Star Wars enthusiasts, the wait is over! The highly-anticipated saga, The Acolyte, has launched on Disney+. Brimming with dark-side secrets and stunning visuals, it offers a fresh perspective on the Galactic universe.
Star Wars fans around the world are in for a treat. The much-anticipated and completely new saga, The Acolyte landed on Disney+ on 4 June, taking us back to the golden age of the Jedi Order during the High Republic era.
Played by Amandla Stenberg, we meet Osha, a former Padawan who reunites with her Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) to tackle a thrilling mystery.
Described as a “mystery-thriller,” the series delves into “a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers,” according to Lucasfilm and it looks to be a move in the right direction and away from the Skywalker saga some of us have become wary of.
Early reviews praise the show’s stunning visuals and fresh perspective on the Star Wars universe. The Guardian’s Graeme Virtue suggests: “The Acolyte benefits from being a fresh start for the creators and the audience alike, with no homework required.”
But some reviewers have noted a strange mix up in the initial episodes, but remain optimistic about the overall story arc. Kelly Lawler from USA Today thinks it “Full of logical fallacies, hokey dialogue and nonsensical plots”… harsh words but you’ll have to watch it for yourself.
A new era of Star Wars has arrived.
