The Acolyte's Untimely End: Lee Jung-jae Reflects on Cancellation and Hopes for Future Stories
- 29/11/2024

The announcement regarding the cancellation of The Acolyte has left many in shock, particularly fans of the Star Wars universe. As one of the anticipated television offerings, the series aimed to explore the High Galactic Republic era through the lives of sisters Mae and Osha and their grappling with the Force, especially its Dark Side. Unfortunately, this creative endeavor failed to resonate deeply with viewers, leading to its abrupt termination by Disney. The news did not come as a surprise to many, but it caught one of its prominent actors off guard: Lee Jung-jae, known for his role in The Squid Game, who portrayed Jedi Master Sol.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lee expressed his disappointment regarding the cancellation. He noted that, due to the developments in the first season, his character was already deceased, which meant his participation in a hypothetical second season was not an option. Nevertheless, he shared his admiration for the show's creator, Leslye Headland, commending her exceptional storytelling skills and the depth she brought to character creation. He was genuinely looking forward to a potential continuation under her direction.
Despite the unfavorable decision, Lee maintains a sense of optimism about the future. He expressed a glimmer of hope that the landscape might shift, allowing for the revival of the series or other related stories to unfold. He emphasized that the unpredictability of the industry leaves room for possibilities and that he is eager to see further developments in the narrative envisioned by Headland.
The discussion remains open: Will Master Sol, in any form, reappear in a potential continuation of The Acolyte? What were your thoughts on the first season?
