Manny Jacinto in 'The Acolyte'
The Big Picture In typical Star Wars fashion, Disney+’s The Acolyte has been keeping a tight lid on the secrets of the Force. But Manny Jacinto offered Total Film a few tidbits about his character in the new series. The Good Place actor expanded on what little information there was about Qimir, a simple smuggler. Jacinto told the outlet that Qimir is a person of humble means and isn’t necessarily itching to get into the fight.
"Even though 'Star Wars' has been pretty black and white in the past in terms of good guys and bad guys, I think with our show we'll get audiences really thinking about whether they resonate with the light side or the dark side.” Jacinto admits that while Qimir is trying to get along in the universe, he still has certain character flaws in the series. This reality lends to The Acolyte’s approach to not being a story about good vs. evil.
Headland has commented in the past that her series will show the shades of grey in its characters and even shine a light on how the Jedi Order was so easily corrupted during the time of The Phantom Menace. Introducing ambiguous characters such as Jacinto’s Qimir is one way to efficiently get this across. Qimir is also one of the rare characters who will not use a lightsaber.
