one Acolyte’The biggest advantage is that it has almost no legacy at all Star Wars figure. The High Republic period determines much of the content, as does creator Leslie Headland’s story, which delves into aspects the series has yet to explore.
However, there is one character that everyone knows and was alive during that time period, and the show doesn’t introduce them until the very last minute. This was a decision not taken lightly.
After lying about what happened to Thor and other dead Jedi, Jedi Master Venestra Lo decided to tell her superiors what had happened. “I’m sorry to bother you, Master,” Vernestra said. “We need to talk.” As the scene ends, we see Master Yoda’s distinct green ears perk up.
“I would say there were some almost spiritual conversations about using such an iconic character,” Headland told Inverse. “I feel very strongly about this because I feel that for me Vernestra is in such a serious situation that she really needs to be taken care of internally. She already feels the pressure: ‘If there is no suspect, then We have a real problem. ” Reyncool suggested an internal review of the Jedi, apparently in a small committee, but Chancellor Drelik did not confirm or deny the request. It felt like she had to report to her superiors and let him know what was going on, And maybe tell him what happened between her and her apprentice.
That’s the reason for the story, but Headland and Lucasfilm knew that introducing such a popular and well-explored character could also have a bigger impact.
“I’m just interested The Phantom Menace” Headland continues. “When he immediately said, ‘There is always a master and a disciple.'” He wasn’t alive during the New Sith Wars, so I guess it’s possible this was a message passed down from generation to generation. But because I have the opportunity Star Wars, I just think a more interesting version is that he has some understanding of what’s going on – and this wouldn’t be the first time Yoda is hiding something from the Senate and the Republic. exist Clone Wars In season six, it was revealed that he covered up the creation of the Clone Army and asked everyone not to tell who was behind it. So I feel like if we were allowed to talk and do more seasons, there would be some interesting stuff there to explore. There is one big About the conversation that included him. But I just wanted to… I mean, this is my show.
Yes. Now, hopefully if season 2 happens, we’ll see how Yoda handles the information about the pair of murderous dark side villains. Will he agree with Venestra’s lie? Will he go find them himself? Come on Lucasfilm, renew this show!
