During the final days of the High Republic Era, the influence of the dark side is intensifying. Despite the galaxy's period of prosperity, the Sith find themselves outnumbered and marginalized. In this opulent era set 100 years prior to the events of 1999’s The Phantom Menace, the Jedi govern a tranquil galaxy, yet an enigmatic presence seems to hide in the shadows. The Acolyte follows a Jedi Master who join forces with a mysterious and powerful warrior from his past; the duo is ultimately chosen to investigate a series of heinous crimes.
