Star Wars loves its complicated sibling dynamics and The Acolyte may throw in a new twist on that trope.Per Comicbookmovie.com, scooper Daniel Richtman unveiled new rumors about two of the High Republic-era show’s characters, played by Amandla Stenberg and Manny Jacinto respectively. In the case of Stenberg, Richtman claimed the Bodies Bodies Bodies star will play twins “of Sith origin” who find themselves on opposite sides of The Acolyte’s story, with one becoming a Jedi and the other following the path of the Dark Side. The Sith sibling will also reportedly be tasked with assassinating a Jedi played by Carrie-Anne Moss, who specializes in winning battles without having to draw a lightsaber. Likewise, Richtman described Jacinto’s role as playing “both versions of his own character. One good personality, one bad,” though how he ties into the Jedi/Sith conflict remains unclear.The Acolyte marks Lucasfilm’s first live-action take on the High Republic since the literary initiative began in 2021. However, 2023 saw the release of multiple Star Wars projects connected to the High Republic timeline, including Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures. The latter — despite targeting a young demographic — recently featured appearances by High Republic book characters like Bell Zettifer, Loden Greatstorm, and Estala Maru, with franchise author Cavan Scott even writing one of the episode scripts.
