The Acolyte, a new Star Wars prequel series on Disney+, attempts to explore the institutional failings of the Jedi but falls short in execution. Set a century before the rise of the Empire, the show focuses on twins Mae and Osha, with Mae seeking revenge on Jedi masters for a family tragedy. Despite some strong performances, the series struggles with uneven storytelling and underwhelming action sequences, making it more akin to The Book of Boba Fett than the critically acclaimed Andor.
The first official character posters for the upcoming Disney+ series "The Acolyte" have been released, featuring Jedi Master Sol, Jedi Master Indara, Padawan Jecki Lon, Mae the masked assassin, and Jedi Master Kelnacca. Set in the High Republic era, the series follows an investigation into a crime spree that pits a Jedi Master against a dangerous warrior from his past. The two-episode premiere is set for next week.
"Star Wars: The Acolyte" is set during the High Republic era and will feature a different type of "Star Wars" story, with a noir private investigator Jedi and shadowy Sith villains. The series is expected to bring an underrated storyline from "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones" full circle, providing fresh context to the prequels and making the eventual fall of the Jedi Order more poignant. The show is set to premiere on June 4, 2024, on Disney+.
The Season 1 finale of the series Ahsoka provides a clear way to reconcile the ending of The Rise of Skywalker without assuming Ahsoka Tano is a ghost. It is revealed that Ahsoka is still alive during the events of the sequel trilogy, but stranded in a distant galaxy. This explains why she didn't help combat the First Order and Kylo Ren. The possibility of Ahsoka meeting Rey in future projects is also hinted at.
A new Star Wars Jedi game is in development, as confirmed by Cameron Monaghan, the voice actor for Cal Kestis. The game will be the third installment in the series developed by Respawn Entertainment.

The previous entry, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, was well-received and improved upon its predecessor.
In the latest episode of "Ahsoka," Ahsoka finds herself trapped in the World Between Worlds and encounters a younger version of her former master, Anakin Skywalker. Anakin forces Ahsoka to fight him, but she ultimately chooses not to engage in battle. Through this experience, Ahsoka learns to reject Anakin's teachings and embrace a more zen-like approach to the Force. She later communicates with the Purrgil and embarks on a journey to find Ezra and Sabine. The episode received mixed reviews, with criticism directed towards its melodramatic moments and lackluster visuals.
The Disney+ series Ahsoka has potentially changed Star Wars history by revealing that there have been several Mandalorians who have become Jedi, contrary to previous beliefs. In the third episode, Ahsoka trains Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren to become a Jedi, despite her initial doubts. This revelation challenges the long-held belief that only one Mandalorian, Tarre Vizsla, had achieved Jedi status. The episode also hints at the complex relationship between Mandalorians and Jedi, as Mandalorians traditionally view Jedi as enemies. Ahsoka airs weekly on Disney+.
Ahsoka Tano's journey in the Star Wars universe has made her one of the most beloved characters. From her time as Anakin Skywalker's Padawan in The Clone Wars to her role in the Rebel Alliance in Rebels, Ahsoka has faced challenges, left the Jedi Order, dueled Darth Vader, and even survived through time and space. Now, with her own live-action series on the horizon, Ahsoka's story continues as she searches for Thrawn and Ezra, delving into the mysteries of the World Between Worlds and the evolution of the Empire into the First Order.

The Season 3 finale of The Mandalorian hints at an extensive training of Grogu by Luke Skywalker, not just to control his powers but also to use them ethically. Grogu's journey could see him become a Jedi Master and a Mandalorian, surviving for centuries after Din Djarin dies. This could lead to a walking, talking, Force-wielding Grogu in the next batch of Star Wars movie sequels, which would be the perfect marriage between the Mando-verse and the next generation of movies.
The Mandalorian's Season 3 finale sets up a new status quo for Din Djarin and Mandalore, paving the way for Season 4. The finale also provides clues for the upcoming Star Wars: Ahsoka series, with the Imperial Remnant stepping up its efforts to locate Grand Admiral Thrawn. The Ahsoka series may also explore the possibility of peace between the Mandalorians and the Jedi. The events of Season 3 could affect the course of the Star Wars franchise for years to come.
At Celebration 2023, Disney and Lucasfilm announced their plan for the future of Star Wars, which involves giving fans more of what they want, such as Rey, Jedi, and Thrawn. The new movies and shows announced focus on fan-favorite characters and concepts, without necessarily living up to the originals. The absence of a proper Episode X suggests that Disney is not looking to dramatically impact the canon of the series. The focus on streaming shows allowed Lucasfilm to recalibrate what it thinks people want out of this franchise.
