Amandla Stenberg reveals cancelation of The Acolyte is 'not a huge shock for me' following 'rampage of vitriol' from some Star Wars fans


IN the wake of Disney+ canceling Star Wars: The Acolyte after one season, Amandla Stenberg is sharing her mind about the decision and the backlash that followed the show.

Nearly two weeks after Disney+ stunned some of the cast, crew, and fans by canceling Star Wars: The Acolyte after one season, leading lady Amandla Stenberg is speaking her mind about the decision and the backlash that followed the show from start to finish. Stenberg, who played the dual roles of twin sisters Osha and Mae, claimed she and others with the show 'started experiencing a rampage of what I would say is hyper-conservative, bigotry, and vitriol, prejudice, hatred, and hateful language towards us' But with a reported budget of $180 million, mixed reviews from fans and critics, and a fall in viewing numbers after the release of the third episode couldn't have helped when deciding whether to move forward with a season two.
