Leslye Headland Hints at More Jecki Lon and Yord in the Future

As a gamer with a deep appreciation for intricately crafted narratives, I’m both saddened and intrigued by the unexpected turn of events in “The Acolyte.” The brutal demise of fan-favorite characters Jecki Lon and Yord at the hands of Qimir left me reeling, but I can’t help but be intrigued by Leslye Headland’s hints about potential future explorations of their backstories.


As a dedicated gamer following “The Acolyte” series, I’m eagerly anticipating the upcoming final episode. In this installment, we’ll hopefully unravel the fates of intriguing characters like Osha, Mae, Qimir, and Master Sol. Episode 5 left us stunned as beloved figures Jecki Lon and Yord met their untimely ends at the hands of Qimir. This chilling turn of events showcased his ominous and perilous side.

Headland explained that the shocking turn in episode 5 wasn’t about uncovering The Stranger’s true identity, which had been hinted at as the quirky poison vendor since the beginning. Instead, the true surprise came from the daring move by the showrunners to write off two significant characters well before the end of the series.

In a recent interview during a press conference, Leslye Headland was queried about potential appearances of Jecki and Yord in upcoming releases. She gave a tantalizing suggestion, implying that their return may not be as straightforward as fans anticipate.

After finishing the gaming season, there are several things I’m eager to bring to life. Vernestra is already established in publications, so I’ll be focusing on that as well.

Headland revealed that the initial intent was to eliminate both Jecki and Yord from the story. However, the actor crafted rich backstories for these characters during script discussions. These detailed backgrounds can now serve as a foundation to explore their origins further, given that we’re already aware of their eventual demise.

It was intriguing to ponder over them extensively, leading me to wonder if there was a possibility to continue exploring these concepts further since we hadn’t delved deeply into them before.

There are other characters besides Jecki and Yord whose backstories could be delved into. It has been announced that fans can anticipate a one-shot comic dedicated to the first live-action Wookiee Jedi, Kelnacca.
