Details are still being kept under wraps, but we know that The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller set in the High Republic era, about 100 years before the prequels.

In the Star Wars universe, an "acolyte" is an individual who possesses the ability to u꧋se the Force and train under a highly experienced Sith Lord.

Leslye Headland, co-creator of Netflix's Russian Doll, is set to serve as showrunner and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:spoke briefly about the plot in an interview with .

"We're taking a look at the political and personal and spiriไtual things that came up in a time period that we don't know much about," Headland explained. "My question when watching The Phantom Menace was always like, 'Well, how did things get to this point?' How did we get to a point where a Sith lord can infiltrate the Senate and none 𓆏of the Jedi pick up on it? Like, what went wrong? What are the scenarios that led us to this moment?"
