The Acolyte is here, but we've already got the scoop on the next Star Wars movies, TV shows, and cartoons - including the highly-anticipated (and highly mysterious) Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. And in case you need a refresher on the High Republic, the possibility of Yoda showing up in The Acolyte, or even the entire Star Wars timeline, we've got those too. Amd tell us your favorite Star Wars show here!

"In the age of light, a darkness rises," is the tagline for Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Acolyte on Disney+, and the darkness has already risen as the first two episodes debuted June 4. Beyond the question of what happened in the episode, the question on everyone's mind right now is: when should viewers expect the next episode of Star Wars: The Acolyte?

The as-yet-untitled Star Wars: The Acolyte season 1 episode 8 - the season finale - is scheduled to debut Tuesday, July 16 at 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific.

The Acolyte episode 8 is directed by Hanelle Culpepper (Star Trek: Picard), and written by CJason Micallef (Heathers).

All 8 episodes of Star Wars: The Acolyte season 1 air Tuesdays on Disney+.

Turn back the clock 100 years before the earliest Star Wars movie and enter the era of the Disney+ series The Acolyte. We have everything you need from guides on the cast, the episodes (and their release dates), it's not-for-kids rating, where it fits in the Star Wars timeline, how the show asks who 'deserves' to use the Force, as well as bigger picture things such as a complete Star Wars watch order, and a comprehensive guide to the Star Wars timeline, and all the upcoming Star Wars movies & TV shows on the horizon.
