Report: Cut Galactic Senate Scene From The Acolyte Surfaces in Forthcoming Art Book

The disclosure stems from an official making-of volume due February 3, with excerpts circulating through secondary reporting.

Overview

  • Leslye Headland is quoted in the upcoming The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte as saying a finale sequence featuring the Galactic Senate was removed late in development.
  • The omitted moment would have more directly connected the High Republic–set series to the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy.
  • The book, authored by Kristin Baver, is scheduled to be published on February 3, 2026.
  • The HoloFiles first surfaced the detail, which was subsequently reported by The Direct.
  • The claim is currently based on material from the forthcoming book and has not been independently corroborated beyond those reports.
