Summary

The new teaser forThe Acolyteprovided one of the first official look into the new show , and it also gave anofficial liberation appointment forThe Acolyte . antecedently , all that was known aboutThe Acolytewas its cast and characters , as well as a few story details , but the newfangled poster reveals quite a flake more about what ’s in store .
The Acolyteis set duringthe High Republic eraofStar Wars , a time when the Jedi Order was in its out-and-out heyday . The Order had K of Jedi and outposts across the coltsfoot , andthe Sith had been thought extinct for millennia , though they had been hiding in the shadows the whole time . According toThe Acolyte ’s official plot synopsis , it will focus on a Jedi Master and " a dangerous warrior from his past . " That setup alone paints a grim motion-picture show , but the teaser image had a few hidden details that suggestThe Acolytecould takeStar Warsin its darkest direction ever .
The coming Star Wars show The Acolyte will take the franchise into the grand High Republic era , but what mysteries expect in the Jedi ’s golden old age ?
This Promises To Be The Darkest Star Wars TV Show To Date
The Acolytehas long promised to be a dark installation in the largerStar Warsstory , but the new teaser post-horse proves it will be even more ill than antecedently thought . The poster features a lightsaber cover in blood , with even more trailing out of its emitter . The range is reminiscent of a red lightsaber used by the Sith , but the usance of existent blood is almost unheard of forStar Wars . There have been example where roue was shown on - silver screen , but for the most part , the franchise has institute way of life to work around show it .
The Acolyteis jell to premier on June 4 , 2024 on Disney+ , with a preview expect to eject on March 19 .
The teaser placard forThe Acolyteshows thatStar Warsis no longer debar the inclusion of blood , and a lot of it at that . The amount of blood on the poster hints thatThe Acolytewill not shy away from violence , and that it could be dark than anythingStar Warshas done yet . Star Warshas its sightly portion of glowering moments , but they are usually used periodically to show the horrifying nature of the dour side . The Acolytecould take that dark flavour and lend oneself it to the total show , which would be an unprecedented decision that has huge implications for the Jedi Order .
Have The Sith Actually Infiltrated The Jedi Order?
The lightsaber featured in the teaser poster also incorporates a few elusive ocular storytelling element . Gold has long been associated with the Jedi of the High Republic due to the period of time of proportional peace and prosperity they savour , and Bolshevik is a classic Sith color . The vexer poster shows red blood encroaching on and covering up the golden emitter on the lightsaber . This could be a hint at the Sith ’s role inThe Acolyte , as they could be trying to come off away at the Jedi and weaken their powerfulness over the beetleweed forrader of Palpatine ’s plan to totally ruin them .
The bill poster ’s colors also indicate that Amandla Stenberg ’s dark side drug user could infiltrate the Jedi Order . The red is layer on top of the gold , but it does n’t completely cut across it , and the two color be at the same time on the same lightsaber . That could imply that the room the Sith survived for so long undetected was by working against the Jedi from within . The Acolytehas long been compare to a secret thriller , and if the Jedi in the show are task with find a secret Sith infiltrator , it would make those comparison make sense .
“Bleeding” A Lightsaber Has A Very Dark Meaning In Star Wars Lore
InStar Warslore , all lightsabers are powered by kyber crystals , but none of those crystals begin as a red colour . For the Sith ’s favorite colour of lightsaber to be possible , they need to " shed blood " the kyber quartz glass . Kyber crystal bleeding is a very dark summons , as it requires a Sith to pour all of their negative emotion - hatred , enviousness , and pride , for example - into the vitreous silica . Sincekyber crystals are technically alive , they begin to phlebotomize and turn red from the great power of the glowering side emotions . The entire outgrowth casts a pall onThe Acolyte .
In a similarly malefic fashion , most Sith acquire their crystal by defeat a Jedi and taking theirs in an ancient Sith custom . SinceThe Acolyteis implicated with the reemergence of Sith powers for the first clip in century , it stand to reason Stenberg ’s lineament could have to kill a Jedi and bleed a kyber crystal to become a true Sith . The teaser poster could be an artistic representation of that process , or it could be a much more literal video display of the bell the glowering side charter on its drug user , their dupe , and the survivor who have to deal with the fallout .
The Lightsaber In The Acolyte Poster Is Very Similar To Yoda’s
The annoyer placard also holds a clue as to who those subsister could be . The emitter of the post-horse ’s lightsaber is highly similar to that of Yoda ’s , though it is clear that the two are only interchangeable and not the same due to the spot of the black rectangle on the hold . Still , that could be a visual hint that Yoda is much more involved inThe Acolytethan previously thought . In Jedi custom , Padawans often simulate their own lightsaber after their original ’s . Yoda has a foresightful history of training Padawans into Knights , and one of his former students could be the focus of the kyber crystal hemorrhage summons - on either side .
Some of Yoda ’s most notable Padawans from the Skywalker saga had truly tragic fates , and that drift could have been set out during the High Republic . During the Skywalker saga , Yoda trained Count Dooku , a Jedi who hang to the dark side . Dooku then trained Qui - Gon Jinn , who trained Obi - Wan Kenobi , who lastly trained Anakin Skywalker . That lineage of Padawans establishes a lineal , and tragic , line between Yoda and the death of the Jedi Order . If another of Yoda ’s Padawans , or their Padawan , is the Sith power ofThe Acolyte , it would be extremely meet to the destiny of his students in the Skywalker saga .
The tormentor poster has show to be a treasure treasure trove of hints about the forthcoming show , but more wo n’t be known for certain until the release ofThe Acolyte ’s trailer . Luckily , audience wo n’t have to wait long , as the trailer is set to premiere tomorrow , with the entire show follow just months after . The recent announcement and news program aboutThe Acolytemean now is an awesome time to be involve inStar Wars , and that the hereafter is only getting more exciting with each passing day .
