 The success of The Mandalorian has led to more Star Wars television series hoping to expand on George Lucas’ empire. The latest series, The Acolyte, is another win for them much like Ahsoka and Andor. The Acolyte opens with a new take on the legendary scroll that sets the scene. The story is set 100 years before the birth of the empire. It’s a time of peace in the galaxy. There are a few powerful individuals who have learned how to use the Force. Now there’s one lone assassin who seeks revenge. The opening scene features Carrie-Ann Moss as Jedi Master Indara who is killed by a former young Jedi identified as Osha. She’s played by Amandla Stenberg. Osha’s whereabouts are mysterious as she jumps from ship to ship. She’s quickly found but claims her innocence. Her former Jedi trainer, Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae), doesn’t believe she would be capable of something like this. Master Sol quickly learns the truth of whose really behind this killing and learns he’s one of the four targeted Jedi Masters. Streaming June 4th on Disney+
