Star Wars: The Acolyte has revealed the return of one pivotal alien race in a new promo image for the show.
Star Wars : The Acolyte is going to be bringing back some pretty controversial aliens from the franchise lore: none other than the Neimoidians!
Like so many of the alien species introduced in the Star Wars Prequels, the Neimoidians received backlash for seemingly being thinly veiled metaphors for real-life racial groups. The Neimoidans were speculated to be a metaphor for Asian groups – primarily Chinese people – with their wardrobe and speaking cadence making it hard to completely write off the theory.
The Acolyte showrunner Leslie Headland has gone a step further, by outright stating that she intends for The Acolyte to touch upon every era of the Star Wars franchise.
