The Acolyte Season 2 would've included big plans for Manny Jacinto's The Stranger. The High Republic Sith Lord was one of the most intriguing characters in the Disney+ Star Wars series, but after The Acolyte was canceled after only one season, the futures of The Stranger/Qimir, Amandla Stenberg's twins Mae and Osha, and the Jedi Council were left up in the air.The Acolyte's creator, Leslye Headland, has revealed in the years since the show's axing that there were plans to do more with these characters, and that big things were in store for Jacinto's character in Season 2. Qimir/The Stranger was introduced in The Acolyte as a disillusioned ex-Jedi Padawan who became one of the early Sith Lords. He trained Mae in the way of the Dark Side and sent her out as his acolyte to kill other Jedi. In the end, Qimir is seen taking Osha as his new apprentice, who agrees to do so to protect her sister, Mae. In a more recent interview with Empire Magazine, Headland shared four major storylines that would've utilized the Stranger in another season. One of these would be "getting into who exactly Manny [Jacinto's] character is." While audiences gained some knowledge of the Stranger in The Acolyte, there was still a lot left unsaid about the character, including exact details about his past and how he left the Jedi Order and became a Sith Lord.
