    With one more month to go before The Acolyte hits Disney Plus, Lucasfilm is headlining 'May the Fourth' affairs with a brand-new trailer for the show. They've also shared a new poster and a peak behind the scenes.

    With the first trailer that was revealed a few weeks ago, Lucasfilm confirmed a few character details, too:


    • Amandla Stenberg plays Mae, who gets swept up into a sinister mystery—one that puts her into the center of a conflict in unexpected ways.
    • Lee Jung-jae plays Master Sol, a wise, highly respected, powerful Jedi Master, strong in the ways of the Force, who is going through emotional conflict.
    • Manny Jacinto plays Qimir, a former smuggler who now makes his living as a trader, procuring unusual things and enjoying a life of leisure.
    • Carrie-Anne Moss plays Master Indara, a Jedi Master of great physical and mental skill.
    • Dean Charles Chapman plays Master Torbin. Character specifics have not been disclosed.
    • Joonas Suotamo plays Jedi Master Kelnacca, a loner who lives a solitary life.
    • Jodie Turner-Smith plays Mother Aniseya, the leader of a coven of Witches who value their independence and the preservation of their beliefs and powers.
    • Charlie Barnett plays Yord Fandar, a Jedi Knight and guardian from the Jedi Temple, is an overachiever and a rule follower. His need to be a by-the-book Jedi can cloud his mind.
    • Dafne Keen plays  Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon, the Padawan apprentice to Master Sol. Although she is young, she projects calm and conducts herself with maturity.
    • Rebecca Henderson plays Vernestra Rwoh, an elder Jedi Master who has ascended the ranks of the Jedi from a teenage prodigy to a leader in the Order.


    Check out more information on the show here.



    The first two episodes of the Leslye Headland show will start streaming on Disney Plus on June 4, at 6pm PT / 9pm ET / June 5 2am BST.

    That masked villain character looks like the original Ren. Maybe he's one of the first Knights of Ren. Would be neat to learn more about this clan in this show.

    That poster???!!

    Doesn't it seem odd that the Mae/Assassin character is on the poster in two opposite positions?

    Looks like we may have our series droid behind Master Sol.

    Most shocking.... Is nobody gonna comment that we seem to have A FRICKING EWOK????

    Wookies and now Ewoks, this series may have it all. Really hyped for a Jedi centric series and next year Andor!

    Ewoks make sense, though. The first ever Nightsister witch in Legend was Chandra (?), introduced in Ewoks: The Battle of Endor. Granted, she was reclassified as a Nightsister, (banished from the tribe IIRC), back in the 90s or so, but still. So there's a connection between Ewoks and night-witchery, and we have what looks like a coven of witches in Acolyte, so perhaps the creature on the poster really is an Ewoks?

    He looks pilot-ish to me and I'm all in for as much weirdness as can be done here. I have been excited for this show since it was announced, seeing Leslye Headland and Co. at Celebration pushed me all in and these two trailers have ratcheted up my hype each time. I cannot wait to see what is done here and I think, I hope... this will be a massive success and garner a bunch of attention.
