‘The Acolyte’ Artist Reveals More Darth Plagueis Concept Art

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for Star Wars and an appreciation for the intricate world-building that goes into every project, I can’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment upon seeing the stunning concept art for Darth Plagueis from The Acolyte. The tease of this enigmatic character in the series left us all craving more, and his brief appearance was just enough to whet our appetites for a deeper exploration of his complex and mysterious character.


It’s been some time since our last discussion on “The Acolyte”, however, this intriguing subject will take center stage in our upcoming report. Rest assured, we won’t delve into the debate about whether or not the show should return, but rather explore an engaging artifact that highlights one of the aspects that critics and fans alike can agree the series handled exceptionally well.

Who or what are you referring to? That would be Darth Plagueis, the legendary Sith Lord who first appeared in “The Acolyte.” Although his brief appearance hinted at a possible second season, it appears that we must wait for another production to witness this character again.

Simultaneously, an artist who contributed to the show’s design has unveiled some preliminary sketches of Plagueis, artwork that was eventually incorporated into the series. It appears that one of these pieces may have been intended for the second season, and it’s truly unfortunate that this concept art will not be brought to fruition.

Skilled illustrator Saby Menyhei has contributed to notable productions like “The Last of Us”, “Tenet”, “Ant-Man”, “Rogue One”, and more recently, “The Acolyte”. Notably, he’s previously worked on “Darth Plagueis” concept art, and the artist just unveiled some extra sketches for the series.

Artwork I developed for Star Wars: Acolyte, featuring Darth Plagueis – a piece from the past. The art department’s creations were nothing short of breathtaking, and it has been a tremendous privilege to contribute to this talented team. 🙌✨ #StarWarsAcolyte #ConceptArtCreation #ArtDepartment #SciFiMasterpiece #StarWarsUniverse

As a devoted Star Wars fan, I can’t help but appreciate the stunning concept art that graced our screens, regardless of personal feelings towards the show. The buzz around Plagueis’ brief appearance has been electrifying, and it’s clear that this design resonated deeply with the community. It’s a real pity that we won’t get to see more of Plagueis, as there’s no announced Star Wars project on the horizon that could potentially include him. This is definitely a missed opportunity for us fans.

As a fellow admirer, I couldn’t help but notice the buzz among us when we laid our eyes on this art. The general consensus is that it’s simply outstanding – a masterpiece, if you will. Here are some of the thoughts that resonated with me: [Insert comments]

Man, these games are awesome! I can’t wait to see where they take the characters next. By any chance, do you have any info on whether an artbook is still in the works?

Could his attire be reminiscent of the Crimson Dawn, similar to an outlaw’s garb? I can’t help but wonder if perhaps a touch of inspiration was drawn from that source?

Could you share the guidelines provided for crafting this concept art, @menyhei? With limited pre-existing visual references for this character, it’s truly astounding to witness such a grand vision come to life!

This design is quite appealing. It’s unfortunate, though, that it wasn’t utilized to honor Hego Damask more appropriately, given his status as an influential figure in high society and wealth. Instead of representing him as a hidden figure among the elite banking class on some isolated island, why not celebrate his true essence? 😂

Too bad he couldn’t contribute more to the project; it might have led to a second season. Kudos on your exceptional effort! 👏
