Star Wars in kung-fu mode in this new extract from The Acolyte
Jedi Master Sol doesn't even need to draw his lightsaber…
Did you recognize the number 456 of Squid Game ? Lee Jung-jae reveals himself as a Jedi Master, in this new video which offers an extract from The Acolytethe series which is coming very soon to Disney Plus.
He will be Master Sol, a powerful Jedi who faces Mae here (Amanda Stenberg), a former Padawan and dangerous warrior from her past. The two engage in hand-to-hand combat, without lightsabers. Which first surprises Sol, who then engages in a surprising kung-fu fight, rarely seen in the universe Star Warswhere the Jedi are not particularly known for being potential Bruce Lee.
