The full cast incl🍌udes Squid Game's Lee Jung-Jae and The Matrix's Carrie-Anne Moss

Production has begun on Disney Plus and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm's new Star Wars series, The Acolyte.
Taking place about 100 years before the prequels, The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powerꦐs in the final days of the High Republic era. When a former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to in🐼vestigate a series of crimes, the forces they confront are more sinister than they could have ever anticipated.
In the Star Wa🧸rs universe, an "acolyte" is an individual who possesseꦚs the ability to use the Force and train under a highly experienced Sith Lord.

The full cast includes Lee Jung-Jae (Squid Game), Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix), Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give﷽, Bodies Bodies Bodies), Jodie Turner-🥃Smith (Anne Boleyn, White Noise), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), Rebecca Henderson (Inventing Anna), Charlie Barnett (Russian Doll), Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials), and Dean-Charles Chapman (1917).
Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland is set to serve as showrunner and executive prodಌucer. Headland pitched a female-centric Star Wars series to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, with the goal to move past the Skywalker era and usher in a new era – specifically one that has never been featured in a Star Wars TV show or film before.
The eight-episode series will be released exclusively on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus.
