Fans of the Star Wars franchise are buzzing with excitement as the release date for the much-anticipated ‘Star Wars: Acolyte’ approaches. As reported by Collider on the 10th (local time), anticipation has been building ever since audiences got a glimpse of the first teaser at last year’s Star Wars Celebration in London. The new series will make its debut on Disney+ in the upcoming summer season.
‘Star Wars: Acolyte’ is set to take place half a century prior to the events of ‘Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace.’ The narrative revolves around a former Jedi Padawan and her ex-master as they delve into dark and mysterious crimes within a rapidly evolving galaxy.
The cast includes the talented Lee Jung-jae, celebrated for his role in ‘Squid Game,’ who will take on the role of a Jedi Master. Accompanying him is Jonas Suotamo, portraying a Wookiee Jedi named Kelnakara. The series will also feature Jodie Turner-Smith, Mani Sisinti, and Charlie Barnett, though specifics regarding their characters remain a closely-guarded secret.
Spanning eight episodes, ‘Star Wars: Acolyte’ is an intriguing amalgamation of genres, with producer Leslie Headland likening it to a mix between the enchanting elements of ‘Frozen’ and the action-packed energy of ‘Kill Bill’.
