‘The Acolyte’ Cast Couldn’t Stop Playing With Lightsabers ‘All Day, Every Day’: ‘There Are Some Walls That Got Dented’


At Thursday's premiere of "The Acolyte," the cast and crew shared how they prepared for the latest series from a galaxy far, far away.

That meant 240 hours of lightsaber practice, force training, stunt work and movement coaching from a dedicated team of instructors at Lucasfilm. “You ask questions about the force to this all-knowing man called Pablo [Hidlago], who has been working at Lucasfilm for decades,” Keen explained Thursday at “The Acolyte” premiere in Los Angeles. Although Hidalgo was absent, Keen and the rest of her Jedi trainees celebrated the release of Disney’s newest Star Wars saga “The Acolyte” at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood Thursday night.
