With the galaxy in a time of prosperity, the Sith are outnumbered and living at the margins. In this gilded-age, the Jedi rule over a peaceful galaxy and still it seems that something lurks in the corners. The Acolyte follows the story of an ardent devotee at a time when the dark side is an underground countercultural force. Leading up to the events that see the reemergence of the Sith, The Acolyte shows the beginning of that journey from obscurity to the central force that rules the galaxy. Reuniting a padwan with their Jedi master, the pair are put forward for an investigation into a series of crimes.
