From our Friends at D23
Star Wars: The Acolyte is about to make the lightspeed jump to Disney+ for its two-episode premiere on June 4, and it’s taking all our Force powers to wait to dive into the series’ mysterious story. Set approximately 100 years before Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, The Acolyte follows the Jedi at the height of their power, facing a sinister unknown threat. While much of the series itself is shrouded in mystery, we do know a little bit about the characters at the center of this intergalactic intrigue:
Mae (Amandla Stenberg)
We don’t know much about Mae, other than she’s central to the conflict and mystery in The Acolyte from the jump. Her tragic past has led her to seek vengeance on those who have wronged her—no matter who stands in her way.
Master Sol (Lee Jung-Jae)
As a highly respected Jedi Master, Master Sol is strong in the ways of the Force—and he keeps his powerful emotions in balance through his Jedi training. However, his control is tested when the struggle central to The Acolyte throws him into internal conflict.
Jedi Master Indara (Carrie-Anne Moss)
With great physical and mental skill, Master Indara has total control over her Force abilities. She is viewed as a commanding presence, never seeking out combat but with enough skill to engage on her own terms.
Yord Fandar (Charlie Barnett)
Dedicated to the rules and his role as a guardian at the Jedi Temple, Yord Fandar is overachieving to a fault, letting his need to be by-the-book cloud his mind.
Jecki Lon (Dafne Keen)
Half human and half theelin, Jecki Lon is a studious Padawan to Master Sol. Despite her young age, Jecki conducts herself with a calm maturity beyond her years.
Vernestra “Vern” Rwoh (Rebecca Henderson)
Book lovers may already know Vernestra Rwoh from the Star Wars: The High Republic books such as A Test of Courage and Out of the Shadows. As one of the youngest Jedi Knights in a generation, joining the order at 15, Vern has ascended the ranks to leader. She is known for her purple-bladed lightsaber that changes into a lightwhip.
