I try to console myself by thinking: Well, those of us who write fanfics will finally hold up a part of the fandom. But why did it have to be this way? 💔 #SaveTheAcolyte
okay fellas. It's been two weeks since the announcement that The Acolyte was canceled. While the show faced its share of backlash, it managed to cultivate a dedicated fanbase in its short run and many are still fighting for its renewal. There's currently a petition circulating to save the series, which has already gathered 60,000+ signatures. You can add your support by signing it [here].
It's important to remember that this isn't just about saving a TV show—it's about sending a message. The bigots and toxic fans who opposed The Acolyte from the beginning shouldn’t have the final say. Star Wars deserves a space for fresh ideas and original characters, and this show represented just that. By supporting this cause, we’re advocating for more inclusive and innovative storytelling in a galaxy far, far away. Let's make sure that voices promoting diversity and creativity are heard loud and clear. Please sign the petition and help spread the word!
The show also built a dedicated fandom on Twitter. We're currently using the hashtags #AcolyteS2, #StreamTheAcolyte, #SaveTheAcolyte, and #RenewTheAcolyte to keep the show trending. If you're on twitter we encourage you to join the conversation about the show and use these tags to help spread the word and keep the momentum going.
We finally got something new, something fresh and they decided to cancel it because of fucking nostalgia-obsessed and racists dumbasses.
What can we do to bring the show back ?
No but hear me out (I’m delusional)
Online Petition like Change.org
Social Media campaigns: Make a trending Hashtag for example #SaveTheAcolyte #RenewTheAcolyte just like what they did for the Shows Lucifer and Brooklyn 99 (#SaveLucifer, #SaveB99)
This is what I can think for now, if you have more ideas I will happily add them.
