In spite of its shortcomings , we've been largely enjoying The Acolyte. For the most part, it's a fascinating look into an entirely new era of the Star Wars galaxy and a re-evaluation of who the Jedi are and where their downfall came from. Now, just one week ahead of the season one finale, creator and showrunner Leslye Headland is opening up about where the story might go next.
Nerdist's interview with Headland , where we've found some interesting answers to burning fan questions, assumes you've watched episode seven already, so huge spoiler warning before diving into the conversation's most interesting chunks just in case. From the very beginning, even before the show was shooting, the showrunner has expressed how much of a nerd she really is, and that extends beyond the limits of Star Wars lore and deep into Elden Ring . As a direct result, the press is focusing on in-universe questions over the actual process of making the show, which has been highlighted well enough by Lucasfilm and Disney during the marketing campaign.
'Choice' was inevitably a very packed episode, as it was basically tasked with delivering tons of answers to the show's biggest questions. Moreover, it cut even deeper into Star Wars lore, dealing with the daunting concept of vergences in the Force and even the Great Hyperspace Disaster, the event that kicked off the High Republic-era books and comics. On top of all that, the witches living on Brendok got to show off some of their witchy powers and things .
