Predating the events of "The Phantom Menace" by around 100 years, new Star Wars spin-off "The Acolyte" is showing audiences what life was like long before Anakin, Luke, Leia, Chewie and Han turned up in that famous galaxy far, far away. You can watch "The Acolyte" on Disney Plus around the world.
"The Acolyte" premiered on Disney Plus on Tuesday, June 4.
► Time: 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT / 2 a.m. BST (Wed) / 11 a.m. AEST (Wed)
► New episodes: Tuesdays in North America
• Global stream — Disney+
Hot off the heels of "Ahsoka", "The Acolyte" is taking us back to the High Republic era, a time when the Jedi Order were at the peak of their powers. There we find Jedi Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae of "Squid Game") investigating a series of crimes that lead him back to his own protégé, Mae (Amandla Stenberg). This former Padawan is now a warrior in her own right, but is she friend or foe?
Perhaps the most eye-catching detail of the "The Acolyte" trailer was Carrie-Anne Moss — a.k.a. Trinity from "The Matrix" — wielding a lightsaber as Jedi Master Indara. In terms of cool factor, it's probably up there with Darth Maul's double-bladed weapon in "The Phantom Menace".
