'The Acolyte' creator Leslye Headland talks about a possible season 2 and why she 'threw everything into season 1.'
But there is plenty more Headland has to say about what went down on the planet of Khofar, when Jacinto’s Qimir morphed into big bad the Stranger, who killedfilms, what we can expect in the next three episodes, as well as the likelihood of a second season and what that might entail. Grab your creepiest grinning helmet and read on.ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Killing a main character is obviously a big move and an exceedingly rare move, and then you do it twice in one episode.
You understand one aspect of the killing is that it's so shocking, but then he does explain it. He says, “They see my face, they all have to die.” He's not like, “I murdered them, that was fun!” He’s like, “I murdered them for preservation. They threaten my existence and therefore I have to kill them.” So, in a way, not that you agree with him necessarily, but you also understand.
Yeah, but I also wanted to introduce a bunch of things that exist in the expanded universe and bring them into live action, and that felt like if I introduced them at the same time period, then it becomes, “Well, why aren't those things that everybody knows exists?” He uses a lightsaber style called Trakata, which involves turning on and off the lightsaber, which is considered to be very devious.
My co-showrunner Jason Micallef wrote that line, and I always thought he was talking about himself, and that is something that's going to end up coming up for the two of them in the next episode — there is no triumph without despair. There is no good without bad. There is no light without dark. His philosophy is that it seems that his existence is meant to balance a particular amount of good that exists in the galaxy.
