Jodie Turner-Smith and Rebecca Henderson discuss making The Acolyte.
The Big Picture We’ve seen witches in Star Wars before, like the Nightsisters, for example, who just made their live-action debut in Ahsoka. The Acolyte, however, is about to add a new coven to Star Wars canon, one led by Jodie Turner-Smith’s Aniseya.
While much is to be discovered about the policies of the Jedi Order toward the end of the High Republic Era and the goals of Aniseya’s coven in The Acolyte’s eight-episode run, both Henderson and Turner-Smith were able to tease a few details regarding their character’s roles in the assessment of what it means to hold power in the galaxy. Check out what they told me in the video at the top of this article, or you can read the conversation in transcript form below.
TURNER-SMITH: But I'm an actor, so everything is a paralyzing fear. Do you know what I mean? It's like we are paralyzed with fear. But people don't understand that. We spend most of our lives paralyzed with fear. TURNER-SMITH: Feels like a trick. Feels like a trick. I'm not gonna do that, but I'll just say yes. I'm not going to expound, but I will say yes.
HENDERSON: Oh my god. The first thing that I thought when you said that is that Mirialans believe that they have a destiny that they will fulfill, that they should fulfill, and that is supported by their community, the planet where they come from.
TURNER-SMITH: The further that you get into the show, as well, you will find out a little bit more about what that means. But that question is not going to be answered in this season. I think you'll have to keep coming back to kind of dig in.How Will Vernestra Keep the Jedi's Power in Check? Close I’ll end on a big one for you, Rebecca.
