When Does The Acolyte Take Place? New Series On The Star Wars Timeline
The premiere of The Acolyte, which takes us to a new times, is coming soon. When exactly is this Star Wars series set? We check it.
The Acolyte is a brand new TV series from the Star Wars universe, which will soon be seen on Disney+. This production is expected to show us a times not previously explored in live-action productions from the Star Wars universe, so it should be a certain breath of fresh air for fans who have been following the series for a long time. The Acolyte should also be a gateway for those who want to just start their Star Wars adventure, as you can treat this TV show as a separate production, for which you don't need to know any of the previous ones.
So, since we're about to see a whole new era that hasn't yet been shown in live-action productions, where is The Acolyte actually set in the Star Wars timeline? The story will be set 100 years before The Phantom Menace, in the time of the Great Republic. It was a golden era for the Jedi, who, although not part of the Galactic Republic, worked closely with it while continuing their fight for peace. The Jedi were spread throughout the Galaxy, operating from their many bases.
So, we'll find out what the Jedi were like back in the days when they were at the height of their powers and were open to the rest of the world. This will be something new, since most Star Wars live-action productions are set in a time when the ranks of the Jedi have been decimated and they are forced into hiding as the hunt for them continues.
The premiere of The Acolyte on Disney+ is scheduled for June 4. The Star Wars TV series is expected to consist of 8 episodes, which will be released weekly. You can watch the trailer below.
- “Sort of asinine, sort of cliched, sort of unnecessary.” Morgan Freeman refused to film The Shawshank Redemption scene he described as “overkill”
- It went unnoticed, but Simon Helberg from The Big Bang Theory 3 years earlier played almost the same role in the Friends universe
- “How could you do something so fun and be so miserable.” Tom Hardy hated making this movie and has no intention of starring in a similar one
- “The most irresponsible bit of filmmaking.” Harrison Ford really likes the movie Brad Pitt starred in just to avoid being sued
- “It seemed like a fun storyline.” Aarti Mann's character in The Big Bang Theory was so unpopular that she wasn't kept on the show for too long
