Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-Jae from The Acolyte | Star Wars Celebration LIVE! 2023

The Acolyte's Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-Jae stop by the LIVE! Stage at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 for one of their first Star Wars interviews. The pair discusses their first steps in the galaxy far, far away, and more with host Anthony Carboni.

[@KuyaArbin]

Amandla cosplaying as Padme for her first Star Wars Celebration made the entire fandom immidietly love her

[@jakattack117]

Bet they told her to do it for that reason cause they knew we were about to hate her and the show 😂

[@KuyaArbin]

@@jakattack117 I dislike the show, but don’t dislike the actress. Amandla is incredible in her other roles. It’s just trash writing ruining Star Wars once again. I blame Leslie or whatever the creator of this show’s name is.

[@redfieldology]

@@jakattack117 or she just did it cuz she's a fan of star wars and who the hell is we? not saying u cant hate the show but why are u hating on her?💀 its such lowlife behaviour

[@Xero2mode]

I never imagine I could hear my language in Star Wars Celebration. SO PROUD OF YOU 이정재!.

[@ronniesilva8183]

I have no plans to see the crew Jedi movie when it comes out on all you guys already ruined Luke Skywalker he ruins Star Wars now to stop thinking it’s because it’s a female lead that trigger to make money you’re not gonna make money at all I have no plans to see anything to do with the new Star Wars. I love the old Star Wars better .

[@darthqizah8670]

​@@ronniesilva8183 who asked

[@squidink3470]

@@ronniesilva8183 Strong "old man yells at cloud" vibes with this one. If the "old Star Wars" had come out now you'd be complaining about Lando being black and Leia being a feminazi, lets be real.

[@Sensor_Beam]

@@ronniesilva8183 Who's "you guys"? Name them, or don't because you don't know "who" exactly is at fault here. The higher ups have access to the story, whereas you alone don't. Also, Mandalorian, Clone Wars S7, Rogue One, Andor? Come on man those were great.

[@MrLucaReacts]

So cool to see a Korean actor in a Star Wars project. So unexpected, but really looking forward to it. 이정재 파이팅!!!!

[@gurgashmire]

You can tell she has very collected thoughts as well, she seems committed and intelligent. One of the better casting vibes lately in my opinion, along with Sabine, the actress for Mon Mothma, and the actor for Luthen (obviously).

[@preciousotoakhia9789]

Awesome ❤

[@yeetus_reetus_deeleetus]

Like Amidala

[@Thasanimation]

Lee Jung-jae aaaaa I am so proud! Really looking forward to him as Jedi and speaking English, he's GOOD in acting in different language like English, French, Russia, Japanese and Chinese

[@orainefoster8316]

Amandla Stenberg is quickly becoming one of my top favorite Star Wars cast members, her energy and passion for Star Wars is AMAZING. You can just tell she is genuinely a fan, that Padme Episode 2 fit is so breathtaking on her! Love her prequel love. So excited for her in the Acolyte.

[@pobi-wankenobica]

They both seem soooo sweet. Absolutely loved their presence. You can tell both of them actually love star wars

[@MCLegoboy]

Arriving in cosplay is a pretty baller move as a star guest.

[@Parkkh2239]

Lee Jung Jae is known for a huge Star Wars fan. He grew up watching them :) I am looking forward to seeing his acting in the Star Wars franchise and how he delivers great emotion to the show.

[@levinemgl1]

Amandla Stenberg is one of my favorite actors and I am so happy / excited to see Amandla join the Star Wars universe.

Have you ever seen any television or film not staring her? I feel like you are eating the moldy pizza in the fridge after the world ends? Am I being hyperbolic. or is it just you?

[@just_matt3937]

It's incredible to see Star Wars expand with diversity. 5 years ago, I would have never imagined a Korean-speaking actor starring in a Star Wars film.

[@levinemgl1]

This is the Star Wars show I'm most excited for and it's because of Amandla.

[@stevekim7738]

@levinemgl so no other cast in the Acolyte series will matter? It's a very marginal and vacant thing to say, no?

[@Wackaz]

Man, Amandla is so gorgeous, beautiful, passionate and intelligent, AND she's literally a fan of Star Wars, so much so she wore Padme cosplay (and she looks absolutely stunning and amazing in that outfit). It's clear she's also got such collected thoughts and is really articulate too - genuinely, it couldn't be more refreshing to see from a young person in the modern acting world. Basically, what I'm saying is I think I may have a new crush haha. I remember seeing her in The Hate U Give and thought her acting was exceptional, but I never got to see what she was like behind the silver screen - and wow, I love her already!

[@stiqqy8821]

Super exciting to see a south korean actor in star wars, speaking english pretty well! amandla seems like such a star wars nerd to, acolyte is more exciting to me than ahsoka tbh, that era is finally getting explored!

[@BroPaulSyrel]

I loved Amandla and Lee Jung 😊

[@TazKidNoah]

Lee Jung-Jae was only good part of the show, he carried it more than anyone could ever realize. He is a Real star wars fan

[@IHateRichMunizza]

Great entrance!!!! She has that star wars spirit for sure.

He can speak english but he need memorize the script. He cannot think in English sentence fast enough but he will get there, his performance is very amazing already for someone who just started in English language film

[@randalepical6591]

It's cool to see Lee Jung Jae finally in Star Wars universe and well got the support and recognition he deserves. But I was hoping his English could be better. I don't mind translation but it just feel more better and natural.

[@loversinmusic]

Su vestuario me hizo recordar a la beliisima Padme Amidala!!😍

[@sofaking1627]

I feel like there's not a lot of hype for Acolyte and it reminds me how there wasn't a lot of hype for Andor, and then Andor turned out to be the most mature Starwars we've had since Disney took over. I have HIGH hopes for Acolyte and I think after Andor's sleeper hit I can be confident that the show will be great.

[@mythtwist3843]

This is the type of take I'm looking for. A big part of what's helping shows succeed is the lack of expectations. Nobody knew what to expect from Mando and Andor, but everyone and their dog had high expectations for Boba, Kenobi and now with Ahsoka. So far Ahsoka is doing well imo especially compared to the other two. Acolyte being focused more on the Sith and the dark side in a relatively new era that's never before been put on screen is undoubtedly going to be something worth looking forward to. I really hope they pull it off. I don't like a lot of the press around it, I don't want to hear about the political nonsense... please just be an amazing story. They CAN do it. Let's hope they do

[@gr8tbigtreehugger]

Amandla studied Wing Chun for this role!

[@lgc41004]

Sol is so good in this show, it’s a shame the writing has not been the best. I hope he doesn’t have any hate come his way bc the dude is a real treasure. I still think this show could be a banger in the last half
