As a hardcore Star Wars fan and avid gamer, I was absolutely blown away by the final episode of The Acolyte. The way showrunner Leslie Headland managed to secure those massive cameos from none other than Yoda and Darth Plagueis is truly impressive.
The producer of “Star Wars: The Acolyte” had to persuasively argue for Yoda’s appearance in the final scene. After the series finale was released, Hanelle M. Culpepper, the director, discussed this decision with Lyvie Scott from Inverse. It seems that showrunner Leslie Headland had to strongly advocate for incorporating such a cherished character from the “Star Wars” universe into their storyline. Given the expansive scope of The High Republic within the franchise, many sharp-eyed fans correctly surmised that Yoda’s presence would be necessary if the timelines aligned properly. Introducing him towards the end is an effective choice when handling such a significant scandal. However, it was kept under wraps as a closely guarded secret until the very last minute.
As a dedicated gamer, I can relate to her determination. I had to put up a tough fight to win that level, but every challenge was part of my strategy. I truly admire her for not only conquering it but also making it look effortless. The game’s creators are extremely cautious with their brand and characters. They have numerous storylines in development, ensuring everything aligns and makes perfect sense within the game’s universe.
She chuckled, sharing, “Maintaining that secret was the toughest part for me, as everyone is always eager to learn new things. I was thrilled to collaborate with Yoda, but I couldn’t reveal a thing. After the scene was broadcasted – just as the end credits began to play – I felt an immense relief and exclaimed, ‘At last, I can share it now!'”
The director expressed his concern, “My husband objected, ‘Hold on, let’s not reveal that just yet. Let the audience discover it.’ So I haven’t shared anything about that experience yet. But what an thrilling day that was for me and Leslye! When they unveiled the trunk where he was hidden, his presence with the puppeteer was truly breathtaking. The way they manipulate eyes and ears to bring it to life left me utterly fascinated.”
Another Massive Cameo In The Acolyte
In an unexpected twist, Darth Plagueis made an appearance alongside Yoda in the finale of this season’s Pac episode. Leslye Headland, the showrunner, wanted to add the notorious Sith Lord to the mix as well. According to IndieWire, viewers would have seen Darth Plagueis instead of Yoda in the closing scenes if plans had originally gone that way.
In every retelling, Plagueis played a pivotal role in the climax, Headland mentioned. There was an alternative ending where he took Yoda’s place, serving as the focal point instead. The desire is to experience Osha’s victory and her alliance with The Stranger. However, Plagueis intruded upon that significant moment.
