I broke down crying about The Acolyte tonight. I've been grieving privately for days and I needed to let it all out.

This show means more to me than words can say. It made me feel seen as a female Star Wars fan, and as a woman who is taught by society to hide her rage.

I grieve for the show, for not knowing if I will ever know what happens next, for the characters, and for the cast and crew who put their heart and soul into it.

I grieve for Leslye Headland, who was brave and bold enough to tell a different kind of Star Wars story. I grieve for my friends and peers who felt represented by this show in ways they've never felt represented by Star Wars before.

I fear that the fandom will cease to exist, that this show will be forgotten, and my sincerest hope is that we will rage on as proud fans of The Acolyte for many years to come.

I love The Acolyte. I always will, no matter if we get a continuation of the story or not.

I'm completely gutted that this decision was made, and I hope that whatever executive made this decision sees that it was the wrong one.

And no, I do not care to hear that you think I'm a crybaby. This is my truth. These are my feelings. #RenewTheAcolyte #SaveTheAcolyte
