The Power of Many
A look at what happens when you anger your fan base…
I’m sure you’ve heard the news. It’s been all over the internet for the last week or so. To some, it’s the worst thing to have happened since the 2016 election. To others, it’s the best thing to have happened since Captain America picked up Mjolnir in Avengers: Endgame. To me, it was a rather predictable event, one that didn’t shock me at all.

That’s right, you may have already guessed it. I’m talking about Disney canceling The Acolyte television show. It looks like there will not be a season two after all. For those that are sad about this, I’ll give you a moment to mourn for its loss. For those that are happy about this, take that time to hoot/clap/dance for joy.
Now that you’ve mourned/celebrated the show’s fate, I know there are some out there that are devastated that Disney canceled the newest show in the Star Wars universe. In fact, there is a petition to get it uncanceled on the website change.org that has, as of Sunday, 38,277 signatures. It started on August 20.
In my personal opinion, I don’t think any number of signatures will resurrect that show. In full disclosure, I’ll state that I only watched ten minutes of the first episode and then switched it off. I just couldn’t get into it. However, I followed the YouTube…
