With Star Wars’ latest project The Acolyte getting cancelled earlier this week, talk has turned to the future of the franchise.
It was sad news this week after Lucasfilm revealed it would not be renewing The Acolyte for a second season.

This comes despite the latest Star Wars’ project reaching record breaking stream numbers.
As a result, fans both old and new are worried about the future of the long-running franchise following the cancellation of multiple shows over recent years.
The topic was brought up on Twitter when one user drew attention to the string of bad luck Star Wars’ fans have had recently.
“Lando is now a film, Rangers of the New Republic was canceled, Andor will end with S2, no Mando S4, no Boba Fett S2, no Acolyte S2, Skeleton Crew is a limited series.
Ahsoka is the only ongoing Star Wars show. No other live action series has been announced for development,” they wrote.
Although you would think that Star Wars is as popular as ever thanks to all the new shows over recent years, many of them do not last beyond one or two seasons.
As a result, fans are eager for change.
“Star Wars needs a break—just like Marvel Studios, which suffered from oversaturating Disney Plus with too many shows,” another user explained.
“They need to step back, rebuild hype, and release projects that truly excite the fandom whenever they’re announced.”
Despite some “fans” believing this string of bad luck is to do with “woke” stories, it is worth ignoring what they have to say.
However, it is a sad time for Star Wars’ fans that could all be solved with the upcoming release of Star Wars Outlaws.
The first ever open-world Star Wars game was a hit for our very own Sam Cawley.
His preview review read: “So far Star Wars Outlaws has completely blown me away.
I was thoroughly impressed with the level of detail Ubisoft has seemingly put into the game, and even more so at how seamless everything seemed to fit into the existing Star Wars canon.”
