StarWars: TheAcolyte showrunner LeslyeHeadland shared what they learned about criticizing the Jedi from RianJohnson's TheLastJedi & Lucasfilm President KathleenKennedy's support for the series. / DisneyPlus
\nLooking ahead to what Disney+ has lined up for 2024, Lucasfilm & series creator Leslye Headland's Star Wars: The Acolyte is inching closer and closer to the top of our list of shows we need to check out. First, the 'Star Wars' universe series is highlighting a very different period in the timeline – when the Jedi ruled the day. But guess what? They're not exactly the 'bastions of righteousness' that they've been portrayed to be.
' But even though portraying the fallibility of the Jedi was met with some serious backlash after 'The Last Jedi' debuted, Headland shares that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy wasn't afraid for the showrunner to tap that theme again for the streaming series.\n'I think when you think you're going to tell the story about bad guys, and the Jedi might be the antagonist to those Jedi, I think that makes people nervous.
