Amandla Stenberg as Osha in The Acolyte in front of a purple map of the world
Summary The Acolyte broke with recent Star Wars tradition, picking very specific filming locations throughout Portugal and the UK rather than leaning on newer technology. The Acolyte is the newest addition to Star Wars movies and TV shows, set 100 years before Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace in the Star Wars timeline. Because it represented a brand-new era on Star Wars' live-action screen, it required a number of new locations.
Moreover, The Acolyte's showrunner Leslye Headland has made it clear that the Unknown Planet was meant to mirror Ahch-To, the planet where Luke lived in exile during the sequel trilogy. While many initially suspected this was Ahch-To in The Acolyte, that wasn't the case. However, the Unknown Planet did share Ahch-To's rocky terrain and sense of isolation, which was very intentional.
In fact, The Acolyte increasingly revealed how important it was for the coven to remain not only out of sight but also safely protected within the walls of their fortress. For one, the witches were hiding Osha and Mae, as they knew the Jedi would not want them raising children, but they were also protecting the vergence in the Force that existed on Brendok. Sadly, in the end, this fortress wasn't enough, as the Jedi breached it and tragedy ensued.
Interior Scenes, Including The Jedi Temple, Were Shot In Shinfield Studios Shockingly, The Acolyte Didn't Use The Volume Close Surprisingly, The Acolyte didn't take advantage of the Volume, the curved LED screen offering actors accurate backdrops that has become a staple in recent Star Wars TV shows. The Volume was first used in The Mandalorian, but it was also used in both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka.
The Taf Fechan Forest Was Frequently Featured In Scenes On Brendok The Englefield Estate Wasn't The Only Forest Used In The Acolyte Close The Taf Fechan Forest in the Brecon Beacons National Park was also used for forest scenes, although this location seems to have specifically been for Brendok's forests.
