The Acolyte Set to Explore Dark Origins of Star Wars Universe

Premiering June 4 on Disney+, the series delves into Sith lore and the High Republic era, promising a fresh narrative angle.

The Acolyte, a new Star Wars series set a century before The Phantom Menace, focuses on a Sith-centered story and explores the origins of the Jedi and Sith in the High Republic era.
Darth Plagueis, known as Palpatine's master, is hinted to play a significant role in the series, potentially explaining the motive behind the Jedi murders.
The series is set to premiere on Disney+ on June 4, 2024, and has already sparked discussions about a second season.
The Acolyte aims to provide a fresh perspective on the Star Wars universe, drawing heavily from the non-canon Extended Universe for inspiration.
Fans can expect a departure from familiar elements of the franchise, with a focus on darker themes and the rise of the Dark Side.
