'The Acolyte' star Charlie Barnett exclusively reacts to Yord's big moment, and explains the backstory we did not see.

Manny JacintoBut just moments later, the tables turned, and the Stranger snapped Yord’s neck, adding yet another victim onto the season's pile of bodies. It was a stunning display of violence and a shocking end to the Jedi Knight’s life. But it turns out that rehearsals for the death scene were far less traumatizing… and even somewhat soothing. That’s according to Barnett, who spoke toseries. He also broke down a lot of the character’s backstory that helps explain those final moments.

They asked me if I wanted to go watch Dafne’s death, and I was like, “No, are you f---ing kidding me? I love her. I don't want to see her die four times over. It's just visceral and f---ed up and sad. No, I don't need all that. I'm going to save that for sitting on my couch in my own comfort of tissue boxes and tears.”

You have two big fight scenes with Manny. I know you guys work on it solo, then you come together, so tell me about doing that dance with him. I thought I would be quick to pick up pieces, but you have to leverage the fear of hitting or harming someone. There’s that fear of: There's another person on the end of this, and we are doing a piece together that's a tango in which I can't touch them. It's all these weird little very minute protections that you then have to think of in your mind. I don't want to hit the number two on our call sheet because I might literally be fired.
