Stars of Squid Game and The Matrix are heading to a galaxy far, far away
Star Wars fans have been eating well in recent years, as it feels like a new project set in a galaxy far, far away is announced every month. As the critically acclaimed Andor nears its conclusion, and season three of The Mandalorian is just over three months away, Disney+ has confirmed the cast for its next highly-anticipated project.
Plot details for the show are being kept tightly under wraps, but its official description teases “a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.” In The Acolyte, “a former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.
The High Republic era began around 300 years prior to Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, during a time of relative peace throughout the galaxy before the Sith reemerged and caused the Jedi’s violent downfall. It is an era of Star Wars lore yet to be represented on screen, having previously been explored in a series of comics and novels.
Production has begun on “The Acolyte,” an upcoming Original @StarWars series from @Lucasfilm coming to @DisneyPlus. pic.twitter.com/VZ32p0c6mc As with the show’s plot details, it is yet to be confirmed who these actors will be playing, or exactly when the series will be released. Reactions to this latest announcement have been positive, with many fans taking to social media to share their anticipation.
