There’s a lot going on here in this first look at The Acolyte, even if it is regularly shrouded in mystery. We don’t know enough about this period of Star Wars or these characters yet to really know what’s going on—and that’s arguably a very good thing, considering how much Star Wars usually plays with familiarity in the form of characters and places and stories we know over and over. Time will tell just how much weight there is behind that promise though, as we draw closer and closer to The Acolyte’s debut on Disney+ on June 4.
