The Acolyte’s creator and Lucasfilm’s chief creative officer have a meeting of the minds about Star Wars.
Next week,The Acolytewill take Star Wars fans into an era that’s been previously unexplored in live-action.
The Acolyte is set near the end of the High Republic, approximately 100 years before The Phantom Menace.
But while the time frame is different, some Star Wars constants remain.
“What I was interested in examining were the Sith,” said Headland in the video.
“The Master-Apprentice dynamic.
And that is the Acolyte.”
That’s a theme that will come up in The Acolyte as well.
That was also a note that Headland carried over to The Acolyte when the young Jedi encounter their enemies.
The Acolyte will have a two-episode premiere on Disney+ on June 4.
