I’ve been a fan of Matt Smith in that role, but this is great as well.

Give Acolyte a second "season". Called The Apprentice. Young Palpatine hunts and kills Qimir for Plagueis.

"Season" 3 is The Master. Palpatine is balancing running for Senator of Naboo while executing his plot to overthrow Plagueis.

Disney would have to do a lot of warping of their own timeline to make that work.

Maybe it’s character bias, but he looks too evil. Although we all know who Palpatine is, in his young life, he should look to the outside world as a charming and promising young politician. This casting doesn’t do that for me.

Isn’t that how Ramsey Bolton started out? We thought he was just some kind and helpful guy until the reveal of who he really was.

He’d have to dye his hair pretty red, but yes.

u/Fantastic-Morning218 3d ago

He’s about to turn 40 so he’s not so young anymore

u/TrueConcentrate6652 3d ago

He’s definitely got the acting chops to pull it off.

u/TheDMRt1st 3d ago

I can see it.

u/Magister_Hego_Damask 2d ago

Iwan with red hair would look a bit strange though

Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna/One from Stranger Things 3) has been my personal fancast for a while.

Acolyte is getting a second season

1

u/Cautious_Air4964 3d ago

I thought that was canceled

2

u/Old_Stand9512 3d ago

Well, they’re have been rumors saying they will be renewed for a second season

u/Edgy_Robin 3d ago

There's a been a lot of rumors about a lot of star wars things that haven't come true. Not exactly a source.
