The promotional campaign for Star Wars: The Acolyte is reaching its peak. The series will debut on June 4th, and Lucasfilm is ramping up its efforts to get us excited for our return to the galaxy far, far away. After last night’s UK premiere, the studio has shared a fun new behind-the-scenes feature. In the video, the cast of the new series reflects on the legacy of Star Wars and what the saga means to them. So, without further ado, get your lightsabers ready and play the video 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.
RELEASE
With its incredible array of talent, 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. We were fortunate enough to attend the UK Premiere of the series and were treated to our first look at the opening two episodes.
In his first impressions, our Editor Phil Roberts said: “The Acolyte is off to a promising start. Under the expert guidance of Leslye Headland, the series explores the lore of the Jedi with aplomb. The visuals are stunning, and the fight scenes are incredibly well-choreographed. The result is a rich and rewarding Star Wars series that delivers.” The High Republic is an incredibly rich sandbox in which to play. We cannot wait to see where the series will take us. Be sure to check back for Phil’s full review.
The Acolyte premiers with a two-episode launch event on Disney Plus on June 4th.
