Summary
With just a few days remaining until the highly anticipated premiere ofStar Wars: The Acolyte, fans continue to speculate and theorize. Recently, one fan debunked an exciting theory, highlighting its lack of coherence.
As the release ofStar Wars: The Acolyteapproaches, fans are eager for more details about the characters, particularly the Sith. Following the release of the previous trailer, fans have been engrossed in speculation about the identity of a mysterious character. However, one theory in particular has left fans scratching their heads as it just does not make sense.
As speculation mounts over the mysterious Sith character shown briefly inthe previous trailer forThe Acolyte, fans continue to debate their true identity. Despite numerous theories, including the anticipation of Darth Plagueis’s big screen debut, no official confirmation has emerged. One fan, @LyrFarseeker, argued againstthe plausibility of the Darth Plagueis theoryduring a Twitter discussion, citing the character’s potential birth timeline in relation to the events depicted inThe Acolyte.
Given thatThe Acolyteexplores a part ofStar Warshistory untouched by previous stories, the absence of an established timeline opens up endless possibilities. The series delves into the new canon, where information about the Sith characters is scarce, allowing for creative freedom. In the Legends canon, Darth Plagueis’s birth falls within a timeline that does not align withThe Acolyte, renderingprevious fan theoriesunlikely. Some fans suggest Darth Tenebrous as a more fitting candidate, given the context. With Tenebrous being Plagueis’s master, his considerable power, and the absence of any on-screen portrayal, this theory carries substantial potential. Speculation about Palpatine’s return was dismissed due to his birth occurring48 years after the series' setting, making it impossible. However, the possibility remains that this Sith character is entirely new, set for a grand introduction to theStar Warsuniverse. With the series exploring uncharted territory, fans are eagerly awaiting to see who his mysterious character might be and how they fit into the larger narrative ofThe Acolyte.
With creators maintaining strict confidentiality, information regardingThe Acolyteremains elusive, leaving fans to speculate based on theories alone. Little is known about the main characters, let alone the villains, in the series. Positioned asa fresh narrative within theStar Warsuniverse,The Acolyteunfolds its story a century prior to the events depicted in the prequel trilogy. This uncharted territory grants creators the freedom to craft their own canon, offering a unique and unexplored narrative landscape. Despite the shroud of secrecy, the prospect of whatThe Acolyteholds for its fans remains intriguing.
The first two episodes ofStar Wars: The Acolytewill premiere on June 4, exclusively on Disney Plus.
