HMDYK About The Acolyte Cast

The Acolyte

On Day 1 of the Star Wars Celebration the cast of The Acolyte seem to receive the most attention. There were nine cast members across four interviews. All of these interviews can be seen on the Star Wars YouTube channel. Most of these folks are fairly unknown; a couple of these names might stand out. How much do you know about The Acolyte cast?

Carrie-Anne Moss is listed on the IMDB page but she was not interviewed. If you don’t recognize her name, you will recognize her face as Trinity from The Matrix movies.

I’ll try my best to keep this post from getting too verbose. I’ll try to follow a format similar to the voice dubbing post I did a couple of years ago. We do not know most of the names of any of these characters from The Acolyte.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 23

The Armorer Chapter 23

Title: The Spies
Director: Rick Famuyima
Runtime: 52 minutes

This is the penultimate episode of Season 3. The folks that attended the Star Wars Celebration got to watch it early and, surprisingly, nobody posted any spoilers. Granted I didn’t go looking for spoilers because I would never do that. This is an amazing episode! One of the best of the season! Let’s talk about The Mandalorian Chapter 23.

Now that the clans are reunited, it’s time to return to Mandalore and reclaim their home planet. However, danger awaits them, and it’s more than the beasts that survived the Imperial bombings.

Star Wars Celebration 2023 Highlights

Now that it’s a wrap, here are some Star Wars Celebration 2023 highlights. These highlights will be more than just about the announcements and sneak peeks. There are a few moments from panels and interviews that I really want to call out.

If you were following along on the Star Wars YouTube Live stream then you have probably seen all of these.

Star Wars Celebration Announcements

The Star Wars Celebration in London kicked off today and here are a few of the announcements and details about upcoming series and movies. I wish I were there but England is an expensive trip to make. All of these details came from the Live broadcast on the Star Wars YouTube channel.

Before I get into all the Star Wars details, let’s quickly cover the non-Star Wars IP that was discussed. Of course, I’m referring to the next Indiana Jones movie and the unveiling of the newest trailer. During an interview with director James Mangold he tells us that John Williams, at 91 years old, did compose the entire score. The man is a legend.

Ahsoka Teaser Trailer

The Star Wars Celebration begins today, in London, and, as I predicted, we got our first Ahsoka teaser trailer. It is also available to watch on Disney+, or you check it out below!

We see a lot of familiar faces and places (if you’ve watched Rebels). Live-action Lothal and Huyang (whom I hope is still voiced by David Tennant is confirmed to reprise the voice) all look fantastic!! There are a few new faces too. I don’t recognize the blond Sith chick; the name Baylan sounds familiar but he is also a mystery.

Did anyone else get chills when Ahsoka called Thrawn the “heir to the Empire“???! The story for this series emerges from Star Wars Rebels. My advice is to go watch it before August otherwise you might be a bit confused.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 22

bo-katan chapter 22

Title: Guns for Hire
Director: Bryce Dallas Howard
Runtime: 45 minutes

I can’t believe we only have two more weeks of The Mandalorian and then a Star Wars break until Ahsoka comes out (assuming that is the next series). This episode takes a slight left turn from the normal formula, although the end has massive implications. Chapter 22 is also full of celebrity cameos, new and returning.

Din and Bo Katan are out to try to reunite all of Mandalore, per the Armorer’s request. Their mission takes them to a rather pretentious planet where the “organics” do nothing and the droids do all the work. L3 would not approve!

This is another fun episode, that I really enjoyed. It wasn’t just the cameos but that ending too!
