The Stranger's Big Reveal in ‘The Acolyte’ Was Inspired by This Iconic Star Wars Scene

The Big Picture One of Star Wars' most exciting new characters just got his most in-depth look yet. The official Star Wars X account released a new behind-the-scenes featurette from The Acolyte highlighting Manny Jacinto's Stranger, the Sith Lord who unleashes chaos on the Jedi in Episode 5.

And go to work he did. Jacinto's Qimir, otherwise known as The Stranger, killed several Jedi in The Acolyte Episode 5, including but not limited to Jecki Lon and Yord Fandar — no, the Yord Horde still hasn't recovered. Assistant Stunt Coordinator and Stunt Double Lu Junchang continued by saying that they tried to give The Stranger a unique fighting style to make him stand out through more unorthodox moves while operating at a faster, crisper speed.

What Is Cortosis in ‘The Acolyte’? The Stranger can be seen in The Acolyte Episode 5 disarming lightsabers through a device on his arm known as Cortosis. The Stranger can use this Cortosis band on his arm to turn off lightsabers briefly, disarming Jedi and giving him the upper hand in combat.
