“Minorities” have also understood it.
Leslye Headland tried very hard to bring something new to the world of Star Wars, and it cost Lucasfilm and Disney a lot of money.
However, despite a multi-million dollar budget, the idea was not a success: “Acolyte” was not renewed for a second season.
While the synopsis was more than intriguing – mysterious events during the High Republic era – the show was doomed to failure, and the studio was not to blame for this.
On the contrary, leaders have put a lot of effort and, more importantly, resources into drawing attention to it.
According to reports on the internet, this cost 1 minute of screen time 630 thousand dollars (and this does not include the resources spent on marketing promotion).
The deal turned out to be unprofitable for both film companies, so a sequel and especially a trilogy were out of the question.
What’s also interesting is that according to analyst Jeff Snyder, the reason for the project’s sudden cancellation was “humiliatingly low ratings,” so in a sense, viewership contributed to its resounding failure.
This begs the question: what about the loyal fans who gave so much support to the showrunner and her creation?
They received a lot of sarcastic ridicule from another part of the fandom:
“To everyone screaming that the show was canceled because of the haters, here’s the sad truth for you. In fact, you either promoted the show but didn’t watch it, or you’re just a loud minority who can’t be outnumbered.”
