Star Wars: The Acolyte Creator Teases More Plagueis in Possible Season 2

As a long-time Star Wars fan with countless hours spent immersed in this galaxy far, far away, I can’t help but express my excitement over the intriguing introduction of Darth Plagueis in the season 1 finale of The Acolyte. This elusive Sith Lord, shrouded in mystery since his first mention in Revenge of the Sith, finally graced our screens with a chilling presence that left me yearning for more.


In the finale of “Star Wars: The Acolyte” Season 1, available on Disney+, fans got a tantalizing look at Darth Plagueis, a enigmatic and ominous character from the Star Wars universe, first mentioned in “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” in 2005. Although viewers have heard about him for years, they haven’t witnessed his live-action presence. Showrunner Leslye Headland has expressed her intention to delve deeper into this Sith character, but with no official word on a second season, it remains uncertain if these plans will come to fruition.

In simpler terms, Headland believes that Plagueis was aware or soon would be of the new aspect of the Force that Mae and Osha possess. He explained this to Collider regarding the unique origins of these characters. Criticisms questioning why only women have this power don’t hold water for him due to the difference in timelines, and he is excited about the potential storyline of Plagueis seeking this power instead of already having it.

“She went on to explain, ‘Imagine if in [Avengers:] Infinity War, Thanos already had all the Infinity Stones at the beginning. It would be like we’ve got two hours of fighting ahead with no real challenge. We’d feel the desperation – ‘We need to stop him! We need to reach him before… Oh, no! We’re losing ground at every turn.’ But then comes the climax – ‘With this power, we must…’ The tension rises as the stakes get higher.’ For her, this setup makes for a much more engaging storyline.”

Since his initial appearance in “Revenge of the Sith,” the intriguing past of Plagueis has come to light. In this film, Palpatine spoke to Anakin Skywalker about his remarkable control over the Force, claiming he could even keep people from dying. This revelation convinced Anakin to delve deeper into the dark side of the Force, eventually leading him to become a Sith Lord.

As a dedicated Star Wars fan, I can’t help but get thrilled whenever a new piece of media is released, as I can’t help but wonder if it might shed light on the enigmatic character of Plagueis. Although many tales about this Sith Lord have been moved to the “Legends” category, his mysterious reputation continues to captivate us. With the recent live-action debut, my excitement has reached new heights, and I eagerly anticipate the day when Plagueis will make another appearance in the Star Wars universe.

Stay tuned for updates on the possible future of Star Wars: The Acolyte.
