is heading to Disney+ next week. As with most modern Star Wars things, it’s had its critics before it even came out. But it can’t be denied there hasn’t been an effort to give the fandom a balance of fan-pleasing Star Wars goodness and genuinely fresh perspectives. Indeed, Ghanaian-American writerhas recalled how her lack of Star Wars knowledge got her a job. With its creator seeking a different take on the mega-franchise.
“Leslye wanted this show to be accessible — no homework needed before watching,” said Jocelyn Bioh. Headland added Bioh to the writing team for The Acolyte specifically because Bioh was not a Star Wars devotee. “She asked me what I knew about ‘Star Wars,’ and my answer was, ‘Harrison Ford runs around space with a giant dog?’” Bioh recalled, laughing. “And Leslye said, ‘You’re hired.’”Star Wars: The Acolyte is set during the High Republic, approximately 100 years before The Phantom Menace. An investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master against a dangerous warrior from his past.
The Acolyte stars Lee Jung-jae, Amandla Stenberg, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, and Carrie-Anne Moss.Neil became a horror fan from just a nightmare-inducing glimpse of the Ghoulies VHS cover and a book on how to draw ghosts. It escalated from there and now that's almost all he writes and talks about.
