Star Wars Casts Netflix Breakout Actor In Upcoming Disney+ Show

Following 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, prequels have, once again, been the name of the game when it comes to new Star Wars storytelling. 

In addition to The Mandalorian which is set between Return of the Jedi and Disney's sequel trilogy, Lucasfilm is currently exploring the years between Revenge of the Sith and George Lucas' original trilogy with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor. 

But come 2023, Star Wars is set to delve into new, albeit prequel, territory in a series set 100 years before The Phantom Menace with The Acolyte.

While fans know little about the series' plot, just who has been cast for this Disney+ show has slowly been coming to light; and now, another actor has been confirmed.
