Amandla Stenberg and Leslye Headland discuss making The Acolyte.
The Big Picture Leslye Headland and Amandla Stenberg face two significant creative challenges in Star Wars: The Acolyte. For Headland, it’s joining a beloved franchise she’s been a diehard fan of, and doing the opportunity justice. For Stenberg, it’s playing two different characters and establishing their sisterly connection, but while also emphasizing that they’re two completely different people.
Headland Took a Cue from ‘Knights of the Old Republic II’ PERRI NEMIROFF: Leslye, I know you're a big Star Wars fan.

STENBERG: And I wasn't planning on writing 60 pages, and then I was just like, ‘But it's two people. This is the only way that I can get into it.’ I love that the show leans into that — plus a million other things that I wish we had time to talk about.
