In an interview with ComicBook, “The Acolyte” creator Leslye Headland appeared that, as a lot as she could have needed to have Yoda hobble right into a scene, the legendary little inexperienced man was off limits, together with another present “Star Wars” characters, for that matter. “Are you able to think about?” the fan-turned-showrunner mentioned on the prospect of Grasp Yoda swinging by. “Are you able to think about in the event that they had been like, ‘No drawback, you should use Yoda. Not an enormous deal. Go for it.’”
However whereas it appears like we gained’t be seeing any acquainted Jedi leaping into scenes for “The Acolyte,” it doesn’t imply different present characters from the period gained’t make appearances. “We’re pulling characters from the Excessive Republic and characters from EU,” Headland shared, “however that’s it.”
We don’t wish to be too skeptical about Headway’s Yoda denial, however this wouldn’t be the primary time a artistic behind one in all Disney’s massive franchises tried to tug the Jedi cloak over fandom’s eyes in an effort to keep away from spoiling an eventual shock. Logistically, it simply is smart that, with a backstory so long as Yoda’s, having him be current for the occasions of “The Acolyte” is completely believable. At this time limit, he’d be pushing 800 years previous, so he ought to nonetheless be a outstanding presence inside the Jedi order. For now, although, we’ll take Headway at her phrase — however we gained’t be shocked if Yoda exhibits up earlier than “The Acolyte” wraps its first season.
