Not solely is Amandla Stenberg about to grow to be one in all the newest Force wielders within the Star Wars galaxy, they’re additionally about to blow your thoughts as a musician too.
The official Star Wars site simply posted a wonderful new video of Stenberg, who stars in the upcoming The Acolyte, taking part in the violin, one thing they’ve been doing since childhood. However what’s particular about this video although is that John Williams himself not solely permitted Stenberg to play the piece, he additionally wrote them a particular new model optimized for solo violin. Which principally means you’ve heard the Star Wars theme a billion occasions, however by no means fairly like this. Test it out.
Nicely, that was superb. And we’re hoping Stenberg is equally as superb as Mae, their character on The Acolyte which is coming ahead of you assume on June 4. Mae is described by the official Star Wars web site as somebody who “will get swept up right into a sinister thriller—one which places her into the middle of a battle in surprising methods.” We think about that might be expanded out mightily within the coming months.
As for Williams, so far as we all know, his music isn’t in The Acolyte (the composer for the present is Get Out’s Michael Abels), however hopefully, we get a theme right here and there. The present, which co-stars Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Eager, Charlie Barnett, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, and Carrie-Anne Moss, premieres with two episodes on June 4. Are you as excited as we’re?
