A new phantom menace emerges from the shadows in the Star Wars series.
Lucasfilm has described Star Wars: The Acolyte as"a mystery-thriller that will take the audience into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.
To paraphrase another Jedi Master, that's the truth... from a certain point of view. In The Acolyte, one perspective is Mae's , a former student of Jedi Master Sol turned mysterious masked assassin. "You will discover it when you're watching the show. It will be revealed," Headland previously told The Hollywood Reporter about the identity of the titular acolyte, and whether they're an apprentice of the Sith or the Jedi."One thing to know about the show is that we've been talking about it as a mystery-thriller. It is a serialized story, so each episode gives you more information about the story.
"We were obviously influenced by samurai films and wuxia films, but also films like Rashomon, where you see one story and then you see it done a different way," Headland added."So, what separates from some of the other Star Wars series is that it's told in that particular way." For all the talk of the light side and the dark side, The Acolyte exists in shades of gray.
"People who are good guys can be bad guys, and people who are bad guys can be good guys. There's a lot of moral ambiguity, which is why Jodie's line in the trailer is so important: 'This isn't about good or bad; this is about power and who is allowed to use it,'" Headland explained."And I believe, of course, that the Jedi are a benevolent, well-intentioned institution, but they are an institution and they have amassed all the power.
