“Kelnacca being a Jedi, that sets certain expectations to how you carry yourself in the line of duty,” explains Suotamo, promising a less impulsive fuzzball. “There are certain assumptions that can be made as to whether he lets his emotions take control of him to the extent that Chewbacca would, for example. It was very interesting to bake that into the character and try to personify that on screen.”

The Acolyte is only a few short months away and Empire Magazine continue their very welcome GFFA deluge with Joonas Suotamo discussing his role in the show as Kelnacca, the distinctive wookiee Jedi who looks set to play a key role in the show. Having played Chewbacca in four of the five most recent big screen adventures as well as playing the Scourge in Willow on Disney Plus, Suotamo playing a Jedi and a wookiee was a long-held dream come true. “Ever since [I was] five years old, I've been fantasising about being a Jedi, like every kid,” Suotamo tells Empire. “When the word ‘Jedi’ was first mentioned [in talks for The Acolyte], I felt really excited – like a little kid who finally gets his favourite toy on his birthday.” Shaping an all-new kind of Wookiee meant going back to what Suotamo learned while playing Chewbacca. “Peter told me right from the get-go that Chewbacca is a mime character,” Suotamo recalls. “The audience doesn't understand what he's saying exactly, but they [interpret] his mannerisms, and every little twitch, and every little movement, and roar.” From there, it was a case of using those principles to make his Acolyte character something new and different. “Kelnacca being a Jedi, that sets certain expectations to how you carry yourself in the line of duty,” explains Suotamo, promising a less impulsive fuzzball. “There are certain assumptions that can be made as to whether he lets his emotions take control of him to the extent that Chewbacca would, for example. It was very interesting to bake that into the character and try to personify that on screen.” The latest issue of Empire hit shelves today, and it's packed with the latest news and interviews from The Acolyte.

THE ACOLYTE TRAILER JUST DROPPED

Characters:

MAE

“Mae gets swept up into a sinister mystery—one that puts her into the center of a conflict in unexpected ways.”

SOL

“Master Sol is a wise, highly respected, powerful Jedi Master, strong in the ways of the Force, who is going through emotional conflict.”

QIMIR

“Qimir is a former smuggler who now makes his living as a trader, procuring unusual things and enjoying a life of leisure.”

JECKI

“Jecki is the Padawan apprentice to Master Sol. Although she is young, she projects calm and conducts herself with maturity.”

YORD

“Yord, a Jedi Knight and guardian from the Jedi Temple, is an overachiever and a rule follower. His need to be a by-the-book Jedi can cloud his mind.”

VERNESTRA “VERN” RWOH

“Vernestra Rwoh is an elder Jedi Master who has ascended the ranks of the Jedi from a teenage prodigy to a leader in the Order. She became one of the youngest Jedi Knights in a generation at age 15, and solidified her status as a prodigy when she took Imri Cantaros as a Padawan the next year. With a purple-bladed lightsaber that can change into a lightwhip, young Rwoh led with unwavering faith in the Force and devotion to the Jedi Order. But in the year after the fall of Starlight Beacon — while mourning those lost in the destruction, including her own Padawan — Vernestra pulled back from the Order and shifted her focus to heal herself.”

MOTHER ANISEYA

“Mother Aniseya is the leader of a coven of Witches who value their independence and the preservation of their beliefs and powers.”

KELNACCA

“Kelnacca, a Wookiee Jedi, is a loner who lives a solitary life.”

INDARA

“Master Indara is a Jedi Master of great physical and mental skill.”

Star Wars Theory Reveals Why The First Live-Action Wookiee Jedi Is So Important https://screenrant.com/star-wars-wookiee-jedi-kelnacca-barash-vow-theory/

With the Jedi firmly in charge, The Acolyte’s early flickers of a looming dark side threat offers a new kind of Star Wars dynamic. “The quote-unquote ‘war’ of this Star Wars is a much smaller, more personal one,” notes Headland. “The war between people, the war between characters.” Those people include Lee Jung-jae’s Jedi Master Sol (“Massively respected and incredibly powerful,” per Headland); his Padawan, Dafne Keen’s Jecki (“She wants to be perfect for him,” Keen says); Charlie Barnett’s Jedi Knight Yord (“He’s kind of a jerk! He’s a little bit of a goody two-shoes,” admits Barnett); and Joonas Suotamo’s Wookiee Jedi, Kelnacca (“Another Star Wars dream come true,” says the actor).  [...]“It’s one story with several reveals, and new clues and new information each episode,” Headland explains. “It’s not just a mystery that you have to find out. It’s not unlike Russian Doll. It’s almost like a spiral — it digs deeper and deeper and deeper.”

Aliens in the Acolyte trailer!

Tarsunt

Ovissian

Kel Dor

Wookiee - Kelnacca

Mirialan - Vernestra Rwoh

Theelin (Theelin-human hybrid) - Jecki Lon

(also in leaked trailer: Neimoidians, Zabrak)

#the acolyte #i thought that long-necked thing could be an ET but those look different

[tremendouskoalachild]

since The Acolyte is a mystery, and there is some kind of complicated past between Mae and her former master Sol, and we've heard the Rashomon comparisons - it seems reasonable to assume there'll be flashbacks.

do you think we've seen glimpses of any in the trailer? for now i'll assume any Jecki shots are current timeline, and so are shots of Mae in her main outfit.

#the acolyte #that's right i'm back with polls full of flimsy theories for y'all. tell me what you think

[tremendouskoalachild]

shots that were NOT in the Celebration 2023 trailer (and aren't different takes of the same shots we've seen)

Youngling lesson

While the opening is similar, the line "Tell me what comes into your mind" and its responses weren't in the original trailer.

2. Yord's line

Someone is killing Jedi. It doesn't make sense.

3. Jedi looking at forest

4. Kelnacca

5. Sol's investigation

What happened?

I sensed darkness.

6. Ship arriving

7. Entire Mae vs Sol fight

8. Mae running through burning forest

9. Ship crashing in snow

10. Mae by the sea

11. Jecki's line

What is that?

12. Red lightsaber

The final shots of Jedi in a line igniting their lightsabers was entirely different in the first trailer too, and did not include them being thrown back.

#the acolyte #some of these i assume the vfx simply weren't finished a year ago #others i have no idea. i guess they wanted to include more character introduction appropriate shots for stills
