    I think we could have more things from book and comics HIgh Republic in those small kids series than Acolyte.

    I'll say this:

    The High Republic-era series known as The Acolyte really has me interested in reading more of, well, The High Republic series of novels, even if they don't have anything to really do with The Acolyte TV show itself.

    Guess I'll get back to reading those novels!

    I know it's a different medium, so it won't be possible to ask specific questions about any character, but I think the HIgh Republic books in Acolyte will be a bit like Tales of Jedi for KOTOR, meaning some of the characters will relate to it, maybe even some stuff like Nihil armor, but generally it's going to be referred to as the distant past, not very far away, but still.

    I can certainly see that being the case. The impact of the High Republic can easily be referenced the way our own world constantly points back to the innovations of only a generation or two prior and has their world formed by the gains and losses of names they all recall because they are only a few years in the past.

    “No—please don’t!”-Palpatine

    Lol I have to wonder if
    Dafne’s playing a Sith or a Jedi or acolyte or none of those. Also still waiting on confirmation Muun’s live long lives in canon from Disney/Lucas. Can’t believe they never clarified that.

    I'm very excited for this show regardless, but you know what would be the absolute icing on the cake? If it had really high quality lightsaber choreography. We haven't had a truly excellent saber duel since Revenge of the Sith. Actually maybe there were one or two in Visions.

    The Acolyte summary with some production stuff at the end. Lesley Headland will be directing the first episode. Its probably 8 episodes, but I would love 10-12 episodes. This might be the most expensive Star Wars show.

    Since this will the start of a new era, do you think it will start with an opening prologue. Maybe similar to what Rings of Power. Tells of an evil thats defeated but is rising again soon. I suspect the premiere episode will be the longest maybe an hour or more. And it will be mostly show us this new era with exposition with characters in the Jedi order and Galactic Republic, then you have characters in outer rim that will become connected to the sith.

    Ooh, that would be something! Imagine if our first (live action) on screen High Republic show also gave us our first, brief look at the canon Old Republic. =P~

    Brief Old Republic look and see Jedi and sith fight in shadows. You are told the wars of the sith and jedi, destroyed mutch of the Galaxy and since sith's great defeat by the Jedi, the galaxy been on an era of healing for 900 years.
