If you haven’t been watching Disney+ series “The Acolyte,” you really should be. A new chapter from the galaxy far, far away, turns out series star Amandla Stenberg has some serious violin chops. We knew they were a fan of the “Star Wars” franchise already (remember when they showed up for their casting announcement dressed as Queen Amidala at Celebration?!), but adding musical talent on top of that? Pretty awesome.

During a recent stop by “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Stenberg treated everyone to a performance of the iconic John Williams‘ “Star Wars” theme.

(They also performed the theme as a more intimate solo version last month.)

The first two episodes of “The Acolyte” are currently streaming in Disney+. New episodes arrive each Tuesday at 6pm (Pacific).
