Star Wars returns to Disney+ in June when The Acolyte drops with a two-episode premiere.
The Acolyte is set at the end of the High Republic era in a world of “shadowy secrets and emerging dark side powers”, approximately 100 years before Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999). 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 series, created by Leslye Headland, takes place before the main Star Wars films and television shows. Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae star in the leading roles as respected Jedi Master Sol and former Padawan who is now a dangerous warrior Mae respectively. Also appearing is Manny Jacinto as Qimir, Carrie-Anne Moss as Indara, Dafne Keen as Jecki Lon, Jodie Turner-Smith as Mother Aniseya, Rebecca Henderson as Vernestra Rwoh, and Charlie Barnett as Yord Fanda.
On June 4, don’t miss the two-episode premiere of The Acolyte, a Star Wars Original series, only on Disney+. The series will consist of eight episodes.
