It was revealed in August 2024 that Lucasfilm would not be picking upThe Acolytefor a second season , despite the conclusion of the show teasing that Darth Plagueis himself would be demand in the possible story . The show was set around 100 years beforeStar warfare : Episode I - The Phantom Menace , think of Plagueis ' involvement would forthwith gear up up the prequel trilogy .

The cancelation ofThe Acolytebegs the question of whether Plagueis ' story will ever be finished . It is deserving noting that a book about Plagueis ' chronicle is now deliberate part ofStar WarsLegends , and nothing in canon contradict the story too much . In the Wake Island ofThe Acolytebeing scratch , the book titledStar war : Darth Plagueisby James Luceno could be fold back intoStar Warscanon to give the character some color of a story .
However , the most likely route forward for whatever storyThe Acolytehad planned is books and comics . Lucasfilm ’s publishing teams could go on Plagueis ' taradiddle as written continuation toThe Acolyte , something which has been done inStar Warsbefore . The stories of Darth Maul and Qi’ra were told in this data format after the failure of and thus deficiency of sequels toSolo : A Star Wars Story , mean the same could be said forThe Acolyte . At least this manner , the tragedy of Darth Plagueis mention inStar war : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithwill receive some context , though not as it was design .
