For these of you questioning if there’s been any motion on a second season of The Acolyte, sequence showrunner Lesley Headland has stated she’s heard “nothing” from Lucasfilm or Disney.
She was requested about the way forward for the sequence throughout an interview with Leisure Weekly, and whereas she has teased concepts for Season 2, she explains why she must take a break from Star Wars.
Headland defined: “It’s important to take a break, particularly after one thing like this. I do not even know what number of years my mind has been going, ‘Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, Acolyte, Acolyte, Acolyte’ – simply continually fixing issues, continually enthusiastic about it.
“It is vitally bizarre to now be in a spot the place I do not want to do this. I all the time say to budding writers, ‘Crucial factor that you are able to do is sit round and do nothing. As a result of the second you begin to manufacture a narrative, you are going to get wired and the story cannot begin that manner.'”
She added: “My mind continues to be doing it. It is virtually like when you’re working, you’ll be able to’t simply cease, cannot shut off.”
So, technically, she may simply soar proper again into it if Lucasfilm gave her the go to begin creating it. In the meantime, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have been within the Star Wars zone ever since they launched The Mandalorian.
As you’ve seen, although, they’ve even struggled with features of Star Wars storytelling. However, it’s all a part of the Disney machine to maintain pumping out Star Wars content material and in that course of, the inventive groups they bring about in are going to win some and lose some.
It’s simply the character of the franchise beast.
