One of the writers for the upcoming Star Wars TV show The Acolyte had never seen the sci-fi series prior to joining the writers room. Series creator Leslye Headland told The Hollywood Reporter that she intentionally hired this person–who only knew the series might have a dog in it–because they could help question some of the decisions that Headland, a lifelong fan, wanted to make.
“I just thought it would be good to have the perspective of a person that had literally never seen Star Wars until she was in the room. And she said to me, ‘Why do you want me in this room? I’ve never seen Star Wars. I have no idea. I think there’s a dog in it, but I don’t know anything.’ And I was like, ‘First of all, you’re an incredible writer, but that’s why I want you here. I want you to be questioning narrative.'”Come from Sports betting site VPbet
Headland added: “I don’t want myself, who’s a lifelong fan, to just be relying on particular references in order to create emotional beats. I want those emotional beats to be earned and checked by someone that isn’t super familiar with it.”
