The Acolyte’s Marketing Finally Makes Sense

Leslye Headland did say this was Frozen meets Kill Bill…

In truth , this closed book has been hiding in plain survey all along . Leslye Headland has always key the inspiration for this story as " Frozen meet Kill Bill , " but viewers had focused onKill Bill ’s influence onThe Acolyte- the promise of stunning martial arts . The real clue , in reality , was found in the character reference toFrozen ; the idea of siblings . Headland has turned the construct of twins into an geographic expedition of the dichotomy of the Force .

This may also connect to theSith Doctrine of the Force Dyad . introduce inStar warfare : The emanation of Skywalker , the Force Dyad is a mysterious bond between two Force - sensitives , and its power transcends time and space . There ’s some evidence the Dyad requires the presence of both light and grim , and Force - sensitive Gemini - each bound to a unlike side of the Force - could well give rise to this phenomenon . The possibility along may well explain why the Sith emerge from the shadow , for they have always venerated the Dyad - meaning they ’d be very interested indeed inThe Acolyte ’s stars .
