Acolyte 2 could show the origins of the Knights of Ren in Star Wars
Nov 01, 2025Acolyte (Acolyte) could have connected several story arcs in Star Wars, but the series was cancelled.
Project creator Leslye Headland said in the art book forAcolytethat Kimir/Stranger becomes the first Ren. It was he who founded the Knights of Ren.
This was built into the character design and also the fact that we were going to introduce Darth Plagueis, whose apprentice Palpatine would become. Following the Rule of Two, a regulation that limited the Sith to only two people at a time, one way to preserve this rule was to make the Stranger the first Knight of Ren. This is a cult associated with the Sith that we know ultimately survived.
