What they’re saying:
- Good Morning America: “From Yoda to Darth Maul, the cast of the new Star Wars series The Acolyte reveal their favorite characters!”
- Amandla Stenberg (Mae): “I change my answer on this every single interview. Pretty much everyone on set is aware of my love of Anakin Skywalker, but I think today I’m gonna say Qui-Gon Jinn. I find him to be one of the most compelling and interesting Jedi.”
- Manny Jacinto (Qimir): “There’s so many. At this moment I’m going to say Darth Maul.”
- Leslye Headland (creator / showrunner): “I’ve been asked this, and I hate to be repetitive, but Anakin. Who else has the arc that he has? I mean, it’s legendary.”
- Rebecca Henderson (Vernestra Rwoh): “I love Yoda. I kinda love everyone, you know? I mean, I hate Jabba the Hutt.”
- Jodie Turner-Smith (Mother Aniseya): “When I was pregnant, The Mandalorian came out with Grogu, and I just remember him being so cute, and all the baby fever in me [came out]. I was full with child.”
- Lee Jung-Jae (Master Sol): “If I were to choose a favorite it would be Qui-Gon Jinn.”
