Darne Keen's Impressive Lightsaber Training Wows Fans
Dafne Keen posted her lightsaber stunt training for The Acolyte on TikTok while swishing her Jecki Lon role's weapon around on set.
Star Wars fans only got the chance to watch her work come to fruition in The Acolyte episode 5 titled Night, where Jecki had to come up against the masked Qimir aka The Stranger on the jungle planet, Khofar.
What makes it even more impressive is the fact that Keen shared one of the main challenges wielding her 'saber: she's too short and hers would keep hitting the ground.
"I'm too short! They had to make me a custom 'saber for someone who's 5'2," Keen revealed, "They're supposed to hit your waist and mine would hit my chest. It was so long and ridiculous! They were like, 'No, we need to give you a short 'saber, because it looks silly.'"
Despite everyone on set having the same one-size lightsaber, Keen had to have a customized one made for her own use on The Acolyte. Still, this definitely improved her performance and fans lauded her for it.

Unfortunately, as amazing as Keen knocked Star Wars fans' socks off, her character, Jecki Lon and her Jedi Knight Yord Fandar (played by Charlie Barnett) lost their battle with the masked Qimir aka The Stranger.
It would have been interesting to see a two-lightsaber wielder stick longer than one series in the Lucasfilm franchise. However, who's to say she would be the last of the unique fighters in the galaxy far, far away?
