As most Star Warse movies and shows do, The Acolyte begins with a text card explaining the basic premise of the series. But there’s something cool about this particular version of this trope. The text is colored blue, a callback to the very first “A long time ago, in a galaxy far away” in the original Star Wars. But the font the words are typed in is different — it’s actually the font used (in yellow) in the classic Star Wars crawl. So this opening actually combines two different Star Wars tropes into a single image.
That’s just one of the many secrets, hidden references, and Easter eggs in the premiere of The Acolyte. Our latest Star Wars videos shows you where you can find all of them. First, let’s check out all the secrets in the first episodes…
