'Midnight Mass' Creator Believes The 'Star Wars' Universe Needs A Horror Film, And We Agree
The saga has grown so much since A New Hope first hit theaters in 1977. It has spawned many films, animated series, live-action series, books, short stories, comics, and videogames. Many more projects are coming down the pipeline in the near future. For the most part, we could say that Star Wars works stay firmly in the adventure genre. It has experimented with darker scenarios, like when our heroes turned to the dark side of the Force. It has depicted stories of political turmoil, like Ahsoka Tano’s trial, the fall of the Galactic Senate, and Princess Leia’s fall from grace during the New Republic Era. The upcoming Andor series hopes to portray stories of espionage set in the Star Wars universe. It has even dabbled in the winter holiday season with the Star Wars Holiday Special. Despite specials like LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales, and Joe Schreiber’s Legends novel, Death Troopers, the franchise is lacking in the horror genre. A certain filmmaker wants to change all that.

Not much is known about The Acolyte other than that Lucasfilm President, Kathleen Kennedy, described it as a “mystery-thriller” and it will take place towards the end of the High Republic Era. However, new information may have just released the show’s working title, as well as the name of the main character.

How 'The Book Of Boba Fett' Could Connect To 'The War Of The Bounty Hunters'
