Lucasfilm and Disney+ unveiled a new trailer for The Acolyte in honor of May the 4th. No one is safe from the truth!
We are just a month away from the premiere of THE ACOLYTE, and Lucasfilm is in a celebratory mood. The studio has released an all-new trailer for the limited series, which will premiere on June 4th. The trailer has been released in tandem with the May the 4th festivities and takes us back to a bygone era when the Jedi were at the height of their powers. However, something is stirring in the darkness, and a dark disciple will soon emerge to cause chaos. Check out the trailer below.
SYNOPSIS
In The Acolyte, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems….
CAST & CREATIVES
The series stars Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, and Carrie-Anne Moss.
The Acolyte comes from creator and showrunner Leslye Headland (Russian Doll), who also serves as executive producer alongside Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micallef. Charmaine DeGraté and Kor Adana are the co-executive producers, and Rayne Roberts and Damian Anderson are producing.
NEW POSTER
In addition to the first trailer, Lucasfilm has shared a brand new poster for the series. Check it out below.
RELEASE
Lucasfilm has confirmed that Michael Abels will compose the score for an upcoming project. Abels has gained recognition in recent years for his impressive scores for blockbusters such as Jordan Peele’s Get Out and Nope. However, this will be his first time composing for the Star Wars franchise. Abels’ recent appointment makes him one of the few composers who have ventured into the sound of the Star Wars universe. After John Williams, only John Powell, Michael Giacchino, Joseph Shirley, Natalie Holt, Nicholas Britell, Kevin Kiner, and Ludwig Göransson composed music for live-action Star Wars productions. Therefore, Abels is now among the few composers who uphold the traditions of the iconic saga.
Whether the composer can hit the ground running and deliver a groundbreaking score remains to be seen. But judging by his recent successes, who would bet against him? Additionally, with incredible talent in front of and behind the camera, The Acolyte promises to be an unforgettable addition to Star Wars lore. Leslye Headland, the series creator, has eight thrilling episodes to blow our minds. We’re here for it, one hundred percent.
The Acolyte premiers with a two-episode launch event on Disney Plus on June 4th.
