In a new interview with ComicBook, Carrie-Anne Moss shared her thoughts on the cancellation of ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte.’
“Yeah. I mean, I’ve been asked that question a lot today, and it’s funny because, you know, when being an actor, you’re in shows all the time that are canceled and it’s in the beginning, it’s kind of a bummer,” the actress said. “And then you just learn to not really be invested. You can’t be, it’s a protection mechanism.”
She added, “So I didn’t even, I mean I died, so I was like I love everybody, but I didn’t, and I didn’t read about it. I heard from, like, a dad at school, and I was already working on something else. So it’s sort of like, oh, okay. It was over already for me. I don’t know, maybe that’s… I’m glad you liked it though. Yeah, I, I really enjoyed doing that too.”
‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ had a lot of discussion during its first season, but it won’t have a second season. The cancellation surprised some people. Another star from the show, Lee Jung-jae, who played Sol, also wouldn’t have returned without a flashback.
In an interview with EW, Lee said he was excited to watch a season 2, even though his character died. He said, “As you know, my character had died already in the first season. So I wouldn’t have appeared in the second season if there was one anyway.”
The actor continued, “But personally speaking, I really loved Leslye’s writing. I thought that she was a great writer and director who was very talented in the storytelling, as well as creating characters and creating meaningful structures within the story. So I was actually personally really looking forward to watching a Season 2 with her at the helm.”
“Honestly, I am hoping that maybe there could be changes in the future,” he added. “Because you never know what’s going to happen. So on a personal level, I really hope we could get to see further stories of Leslye’s second season.”
Moss’ new film ‘Die Alone’ comes to theaters, digital platforms, and On Demand services on October 18.
