Summary

BIG DRAMA! coming from Camp Disney AGAIN! In today's video, Kristian Harloff dives deep into the latest Star Wars controversy surrounding The Acolyte. The series, which has been divisive to say the least, was officially not renewed by Lucasfilm, sparking outrage and confusion among fans. Many are debating whether to call this a cancellation, but our own John Rocha had heard from his sources that The Acolyte was indeed going to be renewed before Disney reversed the decision.

So, what happened with The Acolyte? Why was Star Wars: The Acolyte, which was created by Leslye Headland and featured Amandla Stenberg, abruptly stopped from moving forward with a second season? And what role did Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and even George Lucas have in all of this? We'll break down all the latest Star Wars news, including reports from Jeff Sneider about the role Keanu Reeves could have played if things had gone differently.

Plus, we touch on other big news from the entertainment world: The Crow bombs at the box office, the director's surprising response, Ultron's return, and why Quentin Tarantino won't watch Toy Story 4!

Tune in for a full Star Wars breakdown, including thoughts on Disney Plus, The Mandalorian, and more. Don't miss out on all the juicy details!
