Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The next Star Wars TV show, The Acolyte, will subtly rewrite one of George Lucas' most important themes - in the best possible way. Star Wars has always been the story of light versus dark, but Lucas chose to make this explicit when he introduced the Chosen One prophecy in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. He revealed that Anakin Skywalker was destined to bring "balance to the Force.
Amandla Stenberg : Star Wars of course, is about the balance of light and dark, and the relationship between light and dark. I don't think that relationship is purely just oppositional; I think it's so much more complex than that. That was inspired so much by Eastern philosophy, and that's been a huge part of the legacy of Star Wars; this concept of yin and yang. I think Leslye wrote from that place, and when I thought about physically embodying that, it was a huge North Star for me.
I would say if you keep watching the show, you keep watching people go from balanced to imbalanced, rather than from good to bad. I think that no one's all bad or all good. There's always a little bit of bad in the good and a little bit of good in the bad, and I think it's all about going up and down that spectrum for these characters. So, don't draw too many conclusions about people until you finish the season.
