‘The Acolyte' | Star Wars Disney+ series about the rise of the Sith

[Optimus Prime]

Amandla Stenberg is in talks to join the upcoming Disney Plus series “The Acolyte,” the live-action “Star Wars” series that hails from Leslye Headland.

Details on the character Stenberg would play are being kept under tight wraps, but an acolyte in the “Star Wars” universe has typically referred to a Sith who has just begun their training under an experienced Sith Lord. This, of course, was prior to Sith Lord Darth Bane instituting the Rule of Two, under which there are only ever two Sith in existence at a time — one master and one apprentice.

Reps for Stenberg and Lucasfilm did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.

Disney and Lucasfilm previously confirmed that “The Acolyte” will take place in the final days of the High Republic era of the “Star Wars” timeline and will focus on the emergence of secretive dark side powers. For context, the High Republic era is said to have ended about 50 years prior to the events of “The Phantom Menace.”

They are absolutely terrified to move his story along

Is really that hard? Decades of EU collecting dustthis must be an ego thing. "We can do better, lets be different" it fukking wizard samurai with batons, larping with rubber masks in space. It aint that deep.

You can tell with all the backpedaling they're doing that they have no idea how to move forward. The only thing new Stars Wars related thats selling is Mando merch. Sequel trilogy toys aint even on the shelves

Kill Luke Skywalker and ruin your IP brehs




























REYYYYY!!!!

This is still KK’s project as it deals with the high republic. I remember and article touting that its the show that supposedly has an all femalw main cast

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Amandla?



I immediately am suspicious of there being some bs love triangle she'll be involved in and the show will be centered on...her falling in love with her sith lord or some ish.

You can tell Kennedy doesn't know how. Filoni needs to replace her already
