Last night marked the final episode of season one of The Acolyte, bringing the saga of Osha, Mae, and Master Sol to a close. While this series more than explored the Dark Side of the Force, it might have wasted Darth Plagueis the Wise for a few seconds of screen time.

‘Star Wars’ Cancels Darth Plagueis After ‘Acolyte’ Fails

Actors might make them believable, but nothing makes a character iconic like a cool design. While there are plenty of memorable designs amongst the Star Wars greats, there hasn’t been a villain as eye-catching as Darth Maul since he first graced the screen in 1999. The Sith apprentice stands apart with his multicolored skin, vicious horns, unmatched grimace, and double-ended saber.

For seven seasons and 133 episodes, Star Wars: The Clone Wars cemented itself as one of the most impressive pieces of Star Wars canon ever made. Released during a time when the prequels were still mostly punching bags and Star Wars as a whole was on a steep decline, The Clone Wars proved that the series still had gas left in the tank.

Star Wars is going back in time once again, this time to do some quick retcons on the origins of Rey Skywalker (Daisy Ridley). The Walt Disney Company is currently in need of some big financial gains, given that it can’t rely on Disney World to bring in the bulk of its income forever. Among its major IP assets, things have not been as smooth as they once were. Pixar managed to make over a billion dollars with Inside Out 2, but it can no longer rely on Disney Pictures, Indiana Jones, or the Marvel Cinematic like it once could.

Plenty of Netflix shows have ended before the creators had a chance to wrap up their stories, but The Society was a unique case. Following the successful debut in May 2019, the teen sci-fi drama was promptly renewed for a second season in July of the same year.
