Lucasfilm Spooked By ‘The Acolyte’ Controversy, Quietly Begins New ‘Star Wars’ Production

From Bastila Shan to Luke Skywalker, the Jedi of Star Wars have captivated the hearts and minds of fans for decades. Indeed, representing some of the most beloved characters and factions in Star Wars, the Jedi have accrued a plethora of novels over time. Sadly, the sheer volume of literature on these galactic guardians often deters the casual Jedi fan, who doesn’t wish to waste time cutting through some less engaging offerings.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Acolyte episode 8. Well, The Acolyte season 1 sure went to some unexpected places, huh? Disney Plus actually did a good job of keeping a lot about its first High Republic era series under wraps ahead of time, so much of what it had to offer — including its twin protagonists, the shocking deaths of halfway through, and its bold deconstructive take on the Jedi — came as pleasant surprises (well, except for the deaths part).

Last night marked the final episode of season one of The Acolyte, bringing the saga of Osha, Mae, and Master Sol to a close. While this series more than explored the Dark Side of the Force, it might have wasted Darth Plagueis the Wise for a few seconds of screen time.

Star Wars has always been known for its weird names, from pod-racer Ebe E. Endecott to the part-time singer, part-time bounty hunter Sy Snootles. However, none of these names are anywhere near as mind-blowing as the full name for Jedi Master Yoda. As to be expected from original creator George...

When we think of Disney, a few thoughts come to mind. Of course, the Disney parks are one of the most iconic in the world. While Mickey Mouse standing in front of Cinderella Castle or Sleeping Beauty Castle is an iconic look, Disney did not begin with theme parks and rollercoasters. Disney’s start began with movies.

One of The Acolyte‘s biggest strengths was that it was almost completely devoid of any legacy Star Wars characters. The High Republic time period dictated that for the most part, as did creator Leslye Headland’s story, which dove into aspects of the franchise that had yet to be explored.

Why The Acolyte Introduced That Iconic Star Wars Character

A teenager has been seriously injured after falling from an attraction mid-ride at a popular theme park. Terrifying though some theme park attractions may be, the entire point of boarding a thrill ride is supposed to be that you’re getting that adrenaline rush in a safe, controlled way. That’s why both ride manufacturers and theme parks implement extensive safety measures – so you can sit back and enjoy the ride with just the right amount of fear.

The Star Wars fandom is a fraught, fervent place. In the modern age, online communities rallying around franchises are often composed of numerous splinter groups, and Star Wars is no exception—it’s got far-right reactionaries, original trilogy boomers, millennial prequel loyalists, Gen Z animated series lovers, and, of course, Reylos. It’s that last group—fans who ship characters Kylo Ren and Rey Skywalker of the sequel trilogy, and who are often women or queer folks—that have felt ostracized by other Star Wars fans in the years since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, and are just now feeling justified thanks to The Acolyte.
