The Star Wars series starring Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae arrives on Disney+ with a two-episode premiere June 4.
We’re used to seeing Star Wars characters fight with lightsabers. But the first clip from upcoming Disney+ series The Acolyte shows us some highly skilled, absolutely relentless hand-to-hand combat. Even Master Sol is confused: “You attack me without a weapon,” he says to Mae , his attacker. “Why?” The context isn’t yet clear enough to answer his question, but kudos to the fight choreographer.
Set at the tail end of the High Republic era, around a century before The Phantom Menace, The Acolyte will follow Master Sol as he turns crime-solver, tracking down a former Padawan who has—as you can clearly see in the clip—turned against the Jedi to embrace a new malevolence. The show is created by Leslye Headland and also stars Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Sutotamo, and Carrie-Anne Moss.
