The Acolyte is shaping up to be one of the most interesting entries into the Star Wars universe in years. Set more than a century before the events of the films with a cast that includes Carrie-Anne Moss playing, according to the showrunner, “Trinity with a lightsaber,” there is so much that sets this show apart from other recent Disney+ Star Wars shows. We’re all just waiting impatiently for The Acolyte episodes to drop this summer.

While most of the show’s plot is still heavily under wraps, we at least know how many episodes of The Acolyte there will be and when they’re all coming out. The first two episodes of The Acolyte will air on Disney+ on June 4, 2024, with new episodes airing every week after that.

The first season of The Acolyte will have eight episodes in total, but we still don’t know what those episodes will be titled. Presumably, to keep the plot from leaking, Lucasfilm hasn’t disclosed that information just yet. If the show is anything like many streaming series, we won’t find out what the episode titles are until it goes live on Disney+.

Star Wars: The Acolyte is set to premiere on June 4, 2024 on Disney+ and follows a respected Jedi Master as he tracks down a dangerous figure from his past following a deadly crime spree. It takes place near the end of the High Republic era of the Star Wars timeline, an age where the Jedi were at the peak of their powers and the Republic’s reach was growing across the galaxy.
