Toxic Fans Make Star Wars a Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy
Leslye Headland’s upcoming “The Acolyte” series is already causing a stir, and it hasn’t even premiered yet. Because apparently, having a show about the dark side of the Force is just too much for some people to handle.
The Acolyte Goes Full Indiana Jones
The Acolyte is set to explore the darker side of the Force and provide a deeper look into the history of the Star Wars universe … with whips!
The Acolyte will be the first Star Wars live-action series to focus on the dark side of the Force and the Sith. While the franchise has previously touched on the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the rise of Darth Vader, this series will delve into the origins of the Sith and their influence on the galaxy during the High Republic era. This time period, which takes place 200 years before the events of the Skywalker saga, is relatively unexplored in the Star Wars canon and will offer a fresh perspective on the Force and its users.
One of the most exciting aspects of The Acolyte is the introduction of the lightwhip to the live-action Star Wars universe. This weapon, which was first introduced in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, is a rare and dangerous weapon used by the Sith. It is essentially a lightsaber with a whip-like extension, making it a formidable and unpredictable weapon in combat. Fans have long been clamoring for a live-action adaptation of the lightwhip and The Acolyte will finally bring it to the screen.
The Acolyte will also feature the luxurious golden robes worn by the Sith during the High Republic era. These robes, which are seen in the promotional material for the series, are a symbol of wealth and power among the Sith and are meant to evoke a sense of ancient royalty. The incorporation of these robes will add a new visual element to the Star Wars universe and further differentiate the High Republic era from other time periods in the franchise.
With its exploration of the dark side of the Force, the introduction of the lightwhip, and the incorporation of the iconic golden robes, The Acolyte is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the Star Wars universe. Fans can look forward to a deeper understanding of the Sith and their influence on the galaxy, as well as a visually stunning and action-packed series. The release date for The Acolyte has not yet been announced, but it is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2022. and so much more
