There is a lot of Jedi In Star Wars: The Acolyte.
Highlights shared during the event were the series’ focus on the “lots of Jedi” aspect of the High Republic era, which to Headland as a creator is particularly appealing. Footage from the shared series shows stunning wuxia-style martial arts combat that reminds viewers of films like ‘Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon’.
A mind-blowing shot features a group of seven Jedi led by Le Jung-Jae, our main character. The scene shows them igniting their lightsaber simultaneously, which is a mesmerizing shot.
Headland, from a young age, has been a Star Wars fan who used to write fan-fictions; she always dreamed of having Wookiee Jedi master. Headland fulfilled her childhood dream by introducing a Wookiee Jedi master named Kelnaka, played by Joonas Suotamo, the current actor behind Chewbacca. She even came to the stage with the character’s costume.
