Star Wars Expands Disney+ Library with New Series

'The Acolyte' Premieres, Exploring Star Wars Timeline

Acolyte Predecessor of Clone Wars and Rise of the Empire

The Star Wars universe continues to expand on Disney+, as the latest series, 'The Acolyte', premiered on Sunday night. Unlike previous shows, 'The Acolyte' dives into a previously unexplored era, the High Republic, set a century before the events of the prequel trilogy.

The series follows a former Padawan and her Jedi Master as they investigate a series of crimes, encountering a dangerous warrior from the Master's past. The show's creators have hinted at a "Rashomon-like" quality, where multiple perspectives unfold the story.
