Star Wars Has Assembled An Impressive Team For Its High Republic Show 
Surprisingly little is still known about Star Wars: The Acolyte, which promises to be a mystery-thriller in which Jedi discover the rising darkness that will eventually consume the galaxy. This sense of mystery just makes it all the more intriguing, not least because it will feature more live-action Jedi than any previous live-action Star Wars TV show as the light and dark clash. Hopefully it won't be long before Lucasilm drop the trailer they aired at Star Wars Celebration, giving all viewers a chance to appreciate The Acolyte's beauty and creativity.
