The series is set before the events of The Phantom Menace, making it the earliest live-action portrayal of this time period. While the ultimate goal of the series is to address the characters of Darth Plagueis and Palpatine, the showrunner, Leslye Headland, remains tight-lipped about their potential introduction. The article briefly quotes Headland expressing her vision for the storyline and its eventual conclusion. The text also includes an image of the series’ promotional material.
Many Star Wars series, for whatever reason, choose to be prequels. The Acolyte is a little different, because it takes place before The Phantom Menace, meaning it’s a time period that we haven’t seen in live action before.
There’s still one end goal we need to reach, though, with Darth Plagueis and Palpatine somewhere in the timeline. Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland has a plan for how they could be introduced into the show, but we’ll have to wait a little longer to see it.
“If I keep telling this story, I know how I want it to end,” she told Nerdist when asked how Darth Plagueis relates to the story. “And I think it’s quite complicated and messy.”
