Disney and Lucasfilm are bringing Star Wars to smaller screens again as The Acolyte is set to premiere soon. The eight-episode series will take us to the era of The High Republic—a golden age for the Jedis—where murders start taking place and a sinister force rises in the shadows.
The Acolyte stars Amandla Steinberg in the dual roles of Osha and Mae, and she will be joined by Squid Game star Lee Jung-Jae, who will become the Jedi Master Sol.

With the show premiering soon, fans are excited to see exactly what the premiere of the show will bring to the table when the first two episodes drop on June 4, 2024.

What is The Acolyte about?
The Acolyte is a Star Wars show that is set to take us to an era where the Jedi prospered—the High Republic. After many Jedi start getting murdered, a Jedi Master named Sol leads an investigation into these murders that puts him in the path of his former student Mae. As the investigation goes on, Sol discovers something darker brewing in the shadows. As per Disney, the official synopsis for the show reads:
"In Lucasfilm's “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…."
At Star Wars Celebration 2023, series creator Leslye Headland revealed that she wanted to tell the story of the show from the villain's point of view.
“What I wanted it to introduce the fans to the concept too was how do you reconcile the Jedi at the height of their power, the Galaxy at the height of this Age of Enlightenment and peace, and who George says they become at the top of The Phantom Menace.”
Starring Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-Jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Jodie Turner-Smith, Charlie Barnett, Rebecca Henderson, Joonas Suotamo, Carrie-Ann Moss, and more, the series premiers on Disney+ on June 4, 2024.
