Disney finally released a trailer and a premiere date for the next Star Wars TV series. The Acolyte will hit Disney+ on June 4th with a two-episode series premiere.
1:05 – What is The Acolyte?
The Acolyte is the first live-action series set in The High Republic era. Here is the Official Synopsis:
“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….”
There is a quote from showrunner Leslye Headland from a few years back teasing that the series will help explain why a Sith Lord could be in the presence of Jedi without being noticed.
My question when watching The Phantom Menace was always like, ‘Well, how did things get to this point?’ How did we get to a point where a Sith lord can infiltrate the Senate and none of the Jedi pick up on it? Like, what went wrong

However, a recent quote doesn’t sound as reassuring as that premise.
Whatever You Think The Acolyte Is, It’s Not

As for the setting, it takes place approximately 130 BBY (or 1847 in real years). Most of the characters will be new, but there is also a good chance we’ll see some of the physically older characters such as Yoda or Yaddle. We’re likely going to see more Jedi than ever before.
Speaking of Jedi, we’ve learned that some fights will use the Wushu fighting style, which is fitting because that is the Martial Art used by Ray Park when he played Darth Maul.
6:20 – The Trailer
The dagger used in the trailer looks familiar…
An assassin (Amandia Stenberg) approaches a town
Jedi Master Sol training a group of Kids– err younglings.
Jedi youngling
The obligatory cantina scene
Jedi youngling meditating with The Force
Carrie-Anne Moss’s Jedi Master sees the would-be assassin approach her
Carrie-Anne Moss’s character fights very defensively, which backs up one of Yoda’s most famous quotes.
