A Sith's eye view.

Speaking in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland revealed she'll be following her traditional approach - in focusing on the villains. "I was driven to write a story that essential was from the perspective of the bad guys," she confirmed. "I write that way my other work. I am always attracted to amoral - or immoral - characters, and finding the humanity within the villains.

Obviously, I have no idea how this series is going to turn out, but I don't know how anyone couldn't be excited about the cast and the prospect of exploring a new era of Star Wars at least. Worst case scenario there's a few hours of John Diggle Jr., Trinity, X-23 and Player 456 doing Jedi stuff.

Yaddle is alive and well. She actually showed up in Phase 2 High Republic books, about 300 years before this show.

Been watching Trek Strange New World and for some reason, I think Carol Kane would be excellent as Yaddle. There’s just something about her voice that has me think of Yaddle.

It’s different from Yoda, but it already is. But, to me, it keeps the same overall spirit that Frank Oz gave to Yoda.

Just out right revealing the Sith Master, huh.

Spoiler

Getting Tenebrous fans a little too excited, imo

Why wouldn't they just keep using Bryce Dallas Howard?

They likely will. I just prefer a voice that sounds more akin to Yoda. Carol Kane has a much more distinct voice in the same kind of way.

Really excited.

 

[Sithborg]

Part of me kind of wishes they hid the Sith Master more, but at least they are in armor. Cool looking armor.

And Verne speaks!!! Now, break out the lightwhip.

This looks great, can't wait

ehh… was looking forward since December 2020 the most along with Andor (which turned out to be great)
But I don’t feel it yet. I was expecting this to show only the Sith perspective and look a bit more different and ancient - this looks like it could be straight out of the Mandoverse.

 

[Weather Witch]

Look great! They've really invested in this one and I hope it pays off. Pre-production costs for this show alone are half of Ahsoka's estimated budget. Fingers crossed Dave Filoni gets a bit more money for season 2.

Really hope this is good enough to silence the YouTube grifters. I'd love to get multiple seasons and dive deeper in the High Republic era.

I hope the cliffhanger isn’t like this:
Some protagonist asks a unknown Naboo boy: what’s your name
unkown Naboo boy: Sheev

30-40 years before Palpatine was born. So, not happening. And given that Headlund apparently has plans for more seasons, doubt you will get a time jump teaser.

What you say makes sense…if they only care for consistency
I mean even dead he still lived

I mean, if she was that concerned about cameos, the Wookiee Jedi would be someone else, not a new creation. Given how much of a Star Wars nerd she is, you are more likely to see Tenebrous or Plaguis than Palpatine.

Though it is possible a Sith prophecy may be referenced.

Would love to see Plagues here. That story from Sheev is one of the best parts of ROTS.

I might be completely lost and I can't find anything on google - Vernestra was in Phantom Menace? Where?

She's only in the High Republic stuff. The quote says that her character has become closer in personality to the Phantom Menace Jedi than the young girl we met in the books/comics.

This looks really good. I saw some gripey YouTube videos about this but didn’t want to dignify them with giving them views. I assume the backlash is just the usual Star Wars incel misogyny?

I thought so, but just making sure since it can potentially be read both ways.

Mixed. Those people thrown in with cancel culture from the left, I'm assuming. Saying the left due to #MeToo and Weinstein. That said, I have absolutely no idea why the director is getting blamed for that since she worked as Weinstein's secretary for a short period of time and - how would she even know what he was up to in that way behind closed doors? To me, it really comes off as oddly blaming a woman for what a man did.
