Just days after The Acolyte's cancelation, Star Wars fans have noticed that merchandise from the series has seemingly been removed from Disney's online store – and it has them fearing the worst.

Right now, The Acolyte's product page is completely empty. Previously, merch including sweatshirts and t-shirts, were available to buy; they now bring up an error message. Other Star Wars items from different lines and series – including those out of stock – are still available to purchase. Right now, it seems like it's only The Acolyte that's gone AWOL.

Inevitably, this has led to some (including on Reddit) worrying that The Acolyte is about to become "lost media" – i.e. removed from Disney Plus entirely.

While there's no indication that The Acolyte will be scrubbed from the streamer, Disney does have previous with taking one high-profile original – Willow – off the service last year, a decision star Warwick Davis decried as "embarrassing" with writer John Bickerstaff calling it "cruel" in a now-deleted Twitter post.
