The Acolyte star Manny Jacinto hopes that the canceled Star Wars show some day has another chance, just like the prequels got a second life from all the fandom love.
During a Fan Expo Chicago panel hosted by Screen Rant journalist Joe Deckelmeier, Deckelmeier pointed out that the prequels are far more beloved now than they were at release, and suggested that The Acolyte could've fulfilled its potential if given more time – then asked if we'd seen the last of Jacinto's Sith character The Stranger.
"I mean, I hope not. I truly hope not. I would love nothing more [than] to run it back," Jacinto said. "You make a really great point. I feel like with the prequels, I mean, I grew up on the prequels as well, and you know, as a kid, you watch that, and you're just in awe of it. And then we grow up, and then now we have money… and we have more confidence as well, and we're able to voice our opinion.
"So I do hope that, you know, it finds new life, or it continues to find the love… you know, being out here has been so much love, and I just hope it continues, and we'll see. Never say never," he added.
