Amandla Stenberg as Osha and Manny Jacinto as Qimir in The Acolyte
The Big Picture The #RenewTheAcolyte campaign continues to gain momentum by the day. Less than a week since Disney made the controversial decision to cancel Leslye Headland's High Republic-set series, the original Change.org petition has already passed 50,000 signees as word continues to spread about the efforts to save the show. It's an emphatic show of support from fans, especially when considering only just over 700 people had signed within the first 24 hours.
Set in the final days of the High Republic, The Acolyte stands out from Star Wars's past projects in the eyes of fans for the period it presents, the murder mystery storyline it follows, and the diverse cast it features. By all measures, it pushed boundaries for what has typically been featured in a galaxy far, far away, embracing the darker side of the Force and even giving viewers a chance to see things from the Sith perspective.
If The Acolyte does get a miraculous reversal, it has plenty to build on with a second season. The finale saw Osha finally embrace the Dark Side and kill her master, setting her on an ominous path as she further explores her relationship with Qimir . Wherever she heads next is up in the air, especially after it was revealed that her twin sister Mae was not just a sister, but the other half of a Force dyad.
