THE ACOLYTE actor talks about his death – “There are so many directors who are afraid to kill their characters”

The fifth episode of Star Wars: The AcolyteTitled “Night,” it was an emotional ride for fans of the series, as it saw the mysterious Sith Master go on a rampage and kill several Jedi characters.

Obviously this article will contain spoilers so proceed with caution.

There was a massive lightsaber fight in the episode that turned out to be a Jedi bloodbath, including some major characters meeting their demise.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the showrunner Leslye Promontory spoke about killing off these characters, saying, “I thought someone would stop me and no one did. I thought someone would say, ‘This is too far!’ But they didn’t.”

Two of the main characters who were massacred include Daphne AcuteJecki e Charlie BarnettYord Fandar, who are two of the main characters. Keen praised Headland for the decision to kill off his character.

Keen said, “There are so many directors in blockbuster franchises who are so afraid to kill off their characters, and are so comfortable bringing them back to life, and all these little writerly tricks that I think are pretty cheeky.”

He continued: “I really like that she was actually killing people. Because if you don’t make it dangerous, then why are we here? Why do we care about the story? Why do we care?

“Leslye has such backbone as a writer that you can fall in love with these characters and then slaughter them all like pigs and go, ‘Yeah, that’s our villain.

“We’re not just saying it’s so big and scary, we’re really saying it showing how big and scary it is.'”

This is for fans of the series, but for me the writing and story are so weak that I didn’t feel emotionally invested in these characters. So when they died, I didn’t really care.

It’s interesting, I have a group of friends who like the show and a group of fans who don’t, so the conversations I’ve had between the two have been fun!
