The Disney+ streaming service has really been delivering some cool, universe expanding stories under their “Star Wars” franchise. Shows like “The Mandalorian” and “Andor” bring us to right after the original trilogy and right before it and now its time to scroll way, way back in time for “Star Wars: The Acolyte”. I’ve secured the recently dropped trailer along with the basic premise, casting and some art so I hope you all enjoy it. Take a look.

The Premise: 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”. 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. (c/o Wiki)
