DisneyPlus & Lucasfilm's StarWars: TheAcolyte star MannyJacinto discusses his character, working with LeslyeHeadland, and if he gets any lightsaber action.
\nDisney+, Lucasfilm & series creator Leslye Headland's Star Wars: The Acolyte had a pretty impressive rollout during this year's Star Wars Celebration 2023. And now, series star Manny Jacinto is sharing some additional insights into his mysterious character as well as why someone with Headland's expertise was needed to tell this very different tale from the 'Star Wars' universe.
And with the series taking place during a very different era for the franchise, Jacinto sang the praises of 'true fan' Headland's ability to keep everything in order & in canon. 'She is almost like an encyclopedia Star Wars — like, she cosplays, does the RPGs. She's done a Ph.D. in Star Wars. So, when you watch the show, you'll notice little Easter eggs, nods to The High Republic, even nods to the original trilogy,' Jacinto added.
