Earlier this year, it was announced that Star Wars The Acolyte would be released on DVD and VOD, and that the cast would be revealed. Now, fans of the series have learned that Benicio Del Toro, Lee Jung-jae, and Jodie Foster are slated to star in the new film. But what does the film have in store for fans?
Jodie Foster
Earlier this month, Disney+ announced that they were developing a new "Star Wars" series, "The Acolyte". The eight-episode series will be based on the book by author David Ebershoff and takes place in the "High Republic", a period in the early history of the galaxy where the Jedi are fighting the Empire and the rebels.
It's not yet clear when the series will be released. However, it's likely to come out in the first half of 2024 on Disney Plus. The cast for the series includes Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, and Dafne Keen.
It will also be the first American series helmed by Lee. He's gained a lot of attention for his work on K-drama over the past two years. He will also play the lead male role in The Acolyte.
The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take you to a galaxy of dark side powers. It will also feature Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Manny Jacinto. It will also be directed by Leslye Headland, who's also the creator and executive producer of the series.
Headland has hired writers from all walks of life, including those with varying levels of knowledge of the "Star Wars" franchise. She's also made it a point to include writers of different races and ethnicities.
Jodie Foster is a well-known actress, director, and producer. She's appeared in many films and television shows, including "Mayberry R.F.D.", "Taxi Driver", and "The Accused". Her most recent film is "Money Monster", which received mixed reviews.
She's also received two honorary awards. She's a member of the National Board of Review and received the Berlinale Camera at the 46th Berlin International Film Festival.
Lee Jung-jae
Earlier this year, Disney confirmed the cast of The Acolyte, one of its upcoming live action Star Wars series. The series will feature Lee Jung-jae in a lead role alongside Amandla Stenberg, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jodie Turner-Smith, Manny Jacinto, and Dafne Keen.
The Acolyte is set in the High Republic era of Star Wars. It's described as a mystery thriller that takes place during the final days of the era. The series is created by Leslye Headland, the creator of Netflix's time-loop series Russian Doll. Headland will also direct the first episode and serve as an executive producer.
Jung-Jae is a South Korean actor who has become a global star thanks to his role on Netflix's Squid Game. The show's success has led to a variety of nominations for the actor. He's also been nominated for an Emmy Award. It's possible that Lee Jung-jae will win an Emmy Award for his role in The Acolyte.
Lee Jung-jae will likely be interacting with newcomers to the Star Wars world in his role. This is likely to help him further his Hollywood career.
The Acolyte will take viewers into the galaxy of shadowy secrets and the dark side of the Force. It will also be a departure from the Skywalker Saga. The series will explore the rise of the Dark Side Force users during the Old Republic era. The series will also focus on Jedi politics.
Lucasfilm has not yet announced a premiere date for The Acolyte, though it's likely it will be released on Disney Plus sometime in 2023. The show will also likely be released on audio dramas and comic books. It's possible that more cast members will be revealed at the D23 Expo next year.

He's also currently the title character in Escobar: Paradise Lost and has appeared in movies like A Perfect Day, 21 Grams, and The Little Prince. He's also been known for his eccentric roles.
