Disney+ is gearing up to release a brand new Star Wars series called The Acolyte. This exciting mystery-thriller is set to take fans back in time, around 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace. For just £4.99 a month, you can become a Disney+ member and have access to the entire Star Wars franchise in one convenient location.
The Acolyte promises to offer a fresh and darker perspective on the beloved Star Wars universe. Set in a galaxy filled with secrets and emerging dark-side powers, this series will introduce new elements that fans have never seen before. Get ready for the first-ever appearance of a Jedi Wookie and a modified lightsaber-whip.
Joining the ranks of other popular Star Wars series like The Mandalorian, Andor, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Acolyte is sure to captivate audiences. This particular series explores the High Republic era, a time period that has never been portrayed in live-action before. Set during the final days of this era, it delves into the events that occurred 100 years prior to the Skywalker Saga.
The story follows a respected Jedi Master as he investigates a shocking crime spree. He finds himself facing off against a dangerous warrior from his past, leading them both down a dark and treacherous path. Sinister forces come into play, revealing that things are not as they seem.
The Acolyte also delves into the concept of the Jedi Order at its peak. It explores how this esteemed organization can be both powerful and on the brink of chaos. Showrunner Leslye Headland explains that the series focuses on the Jedi as an institution, highlighting their struggles against the underdog.
This series takes fans even further back in time, to a period when encountering a Sith was as unlikely as stumbling upon a dinosaur in today’s world. The Acolyte launches on June 5th, with the first two episodes premiering. The remaining six episodes will be released weekly, leading up to the thrilling finale on June 17th.
