The first trailer for the Disney+ Star Wars series The Acolyte has now been unleashed, and offers all manner of mystery and lightsaber battles for fans to enjoy. The new Star Wars TV series will land on Disney Plus from June 4, 2024, and features an all-star cast that includes Lee Jung-jae, Amandla Stenberg, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Carrie-Anne Moss.

You can check out the first trailer and the official plot synopsis for The Acolyte below.

“In an age of light, a darkness rises. The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that takes us to a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the Star Wars High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.”

The Acolyte will be the next Star Wars show to hit Disney+. Just like Andor before it, this latest addition to the franchise looks set to bring another somewhat grounded Star Wars story to screens, and along with it a first look into the High Republic era of the space saga.

The Acolyte is a series that has been on the Lucasfilm slate for some time, having been delayed thanks to the Covid Pandemic and Hollywood strikes. Now fans have a release date of June 4 to look forward to, with the new trailer and synopsis teasing a new battle between the light and dark side of the Force. You can check out further plot details below:

“In The Acolyte , 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….”

One thing that is clear is that The Acolyte is going to be another series that defies expectations and does not deliver just another same-old story that the Star Wars franchise has told before.

Where Does The Acolyte Fit in the Star Wars Timeline?

The original Star Wars trilogy had a very short timeline, but that was only the beginning of the story. Just as the original trilogy became the center point of the subsequent prequel and sequel trilogies, the entire Skywalker Saga and everything that has been built between that story are now about to sit within an even more expanded universe. That expansion begins with The Acolyte.

The series is set around 100 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, and will be focused on the rising Sith power in the galaxy. We already know where the story goes, but how it gets there is something that Lucasfilm are now attempting to explore in a number of ways.

The story of The Acolyte, though, is not that far in the past when considering the upcoming James Mangold movie, which will go back thousands of years to the dawn of the Jedi order. While that film is still sometime away, The Acolyte’s arrival is only a few months away as the first live-action offering of 2024.

In addition to
The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew
and
Andor
Season 2 are currently expected to debut on Disney+ later this year.
