By It’s official, Disney has set June 4th as the premiere date for the upcoming “Star Wars” series “The Acolyte”. Additionally, a teaser poster has been released, whilst the first trailer will arrive tomorrow.
Set around fifty years before the events of “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” and towards the end of the High Republic era, the live-action series follows a former Jedi Padawan and her one-time Master.
A new official synopsis says: “an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems.”
Joonas Suotamo, Jodie Turner-Smith, Manny Jacinto, Carrie-Anne Moss, Dean-Charles Chapman, Margarita Levieva, Charlie Barnett and Rebecca Henderson also star.
The series hails from creator Leslye Headland and will premiere its eight episodes exclusively on the Disney+ service.
The show precedes “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” which is set in the Mandoverse time period, in the back half of 2024. They will be 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.
