How Star Wars: The Acolyte Will Turn the Skywalker Saga on Its Head

The Acolyte will tie into Lucasfilm's Skywalker Saga more than fans may think.

The first trailer of Star Wars: The Acolyte has arrived online, giving fans their first look at the upcoming live-action series. Set in the High Republic era, The Acolyte takes place just 150 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and will position the Jedi Order in the way fans see it in Episode I. Speaking with StarWars.com, The Acolyte creator Leslye Headland says the series will very much follow the ancient religion as it transforms itself into an institution.

The writer said she wanted to reverse the roles a bit, and show the resurgence of the Sith."What went wrong?" Headland added."And if the bad guys are actually the underdog, it just seemed like a cool reversal." "I would say that when I pitched it, I definitely pitched it as a multi-season show. There are a lot of things at the end of this season that I think are narrative threads that are not tied up, for sure," Headland confirmed with the site."However, I am the type of writer that is not interested in an emotional cliffhanger.
