The Acolyte's Sith Lord character, initially meant for a second season, was revealed earlier in the series due to actor Manny Jacinto's outstanding screen test, according to creator Leslye Headland. The character Qimir, played by Jacinto, was supposed to be a season 2 tease but impressed Headland so much that the story was rewritten to include him more prominently in the current season. This unexpected twist has now positioned Qimir as a central figure in The Acolyte, generating anticipation and theories for future episodes.
