Show notes

Join the Watch as we breakdown everything you prepare for the upcoming Star Wars live action television show, The Acolyte. Alex dives deep into what happened between Light of the Jedi and The Rising Storm. The Sith and what they were up to at the time, their influence on the events, ancient Force artifacts, and more.

If you're seeking more context for The Acolyte, this episode is for you. While the books won't be required knowledge, it is fun to learn what happened about one hundred years before the show and speculate on how it impacts Star Wars and The Acolyte.

When The Acolyte premieres, be sure to join us for detailed scene by scene breakdowns, speculation, and fun along the way.
