Lucasfilm added the actor Manny Jacinto (The good place) to the cast of the next Star Wars series The Acolyte. He joins the previously announced cast of Amanda Stenberg, Jodie Turner-SmithAnd Lee Jung-jae. According to the Stenberg report, Jacinto and Lee will be the three main characters in the series.
The series was developed by Leslye headland serving as director, writer, executive producer and showrunner. It was explained that Headland worked closely with the president of Lucasfilm 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.
The era of the High Republic has been explored in a series of books and comics. This era is the golden age of the Jedi, when the Jedi were strongest 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 Legends.
Whatever this series is going to end up being, I just hope it went well and goes great Star Wars history.
