“I think that to attract the audience and create a new entry point – that is, you don’t have to know much about Star Wars to see the series – the natural thing was to go back in time and set the story there.

Although the most famous concepts will not appear in this show, the series offers an opportunity for even those less familiar with the franchise to enter a more independent world. The Acolyte It is now available exclusively on Disney+.
