The enigma surrounding The Acolyte only deepens as its premiere draws near. With just a month left, a new trailer for the Star Wars series offers a glimpse into the ominous figure wielding a red-bladed lightsaber, adding intrigue to the Disney+ title.
While the final moments of the trailer hint at a menacing presence, showrunner Leslye Headland remains guarded about this new character. “I’ll just say that they’re my favorite character,” Headland shares with StarWars.com.
Accompanying the final trailer is newly unveiled key art for the series, coinciding with Star Wars Day.
The poster introduces a diverse cast of characters, including the assassin Mae, Master Sol, Master Indara and her Padawan Torbin, the Wookiee Master Kelnacca, Master Vernestra Rwoh, and the Jedi Order at its zenith. “I hope audiences embrace the complexity inherent in each character in the show,” Headland remarks. “The show is an onion. Each episode reveals a new layer. I hope the viewing experience is both suspenseful and fulfilling.”
