Set around fifty years before “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” towards the end of the High Republic era, the live-action series follows a former Jedi Padawan and her one-time Master.
The pair investigate sinister crimes in an ever-changing galaxy, challenging the fallibility of the Jedi Order.

It comes ahead of “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” expected in the back half of 2024 followed by the second season of “Andor” in early 2025. A new season of “Ahsoka” is also in the works, along with “The Mandalorian and Grogu” movie for a 2026 release.
