New Star Wars: The Acolyte Posters & Character Profiles Released 1 Week Before The Two-Episode Premiere
Summary Star Wars revealed new character posters and profiles for The Acolyte.
The main characters featured in the posts include Sol, Indara, Mae, Kelnacca, and Jecki Lon.
The Acolyte's profiles give insight into each character's strengths, weaknesses, and connections to one another.
Star Wars has revealed new character posters and profiles for The Acolyte, just a week before the show is set to premiere. As the upcoming Star Wars show draws closer, more confirmed details about The Acolyte are being revealed every day. Many aspects of The Acolyte, such as its place in the Star Wars timeline, have been more fleshed out, but several details about The Acolyte's cast of characters have remained closely guarded. That has since changed, though, thanks to new information from the franchise.
In a series of posts by Star Wars on social media, the franchise revealed several posters and profiles for The Acolyte's main characters, including Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae), Master Indara (Carrie-Anne Moss), Mae (Amandla Stenberg), Master Kelnacca (Joonas Suotamo), and Jecki Lon (Dafne Keen). The posters provide great, up-close views of the central figures in the show, and particularly their blue and green lightsabers. Meanwhile, the profiles give some great insight into the show's characters, and how they relate to each other.

Sol
Master Sol is one of the most prominent Jedi in The Acolyte, and his character profile gives a deeper insight into why that is the case. As the post explains, Sol seems to balance skill in both lightsaber combat and strength in the Force, which would make him a very well-rounded Jedi. Interestingly, it seems that he doesn't completely embody balance, as his profile states Sol has to actively keep his emotions in check, which is unusual for a Jedi Master.

Indara
Indara's profile seems to suggest that while she's similar to Sol in many ways, there's a key difference. The post indicates that Indara favors her strength in the Force more than her skill with a lightsaber, which is supported by many of The Acolyte's trailers. It also hints that Indara's skill with the Force has given her much more command over her emotions than Sol has, which could be a key factor in how the two Masters interact with each other.

Mae
Mae has been one of The Acolyte's most mysterious characters ever since the show was announced, and her character profile offers little insight into that mystery. The post is noticeably vague about Mae's backstory, referring to it only as "tragic" and it only makes general mention of her revenge quest and "those who wronged her." While her profile may not clear up whether Mae sides with the light or dark sides of the Force, it does make it clear that she won't stop until she completes her quest.

Kelnacca
Kelnacca's character profile confirms a key part of his character: that he was a loner. It also makes mention that Kelnacca "sequestered himself in the tangled jungles of Khofar," which opens up quite a few interesting possibilities for his story. It's currently unclear how Kelnacca fits into The Acolyte's larger story, or whether he'll be forced to overcome his solitary ways, but it should be interesting to see how he develops. Another interesting aspect of Kelnacca's poster is that he is the only Jedi who doesn't have their lightsaber drawn of these five.

Jecki Lon
Jecki Lon is the only non-Master Jedi to receive a poster and profile, largely due to her age. As the post suggests, though, Jecki Lon seems to be very mature despite her youth. Interestingly, Jecki Lon seems to be much more in command of her emotions than her teacher, Sol, which should make them an interesting pairing. While Sol will take the traditional teacher role as her Master, it seems Jecki Lon may be able to pass on a few lessons to him as well.

One of the more subtle confirmations Star Wars made with these posters and profiles is that these five characters will be the core of The Acolyte. There are several other players in the show, from Mother Aniseya to the unidentified Sith Lord of The Acolyte, but they now seem to be secondary in favor of the five most interconnected characters. It should be interesting to see just how deep those connections run in The Acolyte, and how they'll inform each character's actions.
The Acolyte premieres on June 4 on Disney+.
