The new Star Wars series, The Acolyte, offers us a very different perspective from anything we've seen before. It focuses on a time before the second trilogy of films (Episodes I, II and III), a time that has only been covered in comics, novels and some video games such as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
Yes ok The Acolyte While it hasn't won over all fans, there is certainly a large sector of the Star Wars community that is enjoying it very much, so much so that they are paying close attention to every detail. For example, during the end of Episode 5 of Season 1. Did you notice the music that was playing?
At the end of the episode, when the mysterious Sith is unmasked, the most astute fans heard a very familiar song: a version of Kylo Ren's theme played, which caused alarm bells to ring about the villain's nature. Is he really a Sith? Because he never openly admits to being one, not as such. Then fans began to theorize about the Knights of Ren.
The showrunner of The AcolyteLeslye Headland, has confirmed that the use of Kylo Ren's song is not a random thing, but there is a reason… although she won't reveal it. “It's there on purpose, but I can't tell you why and I can't explain what it is. You'll see,” IGN reports. It's strange because there are still many years until the Knights of Ren merge. Episode 6 premieres today, so it's time to watch it to see if it offers any answers to this mystery.
