The new Disney+ series The Acolyte is set hundreds of years before the events of the Skywalker era, in a golden period of the galaxy, which until now had remained unexplored in the cinematic and television adaptations of the saga.
As we see in the newly released trailer, we find ourselves at a time when the galaxy is at its peak of splendor. The Jedi Order is at its apex, ensuring peace and justice and teaching new generations to follow the path of the Force.
However, this time of peace is threatened by the emergence of dark forces seeking to alter the balance.

What they discover is a path that will lead them to confront hidden truths and an enemy that emerges from the shadows.
