The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon, use it, I am unarmed strike me down with it. Give in to your anger.

Disney Executive On Why ‘Star Wars’ Series ‘The Acolyte’ Was Canceled: “It Wasn’t Where We Needed It To Be Given The Cost Structure Of That Title”

The Acolyte was canceled after one season following an eight-episode run. The series got a 78% on Rotten Tomatoes but divided the Star Wars fan base, reflecting its overall viewership. Initially, the show got off to a strong start when it launched on June 4 with two episodes generating 4.8M views on its first day on the streamer to rank as the biggest series premiere on Disney+ this year. The tally rose to 11.1 million views globally after five days of streaming. The series debuted on Nielsen’s Top 10 originals chart in its premiere week at No. 7 (488 million minutes viewed), climbing to No. 6 the following week.
