However it seems some of that might change, asStar Wars: The Acolytewill supposedly take inspiration from the games in its story and world-building.
In an IGN interview withThe Acolyte’sshowrunner Leslye Headland, the possibility of old-school Sith and Jedi popping up in the series was discussed, and the answer was quite promising.
Headlandsaid, “While we don’t get into that particular lore, there were some things in Legends that I wanted to drag out because I felt they were really interesting, not only to the storyline but to myself as a fan … I thought, well, I’d love to do that.”
Since the show is set during the High Republic era,beforeEpisode 1- The Phantom Menace, we definitely won’t be getting any Legends characters popping up for cameos. Although that doesn’t mean we won’t hear the odd Darth Revan namedrop, or maybe even a Bastila Shan reference.

Only time will tell what the showrunners have planned for the series, and there’s always the chance of a second season fleshing out the Old Republic lore even further.
Star Wars: The Acolytewill premiere on Disney+ on 4 June next month, and will run for eight episodes in total.
