Actress Abigail Thorn stars in the new Star Wars Cinematic Universe (SWCU) show The Acolyte, which drops on Disney+ this week.
Thorn plays ensign Eurus in The Acolyte, which is set at the end of the High Republic era – approximately 100 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.
According to Deadline, the new show is a “mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers… [when] a former padawan reunites with her Jedi master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.”
Thorn will be appearing alongside Lee Jung-jae of Squid Game fame, Amandla Stenberg (The Hunger Games), and Carrie-Anne Moss, who featured in The Matrix franchise.
Not much is known about Thorn’s character or how she fits into the wider narrative of the show, but as she is also known as a prolific YouTuber and a trans trailblazer, we thought it would be a good time to revisit what we know about her.
