As a devoted Star Wars fan, I was pleasantly surprised when Star Wars: The Acolyte, set over a century before The Phantom Menace, introduced us to familiar faces from a galaxy far, far away. Although we weren’t expecting major characters to make an appearance, the final scene gave us a glimpse of Jedi Master Yoda. Yet, this wasn’t just a random cameo meant to excite fans; showrunner Leslye Headland revealed that the series was aiming to restore balance to the Force. Intriguingly, the season finale marked the live-action debut of Darth Plagueis, and it seemed as though Yoda was working against his evil presence. Although a second season of Star Wars: The Acolyte hasn’t been confirmed yet, Headland has hinted that both Yoda and Plagueis could play significant roles in potential storylines.

In an unexpected development, the Turtles will not embark on this new adventure alone.
