“She is a gigantic Star Wars fan,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy toldVanity Fair.
“Whats wonderful about Leslye is she knows it all.
Master Sol has ties to Mae inStar Wars: The Acolyte.
I mean, shes read a gazillion books inside the EU [Expanded Universe].
It was very challenging and interesting to make a Star Wars project with no war in it.
“Its a Sith-led story, which has never been done before.”
Yord and Jecki are Jedi who’ll get caught up inThe Acolyte’s events.
Headland also toldIGNthatThe Clone Warsand, in particular, the series' introduction of the Nightsisters had an impact.
Is Turner-Smith’s Mother Aniseya a progenitor of said witch-based plan, then?
“We dont have any Nightsisters in this show,” she confirmed to IGN.
The Acolytepromises to dig intoStar Wars' previously unseen (in a live-action capacity, anyway) history.
“The High Republic is so golden in so many ways,” Headland toldVanity Fair.
“The Jedi uniforms are gold and white, and it’s almost like they would never get dirty.

If the bad guys are actually the underdog, it just seemed like a cool reversal.”
The Jedi, Indara (pictured) included, have got their hands full inThe Acolyte.
PerIGN, fans are already speculating that it’ll either be the Bothans or the Yuuzhan Vong.
“This is very incendiary,” she said.
“But whatever you thinkThe Acolyteis, its not that.
The Acolytewill feature a band of Force-sensitive Witches, but not the franchise’s iconic Nightsisters.
It’s a drop in the bucket”.
Will there be more than one season of The Acolyte?
‘, so I think it can definitely have some of that [longevity].”
