The Big Picture At this year’s D23 Expo, Star Wars fans were treated to an exclusive panel titled “A Lookback at Star Wars: The Acolyte with Manny Jacinto.” The panel provided an in-depth exploration of Jacinto’s dual role as Qimir and "The Stranger," offering fans a glimpse into the challenges and joys of bringing such a complex character to life.

During the panel, the audience was shown the concept art and final design of Qimir’s helmet. The helmet, which serves as both armor and a sensory deprivation tool to enhance Qimir's connection to the Force, has become a significant symbol in The Acolyte. These early sketches ranged from minimalist, almost featureless masks to more intricate designs with multiple layers and textures. The hope from these designs? To "give people the ick", according to Jacinto.

Jacinto also spoke about the physical and emotional preparation required for these roles. He revealed that his inspiration for "The Stranger" came from legendary dark side characters like Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and Darth Maul, particularly focusing on their movement and presence. "The training day in and day out... I just wanted to get it right. I saw the Hayden Christensen videos and how hard he trained and it inspired me," Jacinto shared.
