Amandla Stenberg as Mae beside a body of water in The Acolyte
The Big Picture Leslye Headland has one of the most enviable jobs in Hollywood — tasked with creating a new project in the Star Wars galaxy. And like any fan, she's going deep into the universe to pluck inspiration from places that will delight the fandom. One such inspiration is the iconic video game, Knights of the Old Republic 2, as Headland explained to Collider's Perri Nemiroff.
"A character that when I first encountered her playing the game, I was really blown away by her characterization as well as the journey that she took the protagonist through. It felt like a type of character that I would be interested in building a narrative around , so that was kind of what I was bringing to it in addition to my overall fandom. That was the thing that I kind of picked up on when I was brainstorming about this.
A Brief History of Witches in 'Star Wars' The inclusion of witches in Star Wars has been explored before, especially with the Nightsisters in The Clone Wars and their recent appearance in Ahsoka. Headland’s approach will lean more into this mystical aspect, weaving it into the story of The Acolyte and introducing it to a new audience.
