Why Disney Removed This Graphic Scene From 'Star Wars: The Acolyte'

During the 2025 Denver Fan Expo weekend, The Acolyte (2024) star Manny Jacinto shared an exciting piece of information with Star Wars fans regarding a lightsaber duel in the Disney+original series, which was originally more intense than the final scene ultimately shown on screen. The Acolyte is an original TV series set 100 years before Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) at the end of the High Republic era, a time when the Jedi Order thrived and believed that the malevolent Sith were extinct.
