A Change.org petition has been launched to try and save The Acolyte following its cancellation by Disney+.
It picked up a few hundred signatures in its first 24 hours. Those 700ish signatures on a Change.org petition calling for Disney+ to renew, rather than cancel, its controversial live-action Star Wars series The Acolyte have now turned into several thousand. 'I want to see original Star Wars material be given the opportunity to thrive,' one petitioner said, in a comment left on the petition's Change.org page.
In reality, it was probably a mixture of the poor reception as well as a return on investment calculus that was made here, since the show doesn't seem to have earned the level of audience that justified its reported $180 million budget. As for the long-shot petition, it's picked up more than 2,600 signatures today alone and has a total of 6,068 thus far -- putting it within striking distance of its new goal of 7,500.
