Dafne Keen is sporting a whole new look! The Logan star looks completely unrecognizable in new images from Star Wars: The Acolyte.
Fans knew Dafne Keen was going to be an action icon ever since she made a splash in Logan as X-23. This made The Acolyte the next logical choice for her career, with the Star Wars universe perfect for the flips and brutality that made her role in Logan so special.
After years of waiting, Star Wars fans finally have their first look at Dafne Keen’s character in The Acolyte. The actress is set to play a Theelin-human hybrid named Jecki Lon, who serves as a Jedi Padawan beneath Jedi Master Sol. The first images can be seen below.
Dafne Keen Breaks Down Jecki Lon In The Acolyte
Details about Dafne Keen’s character in Star Wars: The Acolyte have been basically nonexistent. However, it seems fans are eating good this week. Along with the images, the Logan star also broke down how she views Jecki Lon and what the character’s key motivations are.
“I’d say she is a very dedicated Padawan,” Keen told Entertainment Weekly. “She’s definitely in awe of him in a very kind of sweet way. She thinks the absolute world of him in a way that I think they have a very sweet relationship, but she’s much more aware of the authority difference than, for example, Obi-Wan and Anakin.”
“She’s very much like, ‘No, he’s the master and I’m the Padawan and he’s perfect. And everything he says, I have to follow to the T.'”
It certainly seems as though The Acolyte is setting up a very long journey for Dafne Keen’s Star Wars character. Given how brutal the show is shaping up to be, it’s not likely Jecki Lon will stay a star-eyed Padawan for long.
