Acolyte star posts candid reaction to show cancellation, but leaves door open for 'changes in the future'

Warning: SPOILERS for sidekick I’m ahead!

Earlier this week, just over two months later sidekick premiered for those with a Disney+ subscription, and a month after the season 1 finale aired, news broke that Star Wars The TV show was cancelled. While the news has caused some cringeworthy trolling, there are also many who are disappointed by the sidekick is not returning for season 2. Lee Jung-jae, who played Master Sol, was among those surprised by the news, but hopes that corner of the Star Wars franchise could be explored again someday.

Obviously even if sidekick Season 2 had been ordered, Lee would not have been involved in it, given that Sol was killed by Amandla Stenberg’s Osha in the final episode. However, he was looking forward to seeing what happened next with the surviving characters, telling EW:

Personally speaking, I really enjoyed Leslye’s writing. I thought she was a great writer and director who was very talented at storytelling as well as creating characters and creating meaningful structures within the story. So personally, I was looking forward to seeing a season 2 with her at the helm. To hear the news, I was quite surprised and personally. … Honestly, I hope that maybe there will be changes in the future. Because you never know what will happen. So, on a personal level, I really hope we get to see more of Leslye’s second season storylines.

sidekick it certainly set the stage for another season, which included Osha agreeing to train in the ways of the dark side with Qimir, Mae having her memory erased and ending up in Vernestra Rwoh’s care, Darth Plagueis making his first on-screen appearance, and Vernestra leaving. to see Yoda, presumably to explain to him the true story behind Sol, Osha and Qimiri, the latter being Vernestra’s former apprentice. Yes, there are a lot of plot threads to leave hanging, and I’ve joined Lee Jung-jae in being surprised that they won’t be picked up in season 2. Although Disney hasn’t provided an official reason for sidekickits cancellation was reportedly due to low ratings.

This is a first from Disney Star Wars TV shows will be canceled outright, unlike certain series that are planned as one-season affairs, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Boba Fett’s bookor getting to end on their own terms, such as The Bad Lot and the future Andorra Season 2. Since it is unclear whether The skeleton crewwhich premieres this December in the 2024 TV schedule, will it be a miniseries or has the potential to continue into a second season, as in The Mandalorian Season 4 airs now in 2026 The Mandalorian & Grogu is on Disney’s slate of upcoming movies, which leaves Ahsoka as the only Star Wars TV show that could continue beyond the already greenlit Season 2.

But as Lee Jung-jae said, maybe stories related to sidekick it could still happen one day. His time on TV may be over, but maybe Lucasfilm would agree to have those aforementioned plot threads resolved in a book, if not a book series, or as a comic book series ongoing. If this happens, we will let you know.
