The Acolyte: A New Star Wars Series Set 100 Years Before The Phantom Menace
Disney+ Premiere and Setting
The highly anticipated Star Wars series, The Acolyte, is set to premiere on Disney+ on June 4. The show takes place 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace and delves into a dark period in the galaxy's history known as "The High Republic Era."
Exploring the High Republic Era
The Acolyte follows a former Padawan and her Jedi Master as they investigate a series of crimes that threaten to upset the balance of the Force. The series will explore the rise of the dark side and the events that led to the eventual downfall of the Jedi Order.
Timeline Placement
The Acolyte is set during a relatively unexplored period of the Star Wars timeline, roughly 119 years before the Battle of Yavin. This places it within the "High Republic Era," which is known for its prosperity and the presence of numerous Jedi.
