Disney+ debuted the first trailer and key art for another Lucasfilm spin-off, Star Wars: The Acolyte. In the new trailer, Carrie-Ann Moss (THE MATRIX) plays a prominent role in the preview which also stars Manny Jacinto, Jodie Turner-Smith, Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett and Joonas Suotamo returns to don a different Wookie suit.
Padawans in training and Jedis on the run can only mean the timeline of The Acolyte takes place around the events of PHANTOM MENACE. The first preview also reveals the villain played by Amandla Stenberg. Carrie-Ann Moss is back to her bass ways as a Jedi although we don't see her with a lightsaber or could she be the villain? It's not clear.
The first two episodes will premiere June 4 on Disney+.
