Entertainment Weekly has released two new photos from the upcoming Star Wars show The Acolyte.
Both images feature Logan actress Dafne Keen as Jecki Lon, a character new to the Star Wars universe.
Jecki Lon is a half-human, half-Theelin, Jedi Padawan to Jedi Master Sol (Lee Jung-Jae).
Well, I’m very excited that we know her name now, because it was secret for so long. And I’m very happy that I get to say that she’s an alien and that she’s a Padawan and that she’s a Jedi. She’s a mixed species — part Theelin, part human. She’s very cool and I have some very cool fights I do with the lightsaber. I really love her. She’s a great character and was really fun to play. I’m very excited that the trailer came out. I was buzzing for days.
Dafne Keen
The character will be one of the ensemble that make up the cast of The Acolyte, a new Star Wars story setting in the dying days of the High Republics, an era making its debut in live action.
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 (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems….
Official synopsis
The Acolyte begins on 4th June with a two episode premiere on Disney+.
