CNA Lifestyle met up with Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae to talk about his first English-speaking role as Jedi Master Sol in The Acolyte on Disney+. The eight-episode series is set decades before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
South Korea n actor Lee Jung-jae stars as Sol , a Jedi Master who investigates a crime involving his former student, in The Acolyte. “Hello, my name is JJ,” beamed actor Lee Jung-jae in English as he shook my hand before our interview in a hotel in Seoul, South Korea . Clad in a stylish neutral ensemble, the 51-year-old was all smiles as he candidly spoke about his role in theIn fact, Lee was so forthcoming with his responses that you would have thought he was a franchise veteran.
When it comes to characters, I think it’s a little bit different. Because the Star Wars universe has given us so many different characters to love, it’s difficult for me to choose just one.I think the one character that inspired me and helped me create Sol was Qui-Gon Jinn . I wanted to “create” a connection between my character and him.
Honestly, sitting here with you and speaking about my character – a Jedi Master – still feels very unreal to me. So each action scene had already been “created” in video form. It was all done in collaboration with Hollywood’s best teams, and it was thanks to them that that was made possible. Relatively speaking in South Korea, we don’t have that many films or series with the backdrop being the vast universe. So we didn’t have a reason to adopt those technologies.
