The first two episodes of the hotly-anticipated new Star Wars show, The Acolyte, are out now on Disney Plus. If you've already binged the eps then you're likely intrigued by Kelnacca - the Wookiee Jedi Master who makes his debut in the second episode, as played by Joonas Suotamo (who also donned the fur to play Chewbacca in Star Wars movies The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, and Solo).
While the show takes place in the High Republic era - a setting that has a pretty well-established history in comics and books - the character was created specifically for the TV show. Still, Kelnacca will be making the move to comics later this year in Star Wars: The Acolyte - Kelnacca #1, a new one-shot by long-time High Republic scribe Cavan Scott and drawn by Marika Cresta.
