The Acolyte Inspired By This Iconic Star Wars Game
There’s still a lot we don’t know about The Acolyte, the upcoming Star Wars live-action series on Disney+ that takes place roughly 100 years before the prequel trilogy. While most of the main characters of the show have been revealed, the trailers have only offered a few fleeting glimpses of an assassin whose face is hidden by a mask. Now, series creator Leslye Headland is shedding some light on the inspiration behind that character, and it came from a classic Star Wars video game.
Via Den of Geek, Headland confirmed that the character that caught her eye was Darth Traya, the primary villain of 2004’s Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.
“Darth Traya really stuck out to me as an inspiration,” noted Headland, who also revealed that she was tempted to introduce another figure from the lore of the Sith.
