The Acolyte: A New Star Wars Saga Begins
The Acolyte, starring Lee Jung-Jae of Squid Game fame as Jedi Master Sol, delves into the enigmatic killings of several Jedi. Central to the plot is Sol's former Padawan, Mae, portrayed by Amandla Stenberg from Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, who is seen hunting and confronting various Jedi, including Carrie-Anne Moss of The Matrix series as Jedi Master Indara.
The eight-part series, directed by Leslye Headland, known for Russian Doll, is set to debut on June 4 with a double episode premiere, followed by weekly releases.
A Glimpse of Young Padawans
The Acolyte trailer commences with familiar scenes showcasing a class of young Padawans engrossed in their lessons under the guidance of Jedi Master Sol. Sol's cryptic instruction to the class, “Close your eyes. Your eyes can deceive you.” sets the tone for the central mystery surrounding his former Padawans.
First Look at Jedi Master Sol
As the students focus and connect with the Force, Sol queries about their visions. The responses vary from “Life” to “Balance” and ominously, “Fire.” The trailer subtly hints at an impending catastrophe.
Introducing Mae, The Jedi Hunter
The Acolyte trailer also presents its rogue character: a mysterious robed figure seemingly on the hunt for Jedi. This figure is revealed to be Mae, Sol's ex-Padawan, who is possibly behind the Jedi killings, marking the end of the High Republic's peace era.
Carrie-Anne Moss as Jedi Master Indara
Carrie-Anne Moss' character, Indara, is introduced as she confronts Mae, hinting at a thrilling showdown between the two.
A Closer Look at Mae
Interestingly, Mae doesn't fit the typical Jedi or Sith mold. Despite her past, she is never seen using the Force or wielding a red lightsaber. Instead, she seems to favor a more traditional approach to her deadly missions, clad in what appears to be chainmail armor and armed with a blade.
A Gathering of Jedi
The Acolyte provides a rare glimpse of a large congregation of Jedi, a sight not commonly seen in recent Star Wars media. The series offers a nostalgic throwback to an era before the Jedi became scarce.
A Wookiee Jedi Emerges
The trailer also introduces a Wookiee Jedi Master named Kelnacca, a first in the series, adding another layer of intrigue to the upcoming saga.
