May the Fourth was this weekend, and to celebrate the occasion, Disney released another trailer for Star Wars: The Acolyte, the upcoming series set in the time of the High Republic, which was hundreds of years before the events of the first Star Wars prequel, The Phantom Menace.
The almost-two-minute clip is the same length as the first Star Wars: The Acolyte trailer we got, and it gives us more of Jedi Master Sol (Squid Game’s Lee Jung-jae) as he looks to bring in a former student (Amandla Stenberg) who now thinks the Jedi’s proposed claim to maintain peace is a lie.
Here’s the official logline for the show:
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….
Leslye Headland (Russian Doll) created the series and is an executive producer along with Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micalle. In addition to Jung-jae and Stenbrerg, the series stars Carrie-Anne Moss, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, and Jodie Turner-Smith.
Star Wars: The Acolyte premieres on Disney+ on June 4, 2024 with two episodes, which Headland directed. Subsequent episodes will release weekly.
Check out the trailer below.
