In the new book *The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte, *a scene that has been long speculated about, but never confirmed to have existed, has been revealed: a kiss between protagonist Osha (Amandla Stenberg) and antagonist Qimir (Manny Jacinto).
Or in the far far past. Doesn't this take place during Yoda's lifetime?
They were going with an idea too lore shaking to be done with the level of abandon they appeared to be doing it, and were doing it way too damn close to existing canon in the timeline to pull it off.
Like, I couldn't give less of a shit about that one Jedi council member being around something like 30 years before he was born.
But you can't put a baby born from the force that damn close to Anakin without fucking up part of the core lore of the setting, the prohecy.
You can't have Sith running around this blatantly when the Prequels have Jedi insisting they all died out and haven't been seen since long before this show's place in the timeline. They were obviously going for a cover up type thing, but the only way they could have reasonably pulled it off with how many people knew would be to kill off effectively everyone who doesn't appear in later canon.
Kotor does cool shit with deconstruction of the jedi and the sith, and it can do it without caring too much about canon due to being far far in the past. It also was far better written.
