New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming - Star Wars: The Acolyte - Season One

The Acolyte (also known as Star Wars: The Acolyte) could be the worst of the Star Wars franchise thus far.

The Acolyte started streaming on Disney+ early June, with its first two episodes. The following six episodes were released weekly.

Part of the Star Wars franchise, set at the end of the High Republic era before the events of the Skywalker Saga, and follows a Jedi investigation into a series of crimes.

Starring an all-star cast, Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Charlie Barnett, Dafne Keen, Rebecca Henderson, Jodie Turner-Smith, Carrie-Anne Moss, Manny Jacinto, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, Margarita Levieva, Lauren Brady, Leah Brady, and Harry Trevaldwyn.

The Acolyte is set at the end of the Star Wars franchise's High Republic era, approximately 100 years before 1999's Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Seeing a respected Jedi Master investigating a series of crimes that bring him into contact with a former Padawan learner and reveal sinister forces.

SPOILER ALERTS! Osha has a vision of apparently Mae killing Sol without using weapons and they head out to find them while being watched by Darth Plagueis. 

On the ship, Mae breaks free and escapes to Brendok in a capsule while she is followed by Sol; Mae crashes on the planet. Vernestra gathers a group of Jedi to head to Brendok. 

On Brendok, Sol, Qimir and Osha begin searching for Mae. Inside the fortress, Sol and Qimir begin to fight as do Osha and Mae. Mae arrives and disarms Sol, but chooses to let him live so he can confess before the Council; Sol reveals that she and Osha are the same person. 

Learning that Sol killed her mother, Osha chokes Sol to death with the Force and corrupts the Kyber crystal in Sol's lightsaber; Osha and Mae escape together. Upon arriving, Vernestra discovers Sol's corpse. Osha and Mae reconcile when they are found by Qimir; Osha agrees to train with him if he lets Mae go by erasing her memory. 

On Coruscant, Vernestra blames Sol for all the events that occurred on Brendok; Vernestra reveals that Qimir was her apprentice. 

Vernestra visits Yoda to tell him everything.

YODA is back baby! However not even Yoda can save this train wreck. As a Star Wars fan from a very young age, these new series are really getting more and more average.

Seriously give this one a miss.

Tomorrow, a real treat from Disney+, Under the Bridge! See you then!
