‘The Acolyte’: Amandla Stenberg To Lead Disney+ ‘Star Wars’ Series – Update

Zack Sharf Oscar Isaac appears to have changed his course when it comes to a possible return to “Star Wars.” The actor played fan-favorite Poe Dameron in the most recent “Star Wars” trilogy with Daisy Ridley’s Rey and John Boyega’s Finn, but he ended his run burnt out and doubtful that he’d ever return for more. However, Isaac recently said during a SiriusXM interview that he’s “so open” to more “Star Wars” as long as “there was a great story and a great director.”“I don’t know.

Diego Luna is back on “Star Wars.” The Mexican actor starred in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” in 2016, and is back to reprise his role in “Andor,” a prequel series that show’s his character’s initial involvement with the Rebellion. In an interview, he discusses his upcoming work and why fear is an important motivator in life.Diego Luna returns to the Star Wars universe for Disney+’s ‘Andor’Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna reunite in a boxing seriesLuna is booked and busy. Aside from the taxing work of being involved in “Star Wars,” Luna is also doing voice work in the series “DC League of Super Pets” and the upcoming TV show “La Maquina,” which reunites him with his old friend Gael Garcia Bernal.

It’s been interesting to see the stars of the “Star Wars” Sequel Trilogy, which began with “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” react to their massive introductions in one of the biggest films of all time. Especially, when you consider the two leads, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, have gotten to the point where they are shying away from continuing the franchise route of their career.

Despite a fandom that has shown to be toxic at the mention of diversity and inclusivity, “Star Wars” has always had a political undercurrent throughout the franchise. I mean, it’s really about Rebels fighting against an evil Empire, huh? Remember those overt political in the prequels? Sure, there are laser sword fights and space battles for those who just want that, but “Star Wars” has a long track record of trying to be a socially-conscious, political franchise.

A full-length trailer for the 12 episode series dropped Monday, with fans furious after noticing an unnamed character brandishing what appears to be the controversial rifle during an action scene. Longtime lovers of the George Lucas sci-fi franchise say the inclusion of the weapon is unfaithful to the “Star Wars” universe and have slammed “Andor” producers as “lazy.”It’s also likely that gun reform campaigners will be triggered by the appearance of an AK-47 in a Disney show, particularly in light of recent mass shootings. While “Star Wars” prop teams have frequently used real-life weapons as the basis for fictional munitions featured in the franchise, this appears to be the first time an unmodified real-life weapon has appeared in the “Star Wars” world — and fans aren’t happy.
