Exciting news for Star Wars fans as the star of Disney Plus’ newest spin-off The Acolyte confirms 🍬the show will stay true to the original movies, whilst challenging ideas around the force🌠.
In an interview with , Amandla Stenberg spoke about the upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus series and how it links to previous movies in the franchise. “In the context of the Star Wars universe, it’s a time of great peace, theoretically,” said 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Hunger Games star. “It’s also a time o🥃f an institution, a🅷nd it’s a time in which conceptions around the Force are very strict.”

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bodies bodies bodies star touched on this different look into the era: “I think what w🙈e’re trying to explore within our show is when an institution has a singular conception of how power can be used…we try to provide a lot of different perspectives and answers to that question.
