The Acolyte starts on Disney Plus on June 5, 2024 – it starts with two episodes at once, followed by new episodes every week. Now there is a fresh trailer for the Star Wars series that shows the villain like a creature from a horror film. What is it all about? The Acolyte takes place during the High Republic, specifically around 100 years before the events of Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace. The Force is shaken when several Jedi suddenly fall victim to a mysterious assassin. That’s why Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae) and his padawan Jecki Lon (Dafne Keen) are sent to get to the bottom of the matter.
