This era is rich for storytelling for a couple of reasons.
But we know this is the calm before the storm.
Rumors have abounded about this show.
A quote from Headland about apocket universe and timelinewas probably a misconstrued reference to the High Republic era.
Its possible the Acolyte of the new show is a member of one of these religious orders.
A Sith acolyte would undoubtedly be interested in learning as much as she can about the ancient order.
Whatever ends up happening, we look forward to seeing what Headland brings to the franchise.
The Acolytewill premiere on Disney+.
No release date has been set.
