After his jaw-dropping debut this week, The Stranger is the latest character to receive a character poster from The Acolyte.
With the first five episodes of The Acolyte now streaming, Lucasfilm is rewarding fans with a new character poster drop. In keeping with tradition, the studio has started to release a new poster for a character from the series. So far, we’ve seen posters for Master Indara, Jedi Master Sol, Jecki Lon, Kelnacca, and Mae. Last week, Yord, Osha, Vernestra, Torbin, Qimir, Mother Koril, and Mother Aniseya joined the collection. But after this week’s thrilling installment, the shroud of the dark side has fallen.
In today’s release, we are treated to a new character poster and accompanying bio that has everyone talking. Following the jaw-dropping debut of this character in the series, The Stranger has made a formidable entrance, establishing his authority over his counterparts. The Sith Lord’s introduction was nothing short of sensational, as he wielded his lightsaber in a captivating battle against the Jedi. His menacing presence, coupled with his distinctive helmet, instilled fear in the hearts of his adversaries. Now, the question is, does this bone-chilling debut translate into an equally captivating character poster? Take a look below and decide for yourself.

After his debut, speculations are swirling about the sinister Sith’s latest helmet design. Some fans believe it resembles Kylo Ren’s iconic helmet from the sequel trilogy, leading to rumors that the mysterious villain could potentially be the first-ever Knight of Ren. Using Kylo Ren’s distinctive theme in the episode’s closing moments adds more fuel to the speculation. However, the full significance of this revelation is expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
REVIEWS
In his THREE-STAR REVIEW, our Editor Phil Roberts said, “The Acolyte has made a strong start. Guided by Leslye Headland, the series skillfully delves into the Jedi lore. The visuals are stunning, and the fight scenes are incredibly well-choreographed. It’s a rich and fulfilling Star Wars series. However, some issues need to be overcome to be embraced by the broader world of Star Wars. However, with its fantastic new characters and an outstanding performance from Lee Jung-jae, the series has opened the door to a new era of Star Wars storytelling, which is an exciting prospect.”
In his FIVE STAR REVIEW, our Collectables Editor Thomas Storai said, “The Acolyte delivers an intense and action-packed episode, its best yet and the best episode of Star Wars television. It features nonstop lightsaber fights with fantastic choreography. Undoubtedly, it keeps you on the edge of your seat—an absolute emotional rollercoaster!”
RELEASE
Of course, this character is just one of a handful of the new characters that will carry this new series forward. But seeing these unforgettable characters being pushed to the forefront is refreshing. So, we are already eating well with Leslye Headland’s groundbreaking series.
