Drinker's Chasers - The Acolyte Season 2 Scrapped?

Rumours are doing the rounds that Star Wars The Acolyte on Disney+ is only getting one season, and that plans for further seasons have been scrapped after the massive backlash to the first trailer.

[@YegRon]

Imagine getting half a million dislikes on a trailer and being like “yeah, it’s just the trolls”. These people are completely out-of-touch.

[@constructionnetwork6858]

They will say ANYTHING to keep their jobs and continue getting paid... And lets be honest, so would you if you were in their shoes, considering the RIDICULOUS wages they are getting.

[@flaminghead1va]

It WOULD be even more than 500k, but most people don't care enough to watch [the trailers], much less hit the dislike button on it 🙄🫢

[@kri249]

They have blamed the "trolls" for every projected of theirs that's failed. At some point you have to acknowledge that maybe these supposed trolls are actually your customer base trying to communicate to you.

[@AlienShine]

They're not; it's very intentional.

[@incurableromantic4006]

They've come to believe their own propaganda that anyone who ventures any unfavourable view on something they hold dear is merely a "troll". They don't believe there *are* any legitimate criticism of anything they say or do: and so they keep doing the same thing again, and again.

​@@aahzmandiaz2767 I only started noticing modern fan-baiting starting about 10 years ago. When GamerGate kicked off that's when it went into overdrive. Bioware tripped over itself on social media to spew bile over its fans and slap pride stickers on everything. Bioware already wasn't doing well but they haven't produced a single successful game since that era, and I'm firmly convinced it was them being so aggressively anti-gamergate combined with collapsing into EAs anus that made it so they're now basically defunct.

I'm amazed they were even considering a second season before the first one is even out. I kinda miss the old days where they would see how the show was received BEFORE going all in.

[@archstanton9073]

Shows also had 20+ episodes a season. With 10 episodes or less these days, they need to make those decisions quicker.

[@chrismcintyre5445]

Back when they knew their business ran on customer interaction with their product. When they would never spit on their customers, attack them, call them racist and sexist for not watching their products. Hollywood is a woke cult infestation pit now, and anybody in that cult always loses any sensibilities and intelligence. Hollywood no longer cares about their audiences viewpoints.

[@Uzarran]

@@archstanton9073 However, those 10 episodes cost way more than their 20 ep predecessors. A single episode of She-Hulk cost $25 million, almost the entire budget of a single season of Star Trek TNG. With that much money on the line, they need to be a little more restrained with their decision making.

[@user-qf1bb7nm8s]

Knghts of the Old Republic 2 already told this story about the meaning of “good” and the meaning of “bad” and how being “good” can corrupt just as much as being “bad”. Disney Star Wars does not have the talent to tackle a story as complex as who gets to wield power.

[@Ujemaima]

SWTOR 2 is my favourite Star Wars story for this reason. All about morally grey characters and potential redemption. I've always wanted to see it as a TV series, but the current Disney/Star Wars execs would completely butcher it. Such a shame.

[@hisairness5628]

Blaming the trolls for the lack of an audience is incredibly dishonest. If they had a good show people would be watching.

I watched 4K77 the other day. It was a window into an era when I still cared.

Star Trek had three seasons, a cartoon series and three movies. Star Wars had three movies, Ewoks, and Droids. And the comicbooks and novels of both Trek and Wars were wildly imaginative and made their universes bigger and more interesting than many of the subsequent films and TV series did.

I dunno. The Phantom Menace trailer is one of the best trailers of all time. The movie itself is bad but the trailer is a work of art in and of itself.

[@samuelmyth8392]

Really? For me it was TLJ. The movie was bad but the trailers were gold. Got me super hyped

[@tylergoodman3560]

I didn't think there was a need for a season 2 anyway. 🎉

[@awesomehpt8938]

Yaasss! Yaasss!

My feelings for Star Wars can be summed up as follows: we had a wonderful wedding and many years of happiness. Than we had a falling out with the prequels but we held on. Than came the sequels and that is when we divorced. Now I check on her profile every now and then just to find out that she joined scientology.

Soft canceling has been standard practice in comics for a long time. "Oh we weren't canceled due to low sales it was always meant to be 7 issues."

[@coolwinterstorm5803]

they cant scrap season 1?

[@chaosiscoming9184]

No.

[@TwistedReality13]

​@chaosiscoming9184 This is the second comment I've seen you replying too defending this slop. 😂

[@discobroccoli198]

@@TwistedReality13 He just said the word “no”…

[@user-zn5qm2yq9h]

Too late. They've already released one trailer and announced a release date. To quote The Critical Drinker: But just like a post-Kabob turd, it had to come out at some point...

[@guillaumeinjjuz1744]

Can we get a male focus starwars for once? Its being more than a decade of only female starwars stuff

[@emhu2594]

watch the originals. and andor. yall got the only good ones, wtf are you complaining.

[@damitcarl3942]

Makes you wonder what blackmail the director had to force their hand... Harvey's personal assistant likely knew a LOT of the inner workings.

[@bandit6272]

Channeling Jeremy Clarkson: "Oh no, anyways..."

[@fuferito]

I hope this doesn't effect _Andor;_ the only decent show in the franchise.

"Am I really that out of touch?" "No. It's the fans who are wrong."

[@MissPerriwinkle]

some weird shenanigans goin on at disney : spending 180 million per episode? total bs.

[@moseshorowitz4345]

8:30 - They would never go KOTOR because 1) they would have to live up to the fan expectations, and 2) they would have to pay someone royalties, which they hate (think of Allen Dean Foster).

[@gsleo2396]

Why does the woman in the thumbnail have the sweet baby logo on her forehead? 😂

[@stephenwoodward1895]

"homework the movie" is a great way to describe these.

[@lareolanKFP]

I haven't watched anything after The Last Jedi. After that I was done with Star Wars, wouldn't even watch it for free, let alone give Disney+ money for a subscription or pay for a movie in a theater. You're absolutely right about the apathy. People say Endor and Mandalorian were good... I couldn't care less.

[@sicor94]

8:24 NO! They should absolutely NOT visit the knights of the old republic era! They would completely butcher the story of my boy Revan and his space adventures with his Jedi babysitter!

[@Biostasis5x7]

Nah. Let them turn Revan into a black male lesbian who is just a misunderstood hero-villain. Who gives a fuck?

[@sollytom6266]

The last time I was excited for Star Wars was Rogue One. I watched The Lost Jedi in case it was an improvement over The Farce Awakens. Laugh at me, I deserve it.

[@mcblaggart8565]

I remember the last Star Wars trailer that got me excited. It was Phantom Menace.

[@Dartanyoogles]

Exactly. It's been all downhill since then. These diehard prequel defenders are delusional. The only good Star Wars movies are: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Period.

[@videowarrior82]

I like and miss episodic TV like the good ol' days of good TV.

[@jjforcebreaker]

I'm 100% for 5 seasons or more. The more money Disney burns, the faster it'll implode and cease to exist in the current, rotten megacorporation form

[@emeraldsayles8025]

Fanfiction is hollywood's new script! No, that's an insult to fanfiction. At least fanfics have some people who are way more interested in the different fandoms of shows that they're not familiar with!

[@joshuapatrick682]

If anyone “dislikes” something but still watches it, then they have lost.

[@user-uh3sf3mv9d]

"You guys are all excited for the acolyte, aren't you?" You all will unironically make a ton of cash off of this shows abject awfulness.

[@kaiju115]

Oh no…….anyway

[@andym1134]

I love how these film makers will blame every single thing apart from the actual issue that is causing the problem. 🙄😒

[@manonymous4737]

Shows didn’t always have a storyline. Think about Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, Tales of the Gold Monkey.

[@JohnDoe-sr1dd]

Weinstein acolyte's the Acolyte is going to be as successful as Harvey's legal defense.

[@bruceleeroy2050]

Just scrap Star Wars lol ! It’s over, been over, put the fork in it 💯

[@mikeandhev]

Lesley Headland - the farce is strong with this one.

[@meatpuppet5036]

There's an important distinction between Disney calling negative reactions "aggressive trolling" and actually believing it. If they really believe that, then they'll never break their own cycle, and continue chasing the tumblr audience until the last buck is gone.

[@robb037]

i'm sad "the Wacolyte or the Wokealyte" never caught on
