Both the TV and theatrical sides ofStar Warsremain pretty nebulous withThe Acolytes discontinuation.

Why shouldStar Warsfans get excited for announcements that almost inevitably will fade into the ether?

Why invest in a series that can be immediately dumped after its first season?

Especially if its not directly connected to the immediate impetus of the franchises current fixation onThe Mandalorian?

I think Leslye [Headland,The Acolytes showrunner] has struggled a little bit with it.

I think a lot of the women who step intoStar Warsstruggle with this a bit more.

And again, theres similarly little doubt that much of that future will remain in flux.
