From its inception, Disney Plus has made Star Wars a focal point for creating unique and original content, which has led to some fantastic television shows. They have focused on different timelines, some bringing in Star Wars characters that people know and love, while others have featured more obscure or completely new names.

This might come as a surprise, considering The Acolyte was canceled after just one season despite being pitched as a multi-season show. The reason for its cancelation was put down to poor viewership, with the final episode thought to have received the lowest viewership figure for a Star Wars finale at the time.

After four younglings discover a derelict spaceship buried beneath the surface of their home planet, they find themselves wrapped in an interstellar adventure involving lost planets, deadly secrets, and dangerous pirates.

Despite dominating the top charts on Disney Plus, the Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm still didn't manage to grab the top spot on the card.

Analysis of a year of streaming TV habits backs up fans who think the Star Wars series was canceled too soon. It appears unnecessary complaints from that small but loud section of toxic Star Wars fandom may have influenced Lucasfilm to cut short the life of The Acolyte too soon.

The Acolyte, it turns out, was Disney Plus's second most-watched series of the year, and it still ended up cancelled. Why?
