Stormtrooper shmormtrooper. Who cares about the Empire’s legion of white-armored soldiers that don’t know how to shoot straight when you’ve got this opportunity to see what a bona fide hero of the Rebel Alliance looks like?

Purportedly leaked concept art of Han Solo, shared once again by Stormtrooper leaker Indie Revolver, gives Star Wars fans a glimpse of what Harrison Ford’s aging general (or perhaps ex-general?) is looking like during the events of Star Wars: Episode VII, director J.J.

The Acolyte is over, but I still have some questions about the divisive Star Wars series
A group of Jedi stand ready to fight in The Acolyte.

With the first season out of the way, The Acolyte has plenty of juicy threads to pick up on in a possible second season.

But there are a few more questions pertinent to this season that I felt were left dangling. Whether purposefully left ambiguous or not, these are the five questions still rattling around in my head over a week out from watching episode 8 of The Acolyte -- some of which I wish had been explored in more depth.
