The Acolyte, the next Star Wars show set to be released, has already given audiences plenty to be excited about. The Acolyte is set to change quite a bit about the typical Star Wars formula, starting off with its setting in the Star Wars timeline. Since The Acolyte is set in the High Republic era, it presents a completely new story, and the first time live-action Star Wars has ever departed from the Skywalker saga. The confirmed details about The Acolyte released so far have further indicated that it will be a new take on the franchise, but that’s not the only reason to be excited.
