I'm seriously bummed about 'The Acolyte' getting canceled. After 'Ahsoka,' it was the best Star Wars spinoff. The Darth Plagueis cameo in Season 1 had me so hyped for a full story in Season 2. Now, with the cliffhanger and all, it feels like a huge loss. Guess the Force wasn't with this one—such a shame.
