God please no, Filoni just leave it as some crackpot theory of Qui-Gon's. Don't do it.

This has potential as it isn't dealing with the same baggage as Obi-wan had to deal with. It's still has some prequel-like pitfalls it could fall into, but as a whole every character could be in peril. Obi-wan had almost zero suspense with the major players.
I have a bit of hope for The Acolyte, but in this current era I'm going to have to see it be good before I expect it to be good.
"The Acolyte, a Star Wars show dubbed "Frozen meets Kill Bill" by showrunner Leslye Headland"
This doesnt feel great, but Ill give it a go obviously. Im not totally sold on this director.
That trailer has some very cool looking scenes in it. Although the point of the trailer is to get people excited, and I didn't catch much of a plot narrative for the series other than "Someone is killing the Jedi." I was super hyped after the Obi-Wan trailer and that series was a disaster. Word is that Kathleen Kennedy was more hands on with this series, so I'm guessing its gonna be pretty rough. Hope I'm wrong because this franchise badly needs a win.
From what I understand is this director wants to tell the story from the villains perspective. Disney is on a kick right now with this idea, I kind of hate it. I know they are looking for fresh takes, which I applaud to an extent. But removing good vs evil for "there is no good and evil, only perspective and circumstance" is lame. The original Star Wars and cough cough the sequels had a villain or two that was a memorable menace. The heroes went through some sort of character evolution overcoming weaknesses/obstacles in themselves to defeat the villain. Im just struggling to care about this modern storytelling.
