Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A viral clip seems to show The Acolyte star Amandla Stenberg saying the show's goal is to make white people cry - but it's nothing to do with Star Wars at all. Lucasfilm's latest Disney+ TV show, The Acolyte, is proving to be massively controversial.

The Amandla Stenberg Clip Is Actually From 2018 The clip, in which Amandla Stenberg is interviewed by Trevor Noah, is taken from a 2018 interview on The Daily Show. Far from discussing The Acolyte, Stenberg is in fact talking about her 2018 movie The Hate U Give. Based on a young-adult novel, George Tillman Jr.'s movie stars Amandla Stenberg, Regina Hall, Russell Hornsby, Lamar Johnson, KJ Apa, Sabrina Carpenter, Common, and Anthony Mackie.
