The Acolyte is set during the High Republic era and the prime of the Jedi Order. But trouble is brewing for the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.
In The Acolyte, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems….
