Could The Acolyte Finally Feature a Legendary Star Wars Sith Lord?
Although there have been plenty of Star Wars entries within the past year, including The Mandalorian Season 3, Ahsoka, The Bad Batch Season 3, and Tales of the Empire, the newest Disney+ series, The Acolyte feels like one of the biggest “event” programs for the series in a long time. Unlike the other entries in the franchise, this will not occur between the Skywalker Saga events but instead will take place 100 years before the first film, Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. The Acolyte will take place during the High Republic era, a new era of the franchise that began in 2021 as a publication line that included novels and comics.
