Leslye Headland reveals what inspired that controversial approach to kicking off the narrative.
With Star Wars TV series like The Mandalorian, Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars: Andor, and Star Wars: Ahsoka featuring characters that connect to established corners of franchise lore, we know the fate of many of these figures based on ancillary appearances. In Star Wars: The Acolyte , however, the setting of The High Republic means no one's fate is known to the audience, allowing the series to open with an entirely unexpected death.
Headland continued,"Even if you already know it's going to happen, it doesn't have to be a big gotcha moment. It just has to be a moment where the emotional and the physical -- meaning the fights -- melt together. Carrie-Anne, not just being an action legend, is also a phenomenal actress.
"Not to compare myself at all to Vince Gilligan, but the cold open to Breaking Bad is one of the best cold opens ever. So whenever I sit down to write anything, I'm like, 'Well, I won't be able to top that, but in my show, what's the version of that?'" Headland pointed out to Entertainment Weekly."And it felt like the best I could come up with was killing Carrie-Anne Moss. It was icing Trinity and just having everyone go, 'I'm sorry.
