So far, the biggest mystery surrounding Star Wars: The Acolyte is why a former Padawan learner has become so hell-bent on getting revenge on the Jedi that she’s trying to murder them one-by-one. A younger version of Mae (Amandla Stenberg) was briefly glimpsed as a child in the first trailer for The Acolyte, but the newly released video shows more of her rampage. That’s why Mae’s former mentor, Jedi Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae), resolves to confront her alone.
Since Mae is wielding knives instead of a red lightsaber, it suggests that she isn’t affiliated with the Sith… at least not yet. In one of the most intriguing scenes from the new trailer, a masked member of the Sith confronts several Jedi. However, there aren’t any additional clues as to who this Sith is, and if they are a master or an apprentice.
Carrie-Anne Moss leads the rest of the cast as Jedi Master Indara, with Manny Jacinto as Qimir, Dafne Keen as Jecki Lon, Charlie Barnett as Yord Fandar, Jodie Turner-Smith as Mother Aniseya, Rebecca Henderson as Vernestra Rwoh, Joonas Suotamo as Kelnacca, and Abigail Thorn as Ensign Eurus.
Star Wars: The Acolyte will get a two-episode premiere on Disney+ on June 4. The remaining episodes of the season will be released weekly.
