Exciting revelations have surfaced regarding Disney and Lucasfilm’s latest Star Wars saga, “The Acolyte,” and they might have tipped their hand a bit too much in a recent TV spot. If you’re following the buzz on Reddit, user Representative_Big26 spotted a tantalizing closed caption detail that describes Amandla Stenberg’s character, Osha, shouting, “I didn’t do it.” This was quite the curveball as previous promotions had everyone believing Stenberg’s character was named Mae, an ominous Dark Side hunter taking down Jedi.
A closer look at this TV spot suggests that Stenberg’s character could be impersonating Osha, effectively making Osha the former protégé of Jedi Master Sol, played by Lee Jung-jae. This fresh twist aligns with rumors from Daniel RPK, claiming that Stenberg portrays twin sisters: one aligned with the Light Side and the other with the Dark. The plot thickens as these twins navigate their dual natures amidst the galaxy’s ceaseless intrigue.
ComicBookMovie.com elaborated, suggesting that the primary focus will be on the sister trained as a Sith assassin, tasked with taking out Carrie Anne Moss’ Jedi Master character using martial arts rather than a lightsaber. Casting Manny Jacinto adds an extra layer of complexity, allegedly playing twin versions of his own character, each with contrasting moral compasses.
Adding to the anticipation, Showrunner Leslye Headland described at Star Wars Celebration how “The Acolyte” delves into an era of galaxy-wide peace, challenging the classic Star Wars narrative by exploring from the villains’ perspectives. Insightful character representations and flipping traditional Star Wars tropes promise a series rich with moral ambiguity and unique action sequences.
Actress Jodie Turner-Smith highlighted the series’ inclusive showcasing, which embraces diverse depictions of fans and characters alike, a shift that resonated deeply with the cast. Charlie Barnett echoed this sentiment, celebrating the inclusive reflection of the Jedi far beyond his initial expectations.
