Star Wars: The Acolyte Gets Rave First Reactions

The new Star Wars Disney+ series starring Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae debuts June 4.

Live-action Star Wars is back in a big, big way. Thursday night, Lucasfilm and Disney held their big premiere for Star Wars : The Acolyte , the latest Disney + show set in a galaxy far, far away and, so far, it sounds like people really, really like it. io9 was lucky enough to snag a seat at the Los Angeles event and watch the first two episodes of the eight-episode series. And, well, we loved it.

Beyond that, you’re presented with a very simple, very accessible, character-driven almost crime procedural about a Jedi Master who tracks down his old apprentice because she may, or may not, have murdered a fellow Jedi. No one is good, no one is bad, anyone can live, anyone can die, it’s just a cool story anyone can jump right into. There’s obviously much, much more than that but that’s the basic episode one set up.
