Exclusive: TheAcolyte cast members Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Jodie Turner-Smith, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Charlie Barnett reveal why the new StarWars stands apart, from crazy fight scenes to a deeper understanding of the dark side:
Star Wars has built out an impressive galaxy of stories across film and television, but the focus has been on the Star Wars saga until now with The Acolyte. The new series will set itself apart from other Star Wars projects. It begins with the era in which it is set, the end of The High Republic. Introduced in books and comics, The High Republic was a time of prosperity for the galaxy, with the Jedi acting as the peacekeepers they have always been described as.
Headland describes The Acolyte as Kill Bill meets Frozen and has discussed the influence of Wuxia action films. This martial arts fighting style will bring a new, more raw, more brutal style of action. It may also show different Jedi and Dark Side fighting styles with the Jedi at the height of their power during the High Republic. I think variety. First of all, I'm a fan too, so I've been listening to what the fans have been calling for throughout all the platforms.
The variety of alien species is one of the most interesting aspects of Star Wars, with different cultures explored and merging as they become a part of the Jedi order or travel to different planets. This worldbuilding brings the galaxy to life in a way that feels authentic and true. We don't ever really see these more matriarchal energies.
