The future ofStar Warslies in the past ; specifically in the High Republic Era , a time when the visible radiation of the Jedi radiate brightly across the galax . Leslye Headland ’s upcomingStar WarsTV show , The Acolyte , is lay out at the empennage - end of that era - a century before the Skywalker saga .
Lucasfilm has released a new trailer forThe Acolyte , unveiling what seems to be the Sith Lord of the High Republic Era . The Jedi of this time consider the Sith had been out for a millennium , and in truththey had forget almost everything about their ancient bane ; all they really knew was that they handle cherry lightsabers .
That makesThe Acolyte ’s new trailer all the more stunning - and forbidding . It seems the scales of symmetry have been tipped in favour of the dark side , which can only imply the Sith are at study . Any Jedi who encounter this cryptical , malevolent figure will either not be believed - or die before they can tell their tale .
The approaching Star Wars show The Acolyte will take the franchise into the luxurious High Republic epoch , but what mysteries await in the Jedi ’s lucky age ?
We Know So Little About The Sith Of The High Republic
The Sith of this sentence are a whodunit . It is potential this Sith Lord isDarth Plagueis , Palpatine ’s own master , who pick up how to conquer death - and unwisely authorise his secret on to his prentice . Palpatine enjoin Anakin Skywalker the level of Darth Plagueis inStar warfare : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith , but canon has yet to flesh out the detail . If this is Plagueis , then his power must be phenomenal .
Alternatively , The Acolytecould feature Darth Tenebrous , Plagueis ' own master key . Even less is have it off about Tenebrous ' tale in canon , although he has been confirmed as the designer of the Sith Infiltrator used by Darth Maul inStar Wars : Episode I - The Phantom Menace . GivenThe Acolyte ’s status as a prequel to the prequels , it would be so very meet to introduce him in this show .
The most exciting commentary , though , is that the scale have been shifted . This directly link to the balance of the Force , between the unclouded side and the darkness ; it suggest the Sith have somehow secure an advantage on a cosmic scale , through unknown means . If that is the event , Star warfare : The Acolytecould at last be uncover why the Chosen One was needed in the first position .
