Lucasfilm proudly announces actor Amanda Stenberg as the lead character for Star Wars: The Acolyte.
The upcoming Star Wars project will be a Disney+ series set a full century prior to the events of The Phantom Menace.
The series promises to depict the galaxy at the peak of the era of the High Republic, when the Jedi were at their strongest and the Sith were believed to have been eradicated from the galaxy.
