Just ahead of the release of the new Disney+ Original series, “Star Wars: The Acolyte”, Disney held a special UK premiere on Tuesday evening at Odeon Luxe in London’s Leicester Square.

In “The Acolyte,” an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems.

The event was hosted by Yinka Bokinni and included an on stage introduction, with show creator Leslye Headland and cast Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Rebecca Henderson and our first live-action Wookie Jedi, Kelnacca.

Here are some photos from the event:
