Featurette Released About Jedi Master Sol Ahead of Arrival of ‘The Acolyte’ on Disney+

The Acolyte will be arriving on Disney+ on June 4, 2024. When it does, there will be a mystery to be solved. Somebody is killing Jedi. This is the Jedi in an era that hasn’t been explored on screen before. It’s about 100 years before Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. This is the height of the Jedi…. until this dark new threat appears. One of the Jedi in this era is named Sol. A new featurette has been released about Sol. His official description is as follows:

Master Sol is a wise, highly respected, powerful Jedi Master, strong in the ways of the Force, who is going through emotional conflict.

This description is fairly short, the featurette is longer. It gives a behind-the-scenes look at the Jedi Master. Watch the featurette here:
