Amandla Stenberg in Star Wars' The Acolyte with Darth Maul and Obi-Won Kenobi in The Phantom Menace
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars: The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland revealed that Star Wars' newest Disney+ TV show was directly influenced by the mysteries of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. The Acolyte is set in the High Republic Era, approximately 100 years before The Phantom Menace. As essentially a prequel to the prequel trilogy, The Acolyte will uncover a number of secrets from this era yet to be explored on screen.
This response from Headland suggests that The Acolyte will thrillingly reveal what the Sith were really doing in the 100 years prior to The Phantom Menace and might even explain why the Jedi believed the Sith to be extinct and how much they really knew. However, while many have expressed worries that this means a Phantom Menace retcon, this update from Headland and the trailers for The Acolyte that have since been released all point toward something much more thrilling. It's apparent that the Sith were active in the years leading up to The Phantom Menace, although that exact timeline is less clear.
