There is good news for fans of the Star Wars movies. Amandla Stenberg is the star of Leslye Headland's Star Wars: The Acolyte. Jodie Turner- Smith is said to be joining the group.
Turner- Smith is on her way to becoming a household name. In addition to being cast in a new Star Wars show, the actress has also appeared in two other films this year. White Noise and Murder Mystery 2 are two films that she is in.
The Acolyte will begin filming in London later this year, according to the trade. It is set thousands of years before the Skywalker Saga and is likely to focus on some kind of dark side lore. Stenberg, who is playing the lead, made an announcement at San Diego Comic-Con.
Turner-Smith is likely to cast, and the start date is fast, so we might hear more about the project soon. At the D23 expo later this week, maybe? The most likely time for us to see the show is in the year 2024. In a few weeks, Andor will be here, followed by the third season of The Mandalorian. The Ahsoka show and Jon Watts' Skeleton Crew are currently filming. We could get four Star Wars shows in the future. We'll have to wait and see.
