In a recent interview with Star Wars Explained, Headland teases that The Acolyte episode 8 has an Easter egg that was quite the “challenge” to include. Check out her comment below:

“My main thing that I really wanted to do in the show I got to do in episode 8. And that was the one that I think proved to be the biggest challenge in conversation, and I was very glad I got to do them.”
