Following the recent announcement that Star Wars: The Acolyte will not be renewed for a second season, Disney has made a surprising move that has caught many fans off guard.
They’ve removed all merchandise related to The Acolyte from their online store, sparking concern among fans.
This has led to growing speculation that the entire show might be at risk of being pulled from Disney+, especially given the timing of the merchandise removal.
Fans fear that Disney might eventually remove the show from its streaming platform, a pattern that has been observed with other canceled series.
These concerns are heightened by Disney’s track record of removing underperforming content or projects that are no longer in development.
There’s a growing worry that The Acolyte, which initially garnered attention for offering a fresh perspective on the Star Wars universe, could be completely erased from the franchise’s canon.
In response to these concerns, fans have started a campaign with the hashtags #RenewTheAcolyte or #SaveTheAcolyte.
This hashtag has been trending on social media platforms like X, with devoted followers passionately advocating for the show’s revival.
However, there has been no official word from Disney regarding the potential removal of The Acolyte from Disney+.
For now, fans can still enjoy the series on the platform—at least while it’s still available.

The merch was put back up after less than a day (might even just have been a glitch) and has been up on the store since August 22nd now.
