The Acolyte has the most Jedi out of any Star Wars movie or show
Despite that, showrunner Leslye𝕴 Headland says the new Star Wars show will focus on the villains

The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland says her upcoming High Republic-set 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus seri♉es will have the most Jedi out of any Star Wars movie 🅺or show.
"We are looking at a time period where the Jedi are at the height of their power," Headland told of the era set hundreds of years before the prequel, one which stands out in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars timeline as a golden age for the lig𝓡htsaber-wielding💖 peacekeepers.
As per the show’s synopsis, the series will revolve around a former Padawan who reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but "the forces they confro꧙nt are more sinister than 🧔they ever anticipated"
But it’s not 💮just countless Jedi we’ll see in what has already been described as a mystery-thriller that will foc𒈔us on "emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era."
"What 🐟makes this show different and interesting is it's from the perspective of the bad guys or the villains of Star Wars," Headland said.
"These are people who are uওsing the Force in their own way, dipping into the darker sides of the Force, and are doing it without beinജg sanctioned by the larger institution – which in this case is the Jedi." She added, "I just thought it was very interesting to do a show about the bad guys."
"It's almost flipped. We have more Jedi than you've seen 🐼in any of the Star Wars content, but at the same time I think you see more morally ambiguous characters than you’ve seen in other꧙ Star Wars content."

Of course, you tꦜhink Jedi, you think lightsabers. Star Wars has had some incredible duels over the years that have entered pop culture folklore – Duel of the Fates and Anakin and Obi-Wan’s high groꦜund battle to name but a few. To that end, Headland also teases what to expect from the action side of The Acolyte.
"I think I can say this pretty confidently: I don’t think you’re going to ꦦsee action in other shows the way you see it and utilized in our show."
The Acolyte, starring Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, and Manny Jacinto, is set for release in 2024. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:First footage wa🐼s released behind closed doors at Star Wars Celebration, an event that also saw the announcement of three more live-action movieജs.
