Quick Links Star Wars has expanded far past the original movies with a massive library of movies and shows already released or currently in production, ranging from political thrillers to action shows, and even shows for kids. While Andor has been one of the most "adult" and mature iterations of Star Wars so far, The Acolyte is sure to try and take that title away.
Where Will 'The Acolyte' Stream? The Acolyte will also be released on Disney+ as with all of Star Wars. Thankfully for the international Star Wars fanbase, Disney+ has consistently expanded its serviceable locations, so now over 140 countries have access to their favorite Star Wars content through the streaming service and its partners.
"He's a citizen, he’s a guy within this galaxy who gets pulled into this larger mission within the High Republic and the Jedi. So, whether he likes it or not, he’s kinda in this world." Rounding out the cast, we have Rebecca Henderson , who will be playing the fan-favorite character Vernestra Rwoh, Charlie Barnett as the Jedi Yord Fandar, and Joonas Suotamo as the Wookie Jedi master Kelnacca. Margarita Levieva and Dean-Charles Chapman have also been cast in undisclosed roles. Kelnacca is a Wookiee Jedi. He brings his own his own energy and he is taught in the ways of the Force, which has been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid.
Who Is Making 'The Acolyte'? The Acolyte was created by Leslye Headland, who is best known for co-creating Netflix's Russian Doll. Headland is attached to the project as a writer, director, and showrunner, as well as one of the executive producers, alongside Jason Micallef, Simon Emanuel, Kathleen Kennedy, and Jeff King, with Damian Anderson and Rayne Roberts also credited as producers. Chris Teague and James Friend are the cinematographers.
