‘The Acolyte’ Trailer Shatters Star Wars Records
Star Wars fans finally got a glimpse of the High Republic yesterday when the first trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series The Acolyte finally arrived.
The latest chapter in the Star Wars saga will be set roughly 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace when the Jedi Order was at the height of its power.
“An investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems,” the show’s synopsis reads.
A Record-Breaking Trailer
If the reception of the first trailer is any indication, excitement for The Acolyte is through the roof.
The trailer for the upcoming series attracted 5.3 million views in its first 24, a record for a digital-only trailer. That means that the clip of the upcoming series bested every trailer for The Book of Bobba Fett, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka, and The Mandalorian.
“We’re grateful for your support and can’t wait for you to experience the series,” Lucasfilm said in a statement.
In addition to releasing the show’s first trailer, Lucasfilm also announced that exclusive footage of The Acolyte will accompany The Phantom Menace when the film returns to theaters.
When Will ‘The Acolyte’ Premiere?
The Acolyte will officially arrive on June 4 exclusively on Disney+. I, for one, can’t wait! If you haven’t seen the show’s trailer yet, check it out now!
With the third season of The Bad Batch in full swing and The Acolyte on the horizon, it is a great time to be a Star Wars fan!
