From creatorLeslye Headland,The Acolytestands far from the franchise we’ve seen, butthe connections toStar Warsloreremain plentiful.

“You carry a Jedi weapon.
But you are no Jedi.
The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.
“I am no Jedi,” everyone’s favorite Togruta said on multiple occasions.
InAhsoka, the character’s live-action solo series, Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) echoes these words again.
Did Cortosis Metal Make Its Live-Action ‘Star Wars’ Debut?
InA New Dawn, aStar Warsnovel byJohn Jackson Miller, a rare metal called cortosis made its first appearance.
It can redirect heat and absorb energy from blaster fire.
This seems to be our first clue that cortosis has come toStar Warslive-action.
This would be expanding on the abilities of cortosis, and reminding us of theX-Menfranchise’s Magneto, too.
Thankfully,The Acolyte’s reveal wasn’t spoiled in the trailer like Darth Maul’s was.
What was Master Ki-Adi-Mundi talking about?

That episode leaned heavily intothe parallels between the twins and a young Anakin Skywalker.
Her words mirror Anakin’s from his climactic battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor).
He holds his hand out toward her wound and Force-heals it, allowing her to slowly regain consciousness.

InThe Rise of Skywalker, we saw Rey (Daisy Ridley) use this ability multiple times.
Moreover,Kylo’s theme music can be heard as Qimir is healing and speaking to Osha.
“Two as one” has been a focus throughoutThe Acolyte.
