TheAcolyte showrunner LeslyeHeadland and stars AmandlaStenberg & LeeJungjae on how the series is a different kind of StarWars project, exploring new territory, lightsabers, and more. / Lucasfilm DisneyPlus
about what to expect from seeing a Star Wars project with the"war.""The Acolyte stands out because it is the earliest in the Star Wars timeline that we have ever been in live-action," Headland said."We are toward the end of the High Republic, leading into George's prequels, so we are looking at a time period where the Jedi are at the height of their power.
"Star Wars is always about some version of the underdog versus the institution," Headland said."And I just thought it was very interesting to do a show about the bad guys and to set that during that time period made the most sense. So it's kind of almost flipped. We have more Jedi than you've seen in any of the Star Wars content, but at the same time, you see more morally ambiguous characters than you've seen in other Star Wars content.
As far as Stenberg's role,"It's a really interesting time in the galaxy," they said."Because there are no wars, we get to lean into the underdogs and the moral ambiguity of these characters. And so I have the opportunity of playing something that holds a lot of moral and ethical conflict, which I think is my favorite part of Star Wars." On the other side of the narrative is Jung-jae's character.
