After nearly a year of silence following the cancellation of Star Wars: The Acolyte, series creator Leslye Headland has finally broken her silence in a new and remarkably candid interview with The Wrap. And if there’s one thing she makes clear from the start, it’s this: “I love my show, I have no regrets, and I know that it was wonderful.” For a series that sparked passionate debate across the fandom, Headland’s comments offer the clearest picture yet of what went into the show — and what ultimately led to its abrupt cancellation. “The Acolyte Was Always a Major Risk” Headland doesn’t shy away from acknowledging that The Acolyte was a gamble from day one.

Disney Quietly Swaps Rogue One Thumbnail — Now It’s the Cassian Show (Apparently)
If you opened up Disney+ recently and thought, “Wait a minute, wasn’t Rogue One about Jyn Erso?”, you’re not imagining things. Disney has subtly updated the thumbnail for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, placing Cassian Andor front and center—with Jyn and K-2SO noticeably playing backup in the shadows.

Andor’s Everyday Heroes: How the Star Wars Series Redefined Heroism in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars has never been short on heroes – from farmboys with destinies to mysterious Jedi and fearless princesses. But in a franchise often preoccupied with grand prophecies and Chosen One narratives, the Disney+ series Andor dared to shine the spotlight on the little guys. This show isn’t about Skywalkers or Palpatines; it’s about the everyday individuals who choose to resist tyranny, even when they don’t have Force powers or royal blood.
