If The Acolyte Sequel Drops, Darth Sidious May Return

Jul 11, 2024 11:27 AM

The creator of "The Acolyte," Leslye Headland, hints at the potential inclusion of iconic Sith Lords like Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious if the Star Wars series gets future seasons. Headland's passion for Star Wars lore is evident, suggesting an intricate and messy storyline about how the Sith undermined the Jedi Order and the Republic in the pre-"The Phantom Menace" era. Episode seven delves into deep Star Wars lore, including concepts like vergences in the Force and connections to the High Republic era. It seems the future may explore dark side figures like Qimir potentially connected to the Knights of Ren. The unanswered questions and high stakes make a compelling case for the series' renewal.

Will Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious appear in future seasons of The Acolyte?

Yes, Leslye Headland, the creator of "The Acolyte," has suggested that if given the chance, there is a clear vision for including Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious in the storyline.

"The Acolyte" is set in an unexplored era of the Star Wars universe. The show provides a fresh perspective on the Jedi and the dark forces at play before "The Phantom Menace." With ties to extensive Star Wars lore, it has the potential to explore critical historical events and fan-favorite characters, offering a rich narrative that could significantly enrich the Star Wars canon.
