Star Wars: The Acolyte will reportedly not be getting a second season – and that leaves the LEGO Star Wars team with a tricky decision to make.

…

This is uncharted territory for the Star Wars universe. It’s not the first time a project has performed poorly enough to prompt Lucasfilm to pull the plug on any planned follow-ups – Solo: A Star Wars Story would like a word – but it is the first time the studio has left things on such a major cliffhanger, with so many unresolved threads that will now never be tied up on-screen.

Comic books and novels will presumably fill in the gaps, as the High Republic era returns to the mediums in which it began, and Disney shifts its focus to its upcoming slate of Star Wars movies hooked to Rey, The Mandalorian and the dawn of the Jedi Order. But that doesn’t help the LEGO Star Wars theme, which now faces a dilemma: should it play catch-up on The Acolyte, or ignore it altogether?

…

Leaving all that on the cutting room floor is undoubtedly not going to sit well with those who did enjoy The Acolyte (and are now ruing the discontinuation of its story), but the LEGO Star Wars team’s strategy around these shows doesn’t inspire much confidence that they’ll dive into this setting in 2025 or beyond. Yet if they don’t, it would mark the first time a live-action Star Wars series has been completely ignored by the LEGO Group.
