The Acolyte creator Leslye Headland has spoken about setting her new Star Wars show in an era previously untouched in live-action – The High Republic.
"When I first pitched the project, I suggested that it take place before The Phantom Menace," Headland tells GamesRadar+ of the decision to go back in time for the Disney Plus series. "Because we were telling a totally original story, meaning it wasn’t connected to the Skywalker saga or the Empire, Resistance, and Rebellion."
