Lucasfilm’s new Star Wars series are understandably swathed in secrecy, but none more so than The Acolyte. The upcoming series benefits a lot from its setting: It’ll take place 100 years before the fall of the Galactic Republic, where the prequels took place. But The Acolyte will be forging new territory in more ways than one, according to showrunner Leslye Headland.
