D23 didn’t bring us get news of a second season of The Acolyte, but with New York Comic Con only a few months away in October and Manny Jacinto announced for Celebration Japan in April 2025, it wouldn’t be unrealistic to hope news could be in the not-too-distant future, and at the show this year Manny was on hand to look back at the making of the first season.

The Lucasfilm Pavilion also gave us a close look at some of the terrifying designs for The Stranger. Sure, he was creepy in the show, but look at what he could of been.
