The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland has revealed that one of the writers on her new Star Wars show was completely unfamiliar with the franchise, but that was beneficial to the series.
"I just thought it would be good to have the perspective of a person that had literally never seen Star Wars until she was in the room. And she said to me, 'Why do you want me in this room? I’ve never seen Star Wars. I have no idea. I think there’s a dog in it, but I don’t know anything,'" Headland recalled to The Hollywood Reporter.
