Star Wars: The Acolyte's fourth episode, which features a surprising cameo from Ki-Adi-Mundi, has sparked a significant debate. Set about a hundred years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I – Phantom Menace, many believe that during the tail-end of the High Republic Era, the Cerean Jedi Master wasn’t even born yet.

8 Star Wars Characters Around During The Acolyte

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.

Most science fiction movie franchises that get past six films are fairly impressive. Way back before the MCU blew up in 2012 or the Star Wars sequels began in 2015, sci-fi film franchises generally didn’t get into the double-digits. In fact, the seemingly immortal Planet of the Apes franchise just now released its 10th film overall. Star Wars has 11 theatrical films, but five of those all came out in the last nine years. This summer, the Alien franchise will release its ninth film in very fragmented continuity, which funnily enough, has the subtitle Romulus, a term that was arguably popularized by the scrappiest science fiction franchise of them all — Star Trek.

Disney CEO has released a tragic statement after the passing of Disney and Hollywood legend and leader, Jon Landau. The film industry grieves the loss of Jon Landau, a visionary producer whose collaborative spirit and unwavering belief in the power of cinema left an indelible mark. Landau, who passed away at the age of 63, was best known for his groundbreaking partnership with director James Cameron, resulting in some of the highest-grossing films of all time. Landau had been battling cancer for more than a year prior to his passing.

Tragic Passing of Disney Legend: CEO Bob Iger Responds with Official Notice

Manny Jacinto, the breakout star of the new Lucasfilm Star Wars series The Acolyte, has been lying to fans (and everyone) for years now, and he’s glad to be able to stop. The Acolyte is the latest live-action Star Wars series to land on Disney+ and, arguably, its most controversial to date. While The Mandalorian kicked things off with a bang when the streaming service launched in 2019, it has been running out of steam as star Pedro Pascal increasingly commits to other projects like the HBO series The Last of Us and the upcoming Marvel reboot The Fantastic Four. A feature film starring Din Djarin (Pascal) and his adoptive son Grogu is in the works, but it will still be years before it hits theaters.

Canceled: Disney’s “Troubling” Version of ‘Snow White’ Terminated

The 1980s was a pivotal decade for iconic movies such as Raging Bull, The Breakfast Club, and Blade Runner, which redefined the cinema experience for audiences of all ages. Between traveling to a galaxy far, far, away to embarking on a musical comedy road trip to save an orphanage, the 80s was a time of limitless imagination and risks that solidified filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, John Hughes, and George Lucas as some of the greatest contributors to the silver screen. Although the decade gave film fans an array of classic, memorable films, some reached a pinnacle of perfection that others failed to achieve.

Paramount has struggled to get a Star Trek movie together since 2016’s Star Trek Beyond underperformed. Since then, the fourth (and likely final) Abramsverse film has been in development hell. As a result, it looks like the next Star Trek movie will be yet another origin story. The reasoning behind this is so that newcomers can have an entry point to the franchise that doesn’t require previous knowledge. Unfortunately, it does so at the cost of almost 70 years of fans who are tired of seeing Star Trek stuck in neutral.

Star Wars: The Acolyte Episode 8 Features Major Cameo

The first season of The Acolyte has now drawn to a close, and to say that this has been quite a saga would be to undersell it. Indeed, we can talk about how a strong start and intriguing finale ran counter to the show’s lackluster storytelling in the bridging episodes, but could just as easily talk about the influx of hate that’s been pointed at the show from self-proclaimed Star Wars fans. George forbid that a show casts actors who are humans in roles that were written for humans, right?
