While the premiere of the nextStar Warsshow,Skeleton Crew, is less than a week away, fans still haven’t forgotten aboutThe Acolyte, which was canceled despite strong critic reviews and viewership numbers. One of the standouts of the show was Kelnacca, the Wookie Jedi voiced byJoonas Suotamo,who fans were excited about from the first promotional material that showed his appearance in the series. Collider is now happy to exclusively reveal a new Black Series figure of Kelnacca which will beavailable for pre-order on December 4. The figure also retails for only$33.99, making it one of the more affordable collectibles on the market when stacked up against the prices of other competitors such asHot Toysor Iron Studios, which often retail well over $300.
The Kelnacca figure even comes with a soft goods robe that can be taken on and off, as well as his signature Lightsaber and packaging with sleek character art to hone the display. It’s also been a good time to be a fan ofStar Warsfigures, as both Hot Toys and Iron Studios have recently released new collectibles from a Galaxy Far, Far Away. Fans ofStar Warsvideo games were pleased when Hot Toys unveileda newStar Wars Jedi: Survivorfigureof the Purge Trooper Commander, which is one of the most fierce foes for Cal Kestis’ Jedi Knight. Hot Toys also looked out for fans ofStar Warsanimation by releasing two new figures,one of Chopper fromStar Wars: Rebelsand another ofSavage Oppress fromStar Wars: The Clone Wars.
Why Was ‘The Acolyte’ Canceled?
It was a sad day for fans when the news dropped thatThe Acolytewould not be moving forward with a second season, despite the show setting up multiple threads to pull on, especially Darth Plagueis. The decision was all the more baffling considering the show earned a 78% from critics onRotten Tomatoesand had strong viewership throughout, but it was, unfortunately, review bombed, leading to an 18% rating from audiences on the aggregate site as well as a 4.2 score on IMDb.Star Warsseemingly let a hateful corner of the fanbase decide the future for a show gleaming with potential, especially for its first foray outside the typical Skywalker timeline.
The Kelnacca Black Series figure will be available forpre-order on December 4 for $33.99. Check out the first-look images of the collectible above and watchThe AcolyteonDisney+.
