Star Wars: The Acolyte First Look Review
A Fresh Quadrant of the Galaxy
The latest Star Wars TV series released its first two episodes this week, and the first reviews are in. The Acolyte explores a fresh quadrant of that galaxy, jumping back a century to create a new era of storytelling set during the High Republic.
A Prequel to the Prequels
Set a century before the collapse of the Republic, The Acolyte is a kind of prequel to George Lucas' prequels. It tells the story of the rise of the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis and his apprentice, Darth Sidious.
The series stars Amandla Stenberg as a young acolyte named Aura, who is tasked with investigating a series of murders that may be connected to the Sith. As she delves deeper into her investigation, she uncovers a dark secret that could threaten the entire galaxy.
The first two episodes of The Acolyte are promising. The series has a strong cast, a compelling story, and stunning visuals. It's a must-watch for any Star Wars fan.
The Acolyte premieres on Disney+ on June 4, 2022.
