Disney Plus has released 'The Acolyte,' a new Star Wars series set in The High Republic era, premiering with two episodes on June 4th.

The show follows Jedi Master Sol investigating a murder spree threatening the Jedi Order, alongside his former student Osha.

Key characters introduced include Jedi Master Indara, Padawan Jecki Lon, and Jedi Knight Yord Fandar.

A mysterious assassin named Mae, revealed to have a twin sister named Osha, plays a pivotal role in the story.

Mae is manipulated by a mysterious figure to kill Jedi Masters without using a lightsaber, while Osha is pursued by Sol and other Jedi.

The Acolyte explores the history of the Sith and the Dark Side of the Force, potentially introducing Darth Plagueis.

The show is highly anticipated by fans and promises action-packed adventures in the Disney+ Star Wars lineup.

The release schedule includes weekly episodes, with the first five airing on consecutive Tuesdays, ending on July 16.

Despite criticism for clunky story beats and cliched villain arcs, the series aims to develop more complex and engaging villains to drive the narrative.
