The Big Picture As described in the show’s official synopsis, the new Star Wars series, The Acolyte, stars Amandla Stenberg as Mae, a young woman with a tragic past who gets caught up in a dangerous mystery. On her tail is Lee Jung-jae’s Jedi Master Sol, a strong and respected warrior with a vital connection to Mae. “As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems.
We’ll start to peel back the layers of all three characters when The Acolyte premieres on Disney+ on June 4, but in the meantime, Barnett, Keen, and Jacinto all offered teases of the paths their characters could be heading down during our interview in celebration of the show’s big debut. You can hear it all straight from the trio in the video at the top of this article, or you can read the conversation in transcript form below.
BARNETT: Which is honestly, in the end, better for understanding and not trying to be best friends. We’re not trying to take everybody in but knowing where you have your protections and your boundaries. KEEN: That's a really good question. We did have a lot of conversations about that. I like to know the whole backstory to my character and Leslye sort of gave me a lot of freedom in. I'd talk to her, but I'd come with all the ideas and she'd be like, ‘Yeah, that's good,’ or, ‘That doesn't work.’ But we spoke about it a lot, and I do think that does really influence you.
Manny, I don’t trust Qimir. When you are playing a character who is mysterious and has to spark that doubt in viewers, do you have to come up with an anchor of sorts, something to play that game, but still make sure he has some consistency to him? KEEN: We're both very competitive people, so we were like, ‘I need to achieve it.’ That was really difficult. Also, for me personally, I'm a short person and when we got on set — this is really embarrassing — the lightsaber kept hitting the ground whenever I’d twirl it so they had to give me a short-person version of it because it really did not look cool. I’d twirl it, and it’d be like bonk.
