Star Wars: The Acolyte Gets Official Release Date And Poster, Trailer Comes Tomorrow
The next Star Wars TV series, The Acolyte, will premiere on June 4 and fans will finally have their first look at the High Republic-focused show tomorrow. The series will focus on an investigation into a crime spree that pits a respected Jedi Master (Squid Game’s Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg, Bodies Bodies Bodies).
The Acolyte–which takes place at the end of the High Republic era or about 100 years before the Star Wars prequel movies–will be helmed by Russian Doll showrunner Leslye Headland.
“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,” reads a line from the show’s description. Star Wars released the first teaser poster for the show on Monday
