Now that the first two episodes of The Acolyte are out, we can finally talk about the spoiler-not-spoiler that’s revealed before the first episode’s even over. Yes, Amandla Stenberg plays twins in the new Star Wars series.
Now that that’s definitely no longer a secret, Hasbro feels safe to reveal their action figures of Osha, who comes in three styles, just like her sister Mae. Isn’t that just like Star Wars, to give one twin a normal Earth name, and the other a name that sounds like a government agency?
Sisters Doing It for Themselves
Osha joins the Vintage Collection, Black Series, and Retro Collection, along with her pocket droid and tools. But she’s not alone. In the Black Series, she and Mae will both get Holocomm variants: Mae as a Walmart exclusive, Osha for ShopDisney and Hasbro Pulse. Also joining the Holocomm collection will be Ezra Bridger, as seen in hologram form on Ahsoka. And Target will finally give Shin Hati her cape for a new Black Series variant.

The real surprise, though, is a Kenner-style retro-set of Acolyte figures, looking like they came straight out of the early ’80s. (Yes, the first Kenner figures began in the ’70s, but these look like they’d have come slightly later, once Return of the Jedi figures started regularly using cloth capes.) This multipack includes Mae and Osha, the first-ever figure of Mother Aniseya, and Jedis Yord Fandar, Master Sol, and Jecki Lon.
Black Series Ezra and both Oshas will be available June 12 at 1 p.m., with Ezra a fan-channel exclusive. Shin preorders will hit Target July 5th at 9 a.m.; Holocomm Mae July 25th at Walmart at 10 a.m. (All times listed are eastern) Vintage Osha and the retro 6-pack are still TBD as of this writing.
