Overview
- Lucasfilm canceled The Acolyte after one season last year, ending plans for a follow-up.
- Showrunner Leslye Headland says the character known as the Stranger, also called Qimir, was intended to become the earliest Knight of Ren.
- Season 2 planning included introducing Darth Plagueis within a framework shaped by the Sith Rule of Two.
- Composer Michael Abels wove a cue referencing Kylo Ren’s theme to foreshadow the intended connection.
- Coverage notes the series drew divided responses and underperformed, and reports suggest any unresolved ideas could surface in publishing rather than on screen.
