The Acolyte,Star Wars show set at the end of the Great Republic period, is becoming increasingly talked about. The creators announce that fans of the universe will get the kind of production they've been waiting for and if the actors are to be believed, the series, focusing on users of the Dark Side of the Force, in some respects may work out particularly well.

As revealed by the cast members in the Dagobah Dispatch podcast, fans of lightsaber duels will be satisfied, watching the aforementioned show. From the words of the actors, it seems that we are in for fights as good - if not better - as in The Phantom Menace.

"If you liked the sequence in which Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul fought, you will like this show," promised Manny Jacinto.

"The clashes in our series are even more specific in terms of physical movements than in the aforementioned fight. It is awesome, but a lot more work has been put into our training and stunts from the ground up," supplemented Charlie Barnett.

"I don't know if I should, but I will say this. You won't see guns in our series, which as a person who loves fights and stunts, I love," added Dafne Keen.

Dafne Keen and Charlie Barnett are playing the roles of Jedi in The Acolyte, and thus they will be the ones involved in the battles they tell us about. Given their assurances that the lightsaber duels will be kept at a high level, the show seems to be one of the most interesting upcoming Star Wars productions.

Recall that the show is expected to stand out from other Star Wars with something else. In addition to focusing on the Dark Side of the Force, it will most likely introduce completely new users, who are neither Jedi nor Sith. For the first time in the canon, we are also expected to witness Wookiee Jedi.

Premiere of Star Wars: The Acolyte is scheduled for 2024.
