The first trailer for the highly anticipated Star Wars Disney+ series The Acolyte is finally here, and there’s plenty to chew on.
Star Wars fans have been waiting a long while to see something from The Acolyte, and it’s finally here. While the trailer definitely has that modern Star Wars air, it might feel a bit more familiar to those that grew up with the prequels, as it’s set 100 years before The Phantom Menace during the High Republic era, which hasn’t been seen on screen just yet. The trailer opens with some usual Jedi kind of “open your minds eye nonsense” delivered by newcomer to the franchise Lee Jung-jae, who you’ll all best know as Seong Gi-hun in Squid Game. He’s joined by a pretty strong cast, with Amandla Stenberg (The Hunger Games, Across the Spider-Verse) as Mae, a mysterious former Padawan.
There’s also Manny Jacinto (The Good Place) as Qimir, a former smuggler, Charlie Barnett (Russian Doll) as Yord, a Jedi Knight, Dafne Keen (Logan) as Jecki, a Padawan, Jodie Turner Smith (The Witcher: Blood Origin), and The Matrix’s very own Carrie-Anne Moss as Indara, a Jedi Master. Rebecca Henderson also plays Vernestra Rwoh, a fan favourite who’s appeared in the Star Wars comics.
