Part 4/9:
Leslie Headland, the showrunner of The Acolyte, has made headlines for her outspoken views and the decisions behind the series. Headland, a former personal assistant to Harvey Weinstein, has a history of deleting tweets and has openly discussed her identity as a queer woman. Her personal identity seems to play a significant role in shaping The Acolyte, with some critics arguing that her focus is more on political and social agendas than on delivering a compelling Star Wars story.
