Amandla Stenberg stands with a hood over her head in the trailer for Star Wars' The Acolyte
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Amandla Stenberg, star of the upcoming Star Wars: The Acolyte series, honors renowned composer John Williams. Stenberg is playing an assassin and former Jedi Padawan named Mae in her Star Wars debut. Mae will be at the center of The Acolyte's mysteries, with showrunner Leslye Headland pitching the High Republic-era series with Stenberg in mind to play the leading role before she was officially cast.
As Stenberg notes in the video, "John Williams has the ability to create music that feels huge in scope while still being emotive." When she found out that he composed the solo violin arrangements for her, she was "ecstatic when I found out, and terrified. It's a once in a lifetime experience, and it's something I'll hold onto forever."
Even though Williams has not scored an entire Star Wars project since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, his skill and invaluable contributions continue to be honored. It feels fitting that Williams created new arrangements to help usher in The Acolyte, the groundbreaking new series that will show the High Republic era and the galaxy prior to the Skywalker saga in live-action for the first time.
