Squid game star Lee Jung-jae is jumping into the Star Wars universe as Lucasfilm has just cast him as the male lead in the upcoming Disney + seriess The Acolyte.
There are no details on who will play Jung-jae, but he will join the previous cast Amanda Steinberg And Jodie Turner-Smith. We don’t even have a clue who they’re playing.
The series was developed by Leslye headland serving as director, writer, executive producer and showrunner. Headland worked closely with Lucasfilm’s executive, including the president Catherine Kennedy in this project making sure they bring in a diverse A-list ensemble cast.
The series is described as “a mysterious thriller that will take viewers to a galaxy of dark secrets and dark side powers emerging in the last days of the High Republic era.” The High Republic is set 200 years before the start of the Skywalker Saga.
So far this era has only been explored in a series of books and comics. It is the golden age of the Jedi, when the Jedi were at their peak and it was believed that the Sith had been eradicated from the galaxy. The term “acolyte” refers to individuals with Force abilities who learn from a more experienced Sith Lord.
It was also previously explained that the show “specifically explores the rise of the Dark Side in those last days of the High Republic era.” The series is also rumored to explore some of the Sith’s main characters Star Wars Legendswhich I hope turns out to be true.
