The Acolyte, one of the latest additions to the Star Wars universe, premiered on Disney+ in June 2024, captivating audiences with its fresh take on the beloved franchise. Set approximately 100 years before the events of "The Phantom Menace," the series dives into an era that fans have long been curious about: the twilight years of the High Republic and the mysterious rise of the Sith.
"The Acolyte" transports viewers to a time when the Galactic Republic is at its peak, and the Jedi Order is flourishing. However, this period of relative peace and prosperity is under threat from dark forces lurking in the shadows.
Unlike other Star Wars narratives that focus on the battle between the Jedi and the Sith, "The Acolyte" delves into the hidden machinations and sinister plots that set the stage for the eventual downfall of the Republic and the rise of the Sith.
The series centres on a former Jedi apprentice who turns to the dark side, becoming an acolyte of the Sith. This character, played by Amandla Stenberg, finds herself embroiled in a web of intrigue and danger as she uncovers secrets that could destabilise the galaxy.
The narrative follows her journey from disillusionment with the Jedi Order to her eventual embrace of the dark side, offering a nuanced exploration of her internal struggles and the external conflicts she faces.
Joining Stenberg is a diverse cast that includes Lee Jung-jae, known for his role in "Squid Game," who plays a former Jedi Master investigating a series of mysterious murders. His character's path crosses with Stenberg's, leading to a complex and gripping storyline filled with twists and moral ambiguities.
