A new poster has been released for The Acolyte ahead of a trailer being released for the new Star Wars series tomorrow. The Acolyte is set during the High Republic era, which finds the Jedi Order in its prime. However, looking at the teaser image that was released today, not everything is as perfect as it seems. The image shows a lightsaber on the ground with blood spilled above it.
The new teaser image also came with other news about the Disney+ series. The Acolyte will be arriving on Disney’s streaming service on June 4, 2024.
