Star Wars: The Acolyte faced the wrath of the toxic side of the Star Wars fandom and attacked the show’s cast and fans. I was also attacked. Not only that, but Acolyte was review-bombed to death, and let’s not forget about those clickbait YouTube videos that are still floating around the internet. However, despite the challenges, The Acolyte Campaign is still going strong. The Acolyte Campaign had its first interview with Into A Larger World, and Rebecca Henderson, the wife of Lesley Headland, voiced her support via Instagram stories, and we can’t forget those beautiful New York City Billboards. Fast forward to Star Wars Celebration Japan, which started on April 18, 2025. Manny Jacinto attended Celebration and was surrounded by love from fans. Despite what they would tell you on the internet, fans of The Acolyte shouted season 2! season 2!, meaning people want a season 2. The question on many fans' minds is whether Disney and Lucasfilm will take into account the passionate feedback from their audience and decide to renew "The Acolyte" for another season, and if Amandla Stenberg would return after the horrendous treatment she received online.
