The Acolyte showrunner defends one of the most controversial aspects of the scrapped Star Wars show, but jokes "I'll take the L"

The Acolyte.

The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland has weighed in on one of the most surprisingly controversial moments in the now-scrapped Star Wars show: a canon debate about the age of a minor prequels character.

You might remember the Ki-Adi-Mundi debate that kicked off after the High Council Jedi had a cameo in The Acolyte episode 4 – all because of a CD-ROM from the '90s. The Star Wars: Episode I Insider's Guide from 1999 puts his age at 60 at the time of the prequels, but The Acolyte is set 100 years before that trilogy.
