The Acolytes Amandla Stenberg on Exploring the Jedis Unchecked Power

The Dark Side of the Force continues to gain power in the shadows, and a new character will emerge in an era of the Star Wars galaxy that has never been explored on screen before. Amandla Stenberg, who will play the lead role in the upcoming Disney+ series, The Acolyte, was interviewed by Collider s Editorinchief, Steven Weintraub during Star Wars Celebration, and the actress was excited to share how the production from the show was different from that of The Mandalorian and other television projects set in the universe: Something technical that I can speak to, I thought that, because of how The Mandalorian was shot, we would be shooting on a volume, but we shoot on practical sets. So probably the thing thats been the most shocking for me is walking onto these humongous practical sets that have been created just for our world. Ive never had that experience before. Ive been on amazing sets, of course, in my career, but theres nothing like Filming on practical sets
