The Acolyte Season 1 Review

‘The Acolyte’ spins a powerful, nuanced story of sisterhood. The new offering is set 100 years before the Skywalker saga, and gives a fresh look at the ‘Star Wars’ universe with a variety of interesting characters. Landing on Disney+ on June 4th with its first two episodes, ‘The Acolyte’ sees ‘Russian Doll’ co-creator and showrunner Leslye Headland given the chance to put her own stamp on that galaxy far, far away.

And based on the initial episodes provided to press, has come up with something that hews more towards the nuance of ‘Andor’ than some of the recent bloated mythology powering small-screen ‘Star Wars’.
