Star Wars<\/a> has never had much difficulty attracting some big names to a galaxy far, far away \u2013 and the latest series in the beloved sci-fi franchise certainly continues that pattern.<\/p>\n

Amandla Stenberg leads the cast of The Acolyte<\/a>, and she\u2019s joined in the cast by a number of familiar faces including Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae \u2013 who is making his English-language debut having learned the language specifically for his role in the series.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there are also big roles for stars from The Good Place, His Dark Materials and The Matrix<\/a>, as well as a return for a star of the sequel trilogy \u2013 so there\u2019s no shortage of acting talent involved.<\/p>\n

The show takes place roughly a century before the events of The Phantom Menace \u2013 which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary<\/a> \u2013 and follows events after a well-regarded Jedi Master (Lee) gets dragged into a dangerous conflict with a former Padawan (Stenberg) while he is carrying out investigations into a series of crimes.<\/p>\n

Read on for a full list of the stars who feature in the series and more information about where you might have seen them before.<\/p>\n
