Canceled Star Wars Show was Everything Disney was Scared to Let the Sequel Trilogy Be

Although The Acolyte wouldn’t primarily explore the political side of the Star Wars universe, it would have focused on a character’s potential turn to the dark side. It would have built upon the unfinished stories of characters like Ben Solo and Rey from the sequel trilogy, creating something fresh and original—something that apparently worried Disney. The show would have presented the Jedi not as the heroes we typically see, but as a powerful, unchecked system—almost like a delusional cult—masquerading as a religion.
