VOX YOUTUBE PLAGARISM SERIES
The series was first announced in 2020, before the High Republic had even been debuted within Star Wars canon.


Star Wars: The Acolyte stars Amandla Stenberg, Dafne Keen ( Logan), Lee Jung-jae ( Squid Game), and Manny Jacinto ( The Good Place). The Acolyte will wrap shooting in London in May ahead of its 2024 release on Disney Plus. The Wookiee is called Kelnaka and is played by current Chewbacca actor Joonas Suotamo. Headland - a fan since youth, who used to write Star Wars fan fiction - said it had always been her dream to have a Wookiee Jedi master, and she was walked out on stage by the character in costume. “What became apparent was that we were going to have to set this between the High Republic and the prequels - because this is when the bad guys were outnumbered.” It’s the furthest back in the Star Wars timeline that we’ve ever been in live action, Headland confirmed. So what I pitched to Kathleen was Frozen meets Kill Bill,” Headland said. “I really wanted to delve into the Star Wars universe and tell the story of this world I love so much from the perspective of the bad guys. Headland said that, in designing the show, she had gone back to George Lucas’ original inspirations for Star Wars, including Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress and Yojimbo, but also classic Shaw Brothers kung fu movies like Come Drink With Me and Touch of Zen. One crowd-pleasing shot had seven Jedi, led by Lee Jung-jae’s character, unsheathing their lightsabers in unison. The footage also emphasized The Acolyte’s wuxia-style martial arts combat, reminiscent of films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This first look also revealed that The Acolyte is set for release in 2024 and will stream on Disney Plus.Ĭreator Leslye Headland ( Russian Doll) and the series cast introduced some footage from the show for the convention audience which foregrounded the “lots of Jedi” that Headland said was one of the most attractive features of the High Republic era for her as a creator. Thankfully, the first look at Star Wars: The Acolyte, a crime series set toward the end of the Republic’s brightest days, during Star Wars Celebration 2023 is here to fix that.
