Star Wars: The Acolyte star Amandla Stenberg will bring to life two opposite characters in the Disney+ series.
There is not much information about Star Wars: Acolyte Project at this time. However, a new report reveals some interesting details related to the Disney+ series.
New information about Amandla Stenberg’s role
Although it has been known for some time that Stenberg would have the lead role on the Star Wars show, her character was known to be Padawan. On the other hand, The Acolyte has also been confirmed to feature Lee Jung-ja as a Jedi Master.
Now, Daniel Richman has shared some important details about the series’ plot. The insider confirms that Stenberg will play two characters, specifically the compulsive-emotional twins. In addition, they will be the origins of the Sith, but when one continues in evil ways, the other will fall into the hands of the Jedi.
According to the report, after the sisters were separated, the Sith assassin’s evil twin tried to kill the Jedi Master, played by Carrie Ann Moss. Moss’s character only fights with martial arts without using her lightsaber, so the Dark Twin’s goal is to learn martial arts and kill the Jedi Master and get her own potion.
Richman also said that the show will take place on the planet Dathomir (or similar location), and that Stenberg’s character will live on a ship called Fallon with Pip, a droid similar to a playboy.
The insider added that there could be a war between the Jedi and the wizards. Richman does not stop the report here and shares another important information, saying that actor Manny Jacinto will play two similar characters, one bad and one good. Finally, when the insider was asked if Daphne Keen’s character would be Theelin, he replied that he thought so.
