Tag Archives: The Acolyte (Disney+ Series)

After reporting pointless day 1 numbers for the first episode of The Acolyte (because they never did so for anything before), Disney released 5-day numbers last night, just like they did for Ahsoka. And the first episode of The Acolyte had 11.1 million views worldwide, according to Disney. Which makes it the second least watched Star Wars series premiere on Disney+. Click through for more!

Fandom lovingy dubbed this guy “Order 66 Chicken McNuggets”. At least his name is not “Porkins”…

The Acolyte… much was talked about this show before. Some delusional idiot claimed it’s not even a real project and that it will never be released… others read what showrunner Headland and various actors have to say and were somewhat suspicious of what on Earth they will make. But the wait is over and we have the first two episodes of The Acolyte. So what’s it like? I will say this: “Boring” & “Stupid”.  Whereas even bad Obi-Wan Kenobi and bad The Book of Boba Fett episodes at least had some charm and likable characters. Also, if you like the Jedi you should probably watch something else. Headland was not kidding when she said her show won’t be kind to the Jedi. If you want to know more or discuss the first two episodes click here or on the banner for my review of the first two episodes.

This happens 5 minutes into the show… so not even a spoiler really

Well, that was a very pleasant surprise and probably the best Hasbro Star Wars livestream in literal ages! Not just when it comes to the number of reveals, but also the presentation felt much more alive this time, less scripted, less teleprompter reading and actually, just like five people having fun with the reveals… Anyway, much to my own surprise Hasbro revealed a ton of The Acolyte figures, which will all be released in Fall 2024!

• Jedi Master Sol
• Padawan Jecki Lon
• Jedi Knight Yord Fandar
• Jedi Master Indara
• Mae (Assassin)

ALL figures come with their robes and each has a unique lightsaber! Only Mae comes with various knives/daggers instead, but she too has her purple cloak. All the figures are mainline items in the US and Fan Channel / Amazon / Pulse items in Europe and everything revealed today will be available for pre-order on March 21st at 1 pm ET!

On top of that a new Darth Maul holocomm figure was revealed as well and there will also be a new Moff Gideon roleplay helmet

There are also quite a few exciting pipeline reveals! Stay tuned for the update coming very soon with all the photos and some discussion!

Full Story

The Official Star Wars Social Media team has released the teaser poster for The Acolyte, and hinted the trailer debut is set for tomorrow. The poster reveals The Acolyte will premiere on June 4th.

Collider has learned that the tentative release date for The Acolyte is June 5th 2024. This would be about a month after the 3rd and final season of The Bad Batch concludes. We have yet to see an official trailer for the show, because the footage shown at Celebration in 2023 was never officially released to the public, only leaked videos with very bad quality exist. So I wonder when the marketing and promo work will begin if the series is really coming to Disney+ in just a little over three months from now. I would expect Lucasfilm and Disney trying to ramp up hype soon. Click through for more!

As usual Star Wars Celebration also revealed several things not meant for the vast number of fans out there who could not afford a ticket or the trip to London! But as usual very kind people do post the spoiler material on Reddit and other places! So let’s talk about the Acolyte trailer that was screened at Celebration and the first few minutes of The Mandalorian Chapter 23 screened at one of the panels that heralds the return of a very important character and name drops someone very important. A first glimpse at Skeleton Crew was also provided! And we also got a short Andor season 2 teaser! Only read this article if you like spoilers! You will be absolutely spoiled if you click! So only proceed if you want to know more!

Updated with some additional info, Skeleton Crew trailer also added!

Not all that much is known yet about The Acolyte. The lead star Amandla Stenberg was announced previously, several leaks and rumours revealed several other cast members, and today Lucasfilm officially revealed who will be the main stars in the upcoming series. Click through to find out who the main cast is!

Full Story

The Acolyte is one of the many Disney+ Star Wars series announced a while back. Back then it was labeled as a “female-centric” Star Wars series set in the final days of the High Republic era. Pre-preduction for the series is ongoing and now Variety reports that the lead actress for the series by showrunner Leslye Headland has been found. The yet unnamed “Acolyte” will be played by Amandla Stenberg, 23. Stenberg, who according to Variety identifies as non-binary, has some tv and movie experience. Her genre experience to date is a role in Sleepy Hollow and in The Hunger Games when she was still a teenager, other than that Stenberg starred in several tv shows and a handful of movies. She played alongside co-stars such as Anthony Mackie, Gwendoline Christie and Christopher Ecclestone.
Tentative release date for The Acolyte is 2023. Are you interested in this High Republic series about what could be a Sith apprentice?

Cast as the titular “Acolyte”: Amandla Stenberg

Probably one of the more intriguing new show announcements is The Acolyte. Not much is known other than this quote:

The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.
