces the direct cancellation of a series, with Self -cable They made an exception. Many blame the harsh criticisms in social networks and negative reviews that seemed more guided by disputes than solid topics. But according to official statements, The real reason was the high cost of production Faced with a performance that, well, did not reach what was expected.
The fun thing is that the numbers say something else. According to a recent report by Parrot analysisThe series maintains a level of demand for the 20.4 times above the average of the US marketpositioning it in the “exceptional” series, which barely belongs 2.7% of the available content. Yes, above an Ahsoka, Boba sftt or even Obi-Wan Kenobi. Alone Skeleton crew y The Mandalorian They manage to overcome it, and it doesn’t matter how little.
With this type of data in hand, there are few who start wondering if Disney+ could rethink your decision. Although, for now, it seems more for the collective desire than a specific plan.
A secret continuation?
The voices shoot when the name of Darth Plagueiswhose final cliffhanger has left more than one with his mouth open. Have they really closed such a juicy plot? Well, no.
Even if Alan Bergman himself, Co -Co -Director of Disney Entertainment, said this “We were happy with the performance of the Accommodation, but not enough to justify a second season with that cost”The truth is that they could now opt for a thinner strategy: Bring back to the characters or continue the story in a different series.
The well -known @mytimetoshineh scooper released the bomb: Three new live-action series of Star Wars are developing. It is not yet known what they are, but one of them could serve perfectly as a bridge between Self -cable y The ghost threat. A fertile and not very explored land in the official canon that could give a lot of game.
A protagonist who broke molds
One of the aspects that attracted more attention Self -cable era He is the protagonist, an ex Padawan This investigates a series of murders while dragging a dark past linked to strength. Strongly interpreted by Amandla Stenberg, the character commissioned an approach radically different to the classic heroes of Star Wars. Far from the traditional epic, its history has opted for the gray and interior moral conflicts, a territory little explored in the saga.
His personal journey moved away from the typical hero’s path to enter a more introspective narrativeWhere philosophical questions about good and evil weighed as much as laser sabers. This originality was, for many, one of the great successes of the series and could be One of the keys of his return In future projects of the Galactic Universe.
The streaming of Star Wars In full evolution
In parallel, it is known Ahsoka I already have a green traffic light for its second season e Skeleton crew It takes shape like the new battle horse Lucasfilm. In the meantime, The Mandalorian It is still the jewel of the crown, even if in time other titles such as Self -cable They end up winning their place in the Pantheon of the series most loved by fans.
What is clear is that Disney+ faces a crossroads. On the one hand, You must continue to expand the Star Wars universe without saturating it Nor raise the budgets too much. On the other, he cannot ignore the public response when a “dead” series remains one of the most requested.
And for fans, this means only one thing: There is still hope of seeing the characters of the acolytes face the dark side.
