While some Star Wars fans saw the news of the cancellation, Jung-Jae was “personally very surprised” and disappointed when he heard the news.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lee said: “As you know, my character died in season one. So if there is a second season I won’t be in it.
“But personally, I really like Leslye’s [Headland] writing. I think she’s a great writer and director, very talented at telling stories, creating characters, and creating meaningful structures in stories.
“So I’m personally really looking forward to watching Season 2 with her at the helm.”
The actor went on to explain that he’s not giving up hope for a second season, saying: “Honestly, I hope that might change in the future because you never know what’s going to happen. So, personally, I Really hope we get to see more of Leslie’s story in season 2.
Fans of the series haven’t given up hope, and they recently launched a “Save the Acolytes” campaign to try to convince Disney to change its mind about canceling the series.
