Star Wars: Breaking Down the Acolyte Cancellation and What It Means for the Galaxy

Star Wars: Breaking Down the Acolyte Cancellation and What It Means for the Galaxy
It's a chunky episode this week as we dive deep into the rationale behind the cancellation of The Acolyte and the weirdness of fandom that comes with Star Wars. We also chat on the Skeleton Crew trailer, a very rare Boba Fett toy that went for crazy money at auction plus a very scary if not cool bit of SW merch to hang on your wall. It's all here and more in episode 229 of SoR.Takeaways:The podcast discusses the cancellation of 'The Acolyte' season two, highlighting viewer engagement issues. Jude Law's character in 'Skeleton Crew' is theorized to be tied to Jorus C'baoth. The hosts express mixed feelings about the portrayal of Jedi in the Star Wars universe. They emphasize the need for standalone stories without the pressure of connecting to existing lore. A major point of discussion is the negative impact of toxic fandom on creators. The hosts believe it's important to enjoy Star Wars content without overthinking connections to past narratives. The news stories from around the galaxy that we discussed on this episode...Incredibly rare Star Wars Boba Fett action figure sells for record-breaking £1 million at auction | Daily Mail OnlineStar Wars Theory Reveals Jude Law's Mystery Jedi Is A Classic Legends Villain Who Completes Thrawn's Canon StorySkeleton Crew | Official Trailer | Streaming December 3 on Disney+ - YouTubeFirst Look at Regal Robot's Wampa Screen-Sized Wall Bust, Available August 27th - Jedi News‘The Acolyte’ Canceled at Disney+About Spark of Rebellion:This is Spark of Rebellion, the weekly Star Wars podcast for casual fans and veterans alike.We are your hosts, Garry and Mark and every single Saturday we release a brand new episode bringing you the latest news, reviews & discussion on all things Star Wars.
