Although not much is known about the Acolyte series. What we do know. It is very interesting!
The live-action Sci-Fi series is led by the American Director Leslye Headland who has promised a fresh and unexpected look.
Star Wars Acolyte is not like the previous traditional Star Wars series. No. These series will follow unexpected leads and have promised a look into the darker side of the force.
The series will most probably be told from the dark perspective meaning the perspective of a Sith. Maybe?
So, it's time Star Wars fans embraced new ideas. Also about time we delved into a diversity unlike the two sides of the force we usually hear about!
So here are some interesting yet shocking facts about Star Wars Acolyte.
Let’s see how many of these facts you saw coming!
1. Not Everything Is What It Seems
The timeline of the Acolyte is set to be a hundred years before the High Republic peak era. We get to discover a time that has many questions surrounding it. The High Republic era is not the most explored Star Wars era so fans are curious as to what will happen.
However not much is a mystery because the era was a quiet peaceful one with progressive and fantastic Jedi Order growth.
Yet Acolyte will peel back the glittery curtains and reveal the mystery dark underbelly of that era. Excitingly the director has promised that the era will get increasingly challenging. So that is something to eagerly await!
2. An Unexpected Cast
The top cast and characters of the Star Wars Acolyte have been revealed. Unlike the same old faces this time you will see not only new characters but a diverse cast. Could be one of your favorite actors from your most liked series!
Here's a tip for you! Amandla Stenberg will collaborate closely with the Squid Games' lead actor. There may even be a sighting of the well-known actor from the sitcom The Good Place.
In addition, there are a lot of actors you never would have considered. Here in the Acolyte Series, they are going to blow you away. Increasing our fervor!
Let’s see how well the cast breathes life into their characters.
3. Female-Centric
From the main character it looks like the series will be led by a female and the perspective will be female dominant as well. However, unlike what we saw with Queen Amidala this time the perspective is darker and not so glorious.
The main character will have her dark challenges. Additionally, it is promised that in Acolyte the female lead will show huge interest in the political aspects of the Galaxy. That will leave a not-so-glorious impact.
If you were hoping to see some strong Ahsoka moments like in the ‘The Rebels’ then you have another thing coming!
4. The Collection Of All
Although the Acolyte is a new concept and will reveal many unconventional and murky secrets of the time. It is also a series where you will see a few known characters. Meaning?
The series will give you a glimpse of the shared timelines and the unpredictable future. All in the same the Acolyte series will connect to different variants of the Galaxy. So it makes sense if most of the history that is followed in the Acolyte will be the same.
Novel revelations and conflicts will be explored. Yes. However, within the same mystical surroundings of the broad Star Wars Galaxy.
5. The Expected
Here is another thing about the Acolyte series. Many fans are almost sure that the series will take inspiration from the High Republic comics and novels!
So that already makes many challenges to be explored in the Acolyte slightly predictable. In Fact, the Acolyte series will form a connection between the old timeline and the High Republic Era. Which is good since we do not know much about what happened at that time!
Additionally, fans are hopeful that the storyline before Emperor Palpatine will be explored deeply. The story of his ancestors and other ancestors of a similar time like the Tekka clan will also be explored. hopefully!

With the high expectations of the fans, many of us have already tried to fit the characters and the dark Acolyte reveals into our versions of the story. Although most of us still wonder who the real Acolytes could be.
