Overview
- - The Art of The Acolyte reveals the series’ original working title, The Lost Sister.
- - The book clarifies that the show’s masked antagonist was conceived as a secret Sith master.
- - Headland planned a late-season introduction of a major figure from Star Wars lore rather than an early reveal.
- - The volume documents alternate edit choices for the finale, including a reworked closing beat that was ultimately cut.
- - With Season 2 canceled and Lucasfilm shifting focus away from the High Republic era, these intentions are unlikely to be realized on screen, even as Headland maintains the show achieved its goals despite polarized reception.
