The Big Picture

The Acolyte

The Acolyte will feature Vernestra Rwoh’s on-screen debut, exciting fans of the High Republic books. Henderson discusses Vernestra’s biggest strength and weakness in the series, and explains a bit more about her iconic light whip. The upcoming Star Wars series, The Acolyte, will explore shadowy secrets and dark side powers in the High Republic era, and premieres on June 4.

For all the excitement fans are feeling in the lead up to The Acolyte on June 4, fans of the High Republic books have a whole other reason to be excited: among its wide-ranging cast of characters, the Star Wars series will feature the first on-screen appearance of Vernestra Rwoh. A teenage Vernestra made her debut in the middle-grade novel A Test of Courage and the character has been a constant presence in the series ever since. In a new interview to promote the new Leslye Headland-created series, Henderson had a chance to reflect on where Vernestra finds herself in the show.

Greatest Strength and Weakness

When asked what she considered to be Vernestra’s greatest strength and weakness, Henderson started by giving some context for the Jedi Master’s headspace going into the series. She believes that Vernestra is fulfilling her destiny in this series and that her greatest strength is her ability to be deeply thoughtful about things, but that can also be her weakness.

Vernestra’s Light Whip

Since Henderson brought up the light whip — an exciting element carried over directly from the books — Nemiroff followed up by asking how using the weapon differed between whip mode and blade mode. Henderson explained the physical difference and teased just how far Vernestra has come in her Jedi journey.

The Acolyte premieres on Disney+ on June 4. Check out the full interview with Henderson and her co-star Jodie Turner-Smith below.
