Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Amandla Stenberg, the star of The Acolyte, confirmed that the show acts as a prelude to the prequel trilogy, and that it'll take its own modern spin on Star Wars. Stenberg will play the mysterious Mae in The Acolyte, a character who has been "swept up into a sinister mystery.
In an interview with Games Radar, Stenberg said that The Acolyte will incorporate elements of the prequels while introducing a more modern take on its story. "We are the prequel to the prequels. And the prequels have this kind of prestige to them, this monarchical vibe. So one of my main questions going in was: are we going to maintain that sensibility? And yes, in many ways we do, while also incorporating elements that feel really contemporary and relatable. When I watched I was really struck by how universal the story was."
Stenberg's comments seem to indicate that The Acolyte will be a unique blend of both old and new, which is very exciting. One of the best parts of Star Wars is how it adapts to the passage of time, and it seems The Acolyte will continue that trend. Bringing in new, modern perspectives to the story should help the show feel fresh, and its place in the larger Star Wars timeline should help connect it to already established stories like the prequel trilogy.
