TO DISNEYLAND PARK’S STAR WARS: GALAXY’S EDGE
IN CELEBRATION OF “THE ACOLYTE”
Lucasfilm’s Original Star Wars Series Premieres June 4 with First Two Episodes
Last night, Amandla Stenberg, who stars in Lucasfilm’s new, live-action Star Wars series “The Acolyte,” made an appearance at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during Season of the Force in Disneyland Park, Anaheim, Calif., to the delight of fans and visitors. Disney+ shared photos from the visit and an exciting new clip, featuring stars Stenberg and Emmy®-winning Lee Jung-jae.
The thrilling, suspenseful live-action series launches on Tuesday, June 4, with the first two episodes, exclusively on Disney+.
In “The Acolyte,” an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems….
The series stars Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, and Carrie-Anne Moss.
Leslye Headland created the series, based on Star Wars by George Lucas, and serves as an executive producer along with Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King and Jason Micallef. Charmaine DeGraté and Kor Adana are the co-executive producers. Rayne Roberts, Damian Anderson, Eileen Shim and Rob Bredow are the producers.
Headland also directed the premiere episodes (Eps. 101 & 102). Directors Kogonada (Eps. 103 & 107), Alex Garcia Lopez (Eps. 104 & 105) and Hanelle Culpepper (Eps. 106 & 108) round out the directing duties on the series. Award-winning composer Michael Abels, known for his work on “Get Out” and “Us,” scored “The Acolyte.”
Season of the Force at Disneyland Resort ends soon on June 2, 2024.

I'm a big movie buff that also loves NFL football. Interviewing talent associated with films is one of my favorite things to do as there is nothing more special then diving into a project with the people who made them happen.
