Star Wars: The Acolyte is nearly here and Lucasfilm has helped with the wait by sharing five character posters and new details for Jedi Master Sol, Jedi Master Indara, Padawan Jecki Lon, Mae, and Wookiee Jedi Master Kelnacca.
You can check out all the posters from StarWars.com in the slideshow below or further down in the article, and when you do you will learn more about these new High Republic-era characters that we will all be introduced to on June 4 for The Acolyte's two-episode premiere on Disney+.
Jedi Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae)
Master Sol is a wise, highly respected Jedi Master, strong in the ways of the Force. Still and stalwart, Sol has a deep sense of compassion and will defend those who cannot defend themselves. He is a powerful warrior with intense emotions that he uses his Jedi training to balance.
Jedi Master Indara (Carrie-Anne Moss)
Master Indara is a Jedi Master of great physical and mental skill. She has exacting control of her Force abilities, exuding a sense of command and authority with just her presence. Though she does not seek combat, she is skilled enough to engage on her own terms.
Mae (Amandla Stenberg)
A mysterious young woman with a tragic past, Mae gets swept up into a sinister mystery - one that puts her into the center of a conflict in unexpected ways. She is determined to exact vengeance on those who wronged her, and little can stop Mae on her quest.
Wookiee Jedi Master Kelnacca (Joonas Suotamo)
A Wookiee Jedi Master, Kelnacca has sequestered himself in the tangled jungles of Khofar. He is a loner who lives a solitary life.
Jecki Lon (Dafne Keen)
A skilled and studious Padawan learner, Jecki Lon shows great promise in her path to becoming a Jedi Knight. The Padawan Apprentice to Master Sol is young, but she projects calm and conducts herself with maturity.
As previously mentioned, Star Wars: The Acolyte is set during the High Republic-era, which takes place roughly 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace. According to StarWars.com, The Acolyte "follows an investigation into a shocking crime spree that pits a respected Jedi Master against a dangerous warrior from his past."
