The best 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars stories aren't really about Star Wars at all, but about the humans (or aliens or robots) affected by them. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars: The Acolyte understands this, telling the tale of two sisters torn apart by fate and destiny, who piece together their broken relationship while one hunts the other. Through the mother the girls leave behind, and the Jedi father-figure just one of them is raised by, The Acolyte is a storꦐy of childhood and parenting as much as it is lightsaber whips and space explosions.

When I sat down to talk with three of the stars - Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, and Rebecca Henderson - they each had different perspectives on the idea of childhood and how theirs intersected with ꦚStar Wars. The trio grew up in different eras of Star Wars (Keen is 19, Barnett 36, Henderson 42), but while the Acolyte draws from different parts of the Star Wars canon for inspiration while avoiding the toybox temptation of cameos, all of them agree on what Star Wars, at its heart, 'is'.

Star Wars Has A Near-Universal Starting Point

"When you say Star Wars to me, I see Mark Hamill, I see Harrison Ford, I see Carrie Fisher a💛nd I see the original trilogy, because that's what I watched with my dad when I was eight," Keen tells me, proving the old ones are still the best. "To me, that's w🙈hat Star Wars is. And even though that's the first thing I watched, I grew up on the sequels. And it's so incredible that this started in the '70s. And we're still making it, and people are still watching it. And it's become so much more than just a film or a show. It's almost kind of a spiritual thing. It's so beautiful to see how unifying it is, and how many people just come together to love this amazing thing that George Lucas created in the '70s with this really cool concept of something so ethical and creative and creative, crazy and out there. And just at the core of it, human. And it's really such an honour to be able to be a part of it."

Barnett has a similar experience, as he's sure millions of Star Wars fans do. "That💎's the tap for me too," he says. "The most beautiful part for me is that it's generational. That it is something so specific for my father, it's something so specific for me. It's something specific for people who are growing up in this age, and now it's entering this whole new phase as well. I love the cross-effectiveness of that. I know for myself that pod racing was my direct connection, which is such a different point for the Star Wars universe, just because [of] the technology alone at that point in filmmaking. But it's really the intergenerational part of it that is so cool."

It's hard to touch on exactly why the original Star Wars' have such a unique feel, but one reason may be the physicality. That's another thing returning in The Acolyte, as the sh🍎ow uses minimal green screen and ditches the Volume (large OLED screens that serve the sa🎃me purpose as green screens while being more immersive for the actors) for more practical sets and stunts, something Henderson feels is crucial to the show's feel. "I was just thinking about the original films, how it looked like you could reach out and touch everything in it," she says. "It all just felt [real] because it was practical sets. And I have to say our show feels very similar. It's one of the shows that I've seen that’s most similar to that, all the sets were practically built and it makes it feel old school."

Childhood Is A Key Theme Of The Acolyte

Keen and Barnett both reference watching Star Wars with their fathers, and that has been a theme for me when I've spoken to Star Wars actors previously. 💛It feels like such a universal concept, and that r🍃esonates in the themes of the show. For Barnett in particular, that's an especially poignant part of the series.

"I was drawn to Leia because she was adopted in the beginning, and I'm adopted in real life so that was a big connection for me," he tells me. "But even in [The Acolyte] I hadn't even made the connection. You see it so beautifully with Amandla [Stenberg's] character. I don't know if I'm allowed to say where they're from, but there's a group of people that Amandla's character lives with for some time. And you really get to see the beautiful and open dynamics of what parentage is in a new outer world. Just for all of us in this day and age, I think it's really beautiful to reflect on there's so many ways t𒀰hat you can raise a child and be brought into this world to live in and experience it."
