The Acolyte, the latest Star Wars series, has reportedly been canceled after a single season

Lucasfilm has reportedly decided to end its most recent Star Wars series, The Acolyte, after one season, according to Deadline.

The prequel series set about 100 years before the start of the Skywalker Saga debuted in June and ran for eight episodes, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger ending strongly hinting at more story to tell.

Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae led the series, and Manny Jacinto was revealed as the Sith apprentice of Sith lord Darth Plagueis (who made a cameo in the show’s finale, as did Yoda).

The Star Wars television pipeline will continue on with this December’s Skeleton Crew and next year’s second season of Andor. However, the story from The Acolyte appears to have come to a close.
