A Wookiee Jedi Master at Last: I Would Die for Kelnacca in ‘The Acolyte’

8 0
06.06.2024

The Acolyte, the latest Star Wars series on Disney , takes us away from the Skywalker saga into the world of the High Republic. But none of that matters—because the most important thing about The Acolyte is Kelnacca (Joonas Suotamo), a new Wookiee character. He’s more than just a Wookiee—though honestly, these epic beasts are more than enough on their own—he’s a freaking Jedi. Not just a Jedi, but a Jedi master. Two episodes into the show, and I’m already prepared to lay myself down on the train tracks for him.

The hype for Kelnacca is real: Marvel Comics is even releasing a comic book in September all about Kelnacca’s origin, which they announced before the series was even released. He’s been a prominent part of the marketing for The Acolyte, but if you’re anything like me and want to go into a series with as little knowledge as possible, the surprising reveal of Kelnacca being a Jedi blew my mind and launched me into Kashyyyk. (For the normies reading, Kashyyyk is the Wookiees’ home planet.)

Though early teasers hinted at Kelnacca’s appearance, The Acolyte waits until the end of the Episode 2 to reveal him, setting it all up as a major cliffhanger before........
