Leslye Headland agrees that you know the big sidekick spoiler

That it’s a big thing whether you can or not to have Heard from The Acolyte? Well, apparently it’s not that bad at all. Leslye Headland, the creator of Disney+ coming soon Star Wars to showand its star, Amandla Stenberg, spoke with Hello America this week and confirmed the speculation, a surefire sign that knowing this about the series isn’t a spoiler after all.

But because it is Star Wars and we like to be careful, if you don’t want to be spoiled, here is your final warning.

Course confirmed to the series that, yes, Stenberg plays two characters in The Acolyte, sisters named Mae and Osha. One chose the path of the light side, the other the path of the dark side, and the series will see these two sides clash in new and interesting ways.

Stenberg said the sisters were “separated by tragedy when they were very young.” Osha joined the Jedi Order and was apprenticed to Master Sol (Lee Jung-Jae) before leaving “because she has so much internal turmoil that she is not able to connect to the Force like perhaps she was destined to do so.” As for Mae, everyone thought she was dead, but she’s “actually alive and she’s on the warpath,” Stenberg said.

To play both characters, Stenberg said GMA she “thought a lot about yin and yang and what their physical embodiment and their energetic embodiment would be.”

So let’s come back here for a second. Why is this coming out now when the show is only a week away? Well, since we were I had the chance to see As the first two episodes begin, we have a better question: why was it hidden in the first place? This information about Stenberg playing two characters is not hidden in the series. In fact, this is basically revealed in the second scene. It’s less of a mystery than the actual plot of the entire series. A few months ago, Headland called the show “Frozen meets Kill Bill” so it was there all along. Two Sisters and Revenge. Of course, there’s more – a lot more – but we’ll see that unfold on Disney+ starting next week.

Meeting on GMA to learn more about The Acolyte, including how a character named Mother Aniseya (Jodie Turner-Smith) will redefine certain aspects of the Force.
