The main cast for Lucasfilm's upcoming Star Wars movie, The Acolyte, includes people who worked on classics like Squid Game and The Matrix. In addition to Amandla Stenberg, the show will also feature other actors.

The show will take place during the High Republic era of Star Wars lore, but there is no information on what roles they will take on. The synopsis is here.

The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.
