Every Star Wars Movie & TV Show In The Works Right Now
4. The Acolyte
It looks like The Acolyte will now be the next Disney Star Wars TV series to land on their streaming service in the coming months, with this High Republic era story's first trailer being released recently.
Despite wrapping six months after the aforementioned Skeleton Crew, The Acolyte has been given an official release date earlier, with the series set around 100 years before Episode I - The Phantom Menace arriving on Disney+ with a two-episode premiere on June 4.
The show will focus on a rather disturbing crime spree, with the investigation into it leading to Lee Jung-jae's respected Jedi Master Sol coming up against "a dangerous warrior from his past" played by Amandla Stenberg (via Disney).
The first look at the series in that trailer shows these High Republic Jedi colliding with dark forces - one of which wields a red lightsaber often used by the Sith - Carrie-Anne Moss' Jedi Master Indara effortlessly fending off a foe with the Force, and the Order dealing with a Jedi killer.
This will be the first time this particular Star Wars era is explored in live-action, and looks set to be a frequently shocking and rather dark dive into the final days of the High Republic.
