The wait is over, and fans are excited for Star Wars: The Acolyte, the newest series to enter the Star Wars universe from Disney+.

I mean, let’s see, Stenberg is starring alongside Lee Jung-Jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, and Carrie-Anne Moss. 

Interestingly The Acolyte is Star Wars’ take on the crime thriller genre, starring Lee, as Shadow and Act reportedly puts is a Jedi Master who goes up against Stenberg, a warrior who is connected to the Jedi Master’s past. “As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems…” the official description states.

The series creator is Leslye Headland, who serves as executive producer with Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micallef. Co-executive producers include Charmaine DeGraté and Kor Adana, with Rayne Roberts, Damian Anderson, Eileen Shim, and Rob Bredow producing.

Headland will direct the first two episodes. Other directors include more diversity with South Korean Kogonada, Alex Garcia Lopez, and Hanelle Culpepper. Michael Abels, best known for his music on Get Out and Us, will serve as series composer.

The Acolyte’s first two episodes will premiere on Disney+ on June 4.

The Hillbillies, more or less an alter-ego duo of cousins Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar, headlined Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival last weekend. Before their set, a mysterious trailer played on the stage’s screen for what we now know to be Baby Keem’s forthcoming The Melodic Blue visual. This morning, November 16, a press release confirmed that The Melodic Blue will be available to globally stream on Amazon Prime Video on December 5.

“Keem’s internal battle leads us through fragments of memory and temptation as he navigates the depths of The Melodic Blue,” the press release teased.

The Melodic Blue first arrived as Baby Keem’s major-label debut album in September 2021, which Uproxx’s Wongo Okon reviewed as “Baby Keem’s attempt to balance his individuality with a reduced dose of his trademarked chaotic energy.” Keem dropped a deluxe version in October 2022.

According to the press release, The Melodic Blue visual was directed by Savannah Setten. It stars acclaimed actress Amandla Stenberg opposite Keem, Shakira Ja’nai Paye, Francis Lovehall, and Séréna Sy. The visual presented by Eerie Times, pgLang, and Amazon Music was co-executive produced Keem, Kendrick Lamar, and Dave Free. Jamie Rabineau and Cornell Brown are also credited producers.
