The Acolyte was cancelled

Apparently, Season 2 of the outstanding Star Wars series "The Acolyte" was cancelled by Disney. In a previous post, I described why I liked Season 1. 

Was the show too "woke"? And by "woke" I mean trying to appeal to an educated and enlightened audience by moving beyond traditional tropes.

The auteur Leslye Headland conjured up a distinctive take on the Star Wars universe that you may like or not like, but it was not cookie-cutter.

The Acolyte

I am enjoying The Acolyte, a more nuanced and ambivalent view of "good" versus "evil" in the Star Wars universe.

One of the best scenes is when the "villain" Qimir strikes down after a fierce battle the acolyte of the "hero" Sol (and in the same moment revealing his identity), and Sol cries out: "How could you kill her she was only a child!"

Qimir cooly replies: "You are the one who brought her here."
