Lee Jung - jae ’s surprised reaction to the cancelation ofThe Acolyteis not at all uncommon . The Acolyteis the first canceledStar Warsshow in its story , and it learn both witness and histrion by surprisal . The show ’s cancelation was even more unexpected given all the loose threads that theending ofThe Acolyteleft , and all the possibilitiesThe Acolyteseason 2 could have explored . From Darth Plagueis ' cameo to the conclusion of Osha and the Stranger ’s story , the fact that those threads wo n’t be follow was surprising to even Lee Jung - jae .

With The Acolyte formally offset , we speculate what we could have seen in time of year 2 of the Star Wars show .

Lee Jung-jae Wouldn’t Have Been Returning, But He Clearly Loved The Show

Even ifThe Acolyteseason 2 was n’t canceled , Lee Jung - jae in all probability would n’t have been in it . Master Sol died at the end ofThe Acolyteseason 1 , and unless he could join the growing list ofStar Warscharacters who have been revive , he would n’t have appear in the second season . Though it was always potential that Sol could have return as a Force trace , it seems unlikely thatThe Acolytewould have write him in for time of year 2 . Sol ’s destruction had a marvellous emotional weight to it , and it meant an tremendous pile to Osha ’s eccentric development , so it probably would have stayed permanent .

Master Sol is a wise , highly respected , knock-down Jedi Master , potent in the ways of the Force , who is blend in through worked up conflict .

While Lee would n’t have return forThe Acolyteseason 2 , he still want to see where its news report conduct . later on in the interview , Lee spoke about how much he respectedThe Acolyte ’s showrunner , Leslye Headland , and how he still hopes that she gets to polish off the story she start .

“ But personally verbalise , I really loved Leslye ’s writing . I thought that she was a majuscule writer and director who was very gifted in the storytelling , as well as create type and create meaningful social system within the history . So I was in reality in person really looking forward to watching a season 2 with her at the helm .

frankly , I am hoping that maybe there could be changes in the future tense . Because you never know what ’s going to happen . So on a personal level , I really hope we could get to see further account of Leslye ’s second time of year . ”

Lucasfilm and Disney have call off The Acolyte after just one season , and the decision points to a major failure to learn from George Lucas himself .

Master Sol is a wise, highly respected, powerful Jedi Master, strong in the ways of the Force, who is going through emotional conflict.

Even thoughThe Acolytehas been canceled and Lee Jung - jae ’s fourth dimension as Master Sol has come to an end , both he and the show will continue to be big part ofStar Warsfor a while yet . There are a fewplanned tie - in novel forThe Acolyte , which are adjust to expand upon reference like Jecki Lon , Yord Fandar , Master Kelnacca , and more . While Sol has n’t yet been confirmed as a focus of those stories , he was a major part of those characters ' lives , and he ’ll likely come out in them . Still , it ’s a bittersweet solace for Lee Jung - jae andThe Acolyte .
