Was the Acolyte truly the prequels' prequel?
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for The Acolyte
Coming from showrunner Leslye Headland, it's no secret that The Acolyte has faced more than its fair share of controversy and criticism. While the vast majority comes from a place of toxicity and intolerance coming from vocal subsects of the Star Wars fandom, there are justified criticisms to be made regarding the series' writing and overall structure.
Every Way Acolyte Sets Up The Phantom Menace Connections And Key Foreshadowing To The Skywalker Saga Firstly, The Acolyte admittedly does feature some intriguing ties to The Phantom Menace, as well as to the greater Skywalker saga. This includes simple references, such as featuring the Trade Federation in the show's premiere.
There are also repeated arcs between The Acolyte and Phantom Menace. Case in point, Master Sol and his desire to train the uniquely powerful Osha despite being too old is an intentional mirror to Qui-Gon and Anakin. It's certainly a prime example of the classic line by George Lucas about the Star Wars timeline being like poetry with repeated stanzas from era to era.
