The Acolyte star Manny Jacinto is still holding out hope that he could return as his Star Wars character The Stranger, a year after the show was canceled.

The Stranger was a mysterious Sith who was eventually unmasked as Jacinto's Qimir. Even more intriguingly, he turned out to be an apprentice of none other than Darth Plagueis the Wise.

"Always, always hopeful," Jacinto told Screen Rant, when asked if he was hopeful we could see the Stranger again. "I would love to run it back… A lot of fans out there being like, 'We love The Acolyte!' Like, 'Qimir come back!' Things like that, it's all love and it's so special. We'll put it out there. Fingers crossed."
