In a recent interview, Leslye Headland, the Acolyte showrunner, stated how many seasons she thinks Star Wars' newest program would have, so underscoring her passion for the brand. Scheduled for a two-episode premiere on June 4th on Disney+, the Acolyte is the next Star Wars forthcoming TV show release. The project is attracting a lot of interest, partly because it marks a period of the Star Wars chronology not yet shown on-screen. Set 100 years before the prequel trilogy, The Acolyte will show the inner workings of the Jedi during the High Republic Era.
Showrunner Leslye Headland recently revealed in Collider that she would be pleased to keep working on the program for the foreseeable future, hence this age clearly presents much for The Acolyte to investigate. Headland said, "This is my ideal employment. I'm stating three [seasons] since I'm hoping they'll let me do that, but if I could click my fingers, it would just be, this is my work till I retire. Actually, working on Star Wars is the only higher creative or career peak I can imagine. I am thus truly excellent. I'm not very compelled to do anything else."
Headland's passion over the program not only shows how much the showrunner loves Star Wars but also how much this era in the greater Star Wars world provides in terms of narrative. The showrunner clearly has an idea for The Acolyte that seems to have enthralled the audience.
Headland's observations on The Acolyte show how the forthcoming Star Wars series has developed. The showrunner exudes confidence in the production and its ability to run for many years ahead. For fans, this is a great indicator; it implies the showrunner is here for the long run.
Leslye Headland is quite hopeful about the possibility to run The Acolyte through three seasons. Set 100 years before Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace at a golden period for the Jedi and the Republic, The Acolyte creates countless avenues for Star Wars narratives. As a prelude to the prequel trilogy, the program can—and apparently will—do quite a bit to clarify the problems that surface inside the Jedi Order and the Republic over the prequel films. Moreover, as an age yet untouched on film, many fresh personalities and stories might be introduced.
The Acolyte has already shown strong proof that it will accomplish exactly that. Apart from revealing several fresh Jedi Masters and Padawans from the show's teasers and trailers, it is also obviously defying convention in an interesting way. Multiple new Jedi, including Master Kelnacca, the first live-action Wookiee Jedi in Star Wars canon, are non-human, for starters. The Acolyte will also feature a Force-sensitive coven of witches and new, enigmatic dark side Force-users one of whom chooses blades over the standard lightsaber.
Although The Acolyte's longevity is unknown yet, it is clear from showrunner Leslye Headland's happiness to be signed on for the long run that the program may have a great future. Should the franchise want to carry on The Acolyte's tale, the show would also have enough of material to cover because The Acolyte also occurs 100 years before The Phantom Menace. Headland's remarks on Star Wars: The Acolyte unequivocally indicate the program will be an exquisite delight, even the future may not be known for some time.
Disney+ will premiere The Acolyte on June 4.
The Acolyte is a television show set at the High Republic Era's conclusion inside the Star Wars universe. During this time the Galactic Republic and the Jedi were at their most powerful. All of which led to darkness emerging from below the surface and ready to bring about the downfall of the High Republic, a former Padawan reunites with her former Jedi Master as they probe many crimes in this sci-fi thriller.
