One was the ambitious Sith origin storyThe Acolyte, starring Amandla Stenberg and Manny Jacinto, which received mixed reviews and ultimately didn’t earn a second season. The other wasStar Wars: Skeleton Crewwhich is still currently airing its first season on Disney+. The new series has shown promise with its nostalgic lens and strong young cast, but its future is unclear as of now. Looking to the year ahead, the Star Wars universe has plenty more to offer its fans, including the return of some fan-favorite series.
