Star Wars The Acolyte gives franchise fans a sneak peek at life during the High Republic era.

The series takes a step back and brings everyone 100 years before the events of the Phantom Menace. It introduces several new characters, including Jedi Master Sol, Yord, Osha, and Mother Aniseya.

Star Wars fans also noticed one particular character who has yet to appear in the TV show: Ensign Eurus. She appears in one of the series' first trailers, and fans quickly realised that the actress playing her looks familiar.

British actress and YouTuber Abigail Thorne will play Ensign Eurus.

Abigail started her career on YouTube and eventually became an actress for multiple series, such as Ladhood and Django. She also appeared as Nocturne in the 2023 GOTY winner Baldur’s Gate 3.

She is set to appear in The Acolyte as Ensign Eurus, a character possibly affiliated with Mother Aniseya, the leader of a coven of witches on Osha’s home planet, Brendok.

The Acolyte is one of Abigail’s upcoming roles; she will also appear in The House Of Dragon as Sharako Lohar.

YouTube fans from her channel Philosopher Tube are happy to see their beloved content creator and actress in a Star Wars series. With Episodes 1 and 2 already available, fans can only anticipate when their favourite actress will come on screen.

As an ensign for the witch coven, Eurus may play a significant role in the story involving the twin sisters Osha and Mae.

Witches in the Star Wars universe are Force-sensitive users who utilise the dark side of the Force as magick. Eurus is seen as part of this coven, but The Acolyte has yet to show what will happen next.
