New clip from The Acolyte shows a tense fight between Jedi Master and former Padawan
We are now only days from the premiere of Disney+'s upcoming series, Star Wars: The Acolyte. Can you feel the excitement yet?! If not, this will surely get it going for you.
IGN just dropped the hottest galactic gossip on this side of Coruscant. They've released the first clip from the highly anticipated show, and let me tell you, it's more thrilling than a podracing final on Tatooine.
In this sneak peek, we've got Jedi Master Sol, played by the ever-charismatic Lee Jung-jae, going lightsaber-to-lightsaber with his former protégé, Mae, portrayed by the fierce Amandla Stenberg. This isn't just your average Jedi sparring session, though. It's a high-stakes, edge-of-your-seat battle with a backdrop of mysterious Jedi murders. Talk about drama!
The setting? We're thrown back a whole century before the Phantom Menace during the High Republic era - back when the Jedi were basically the cool kids on the galactic block. And here’s the kicker: the series aims to flip the script, showing us the story from what’s usually seen as the villain's perspective. Finally. As a huge villain-lover myself, especially when it comes to the Star Wars world, I cannot wait to see where this series will take up. Imagine Frozen meets Kill Bill but with lightsabers and space politics. Mind-blowing, right? But the creators aren’t just giving us another black-and-white tale of good versus evil. They're diving deep into the murky waters of power dynamics within the Jedi ranks. It's all about who gets to wield the power and how that shakes up the galaxy. And judging by the clip, things are about to get as tangled as Anakin’s feelings about sand.
So, mark your calendars for June 4th, folks, because that's when The Acolyte hits Disney+. It’s shaping up to be the kind of show that not only entertains but also makes you ponder the big questions, like whether having a high midi-chlorian count is enough to make you a good leader.
Can’t wait to see how this all unfolds!
