Star Wars: The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland explains why she chose to set the show in The High Republic era.

Star Wars: The Acolyte brings viewers to a whole new era of the Star Wars timeline: The High Republic Era, which ran from 350 years to 200 years before the start of the Skywalker Saga. However, The Acolyte will be the first Star Wars property to bring the story of the High Republic into its waning days, roughly 100 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

"If I want to tell my own story, what am I the most interested in? And it was the rise of the Sith," Headland explained."How did the 'Rule of Two' continue for all of this time until Sidious and Maul reveal themselves in The Phantom Menace? So that just sparked, for me, the most interesting place for it to take place.

"I think The High Republic is just a place where the Jedi find themselves almost a little too safe," Headland explained."They're almost in this place where they can't imagine a threat coming at them. So I think what Mae starts with them is something that really ruffles their feathers. They definitely were not expecting someone to come at them straight-on."
