Good news for Padwans everywhere – the next live-action Star Wars project could be releasing onDisneyPlus very soon.
A fresh report fromColliderindicates that The Acolyte, a new series that will be set in the High Republic era, will arrive this June 5. Now, this date hasn’t been confirmed byLucasfilmor Disney, so take it with a grain of salt for the moment.
The Acolyte follows a Jedi and her former Master investigating a series of crimes, which leads them to encountering sinister forces. The cast is absolutely stacked, featuring the likes of Carrie-Anne Moss, Amandla Stenberg, Joonas Suotamo, Dafne Keen, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae.
The show will bring the High Republic to live-action for the very first time, and, according to Keene, it will also be Star Wars’s first"Sith-Led"project. There’s plenty to be looking forward to, then.
The Acolyte isn’t the only Star Wars project coming this year, either. The Bad Batch season 3 is currently dropping weekly, while there’s also Skeleton Crew, set to be an Amblin-esque show starring Jude Law, and Tales of the Jedi season 2 on the way.
