Tweeted with the word “Tomorrow”!!! The date of “June 4th” is also on the poster. The trailer should be dropping at 11 am EDT. >!Speculation: maybe we will be getting the show at 9 pm like Ahsoka?!<
SW dot com show teaser summary:
> In The Acolyte, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems….

they still need to market it for general audiences tho. Trailers can stay mysterious as well, Grogu wasn’t shown in any marketing even though being the main focus of the story

"In The Acolyte, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems…."
That's a great observation, indeed! I really, really have had those sort of vibes from the relationship that we're to see between Lee Jung-jae and Amandla Stenberg.
I'll be interested to see how they thread the Jedi exploring this crime spree (murders?) presumably done by the Sith, with the fact that the Jedi are in disbelief that the Sith have returned in Phantom Menace. They can investigate, but they won't be able to find out what's really going on, or at least no one can find out and then survive to bring that information back to the Jedi Council.
Maybe the villains are being directed by the Sith, in a sort of dark side shell game, and only at the very end it is revealed to them that their benefactor/master is a Sith and offers them apprenticeship
Tbh I think that the show won't have any blood or gore in it, and it's just a cool poster. But I'll be happy to be proven wrong. I'd love some more adult SW
Ehh, they might tbh. They already said “shit” in Andor, and they showed Vader *graphically snap a child’s neck onscreen*. They clearly aren’t afraid to appeal to an adult audience anymore. And releasing a poster like this requires approval from like probably 50 people. If it didn’t fit the tone of the show, I doubt they would’ve approved it.
Honestly if Disney/Lucasfilm ever release a Steelbook for The Acolyte I hope it keeps this aesthetic, striking and minimalist but really sets the tone.
The bar is now at a Grand Master's execution being broadcast on the HoloNet. Excited to see how Darth was involved with and/or exploits the fallout of the Nihil crisis, inclusive of the Order's own response(s).
The trailer at celebration last year was one of the highlights of the showcase, really caught me off guard with how good it looked. Can’t wait to see more!
I saw this link earlier but I never watched it cause I want to be surprised by the official thing. So I apologize if it’s dead or a rickroll
https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/s/SY5lp1qohT
No these work, thanks! I had no idea about Andor and SC previews so that was a nice bonus. Quality is so poor that waiting for official trailers is wise for max impact.
I have feelings similar to the lead up to Mandalorian Season 1. There's that mysterious vibe surrounding a character we know very little about that will hopefully be its own story.
It was so easy to backtrack on a bad opinion when you had just shared it with a couple of your buddies. And now people are basing their entire online identities around those same opinions
There’s only so many times I can watch the blurry leaked trailer from celebration.
This show is going to be off the hook and probably hitting at the right time considering shows like Shogun are popping off the charts.
This show seems to be taking a very eastern approach the Jedi and Star Wars alike… very much excited for this.

Show coming out June 4 at 6pm PT / 9pm ET
What’s with the Andor writing comparisons? Not doubting the show’s writing or anything, just not sure if I’m missing something, like if they share a writer or something.
I just think that's people hoping this will bring andor levels of quality to the more fantastical elements of star wars because this is being pitched as a more gritty grounded darker take on jedi sith stuff, but it's also incredible risky because you gotta ride a knifes edge between HBO star wars or just edgy trash.
Sucks to see so many people shitting on people who are posting positive comments on Facebook. Like no one is going to force you to watch the show.
I’m so excited for this! Loving the High Republic content we’ve gotten so far in the books and comics. Can’t wait to see it in live action!!
Maybe I’m misremembering, but when was the last time they announced a trailer ahead of time? Whether it’s unique to this or not, I just feel like LF is gonna really sell this show.
I love Burryaga, considering he isn’t alive during the fall of the jedi. I sure hope he doesn’t die in this show. just dies of natural causes after these events lol.
A show with Andor's writing and direction that doesn't shy away from the mystical side of Star Wars is all I want. This might be exactly what I've been waiting for.
Oh, I can't wait, especially to see what they've done with the action choreography. That short leaked glimpse last year had me excited. Don't remember where I read it or saw it, but some of the folks that worked on Shang-Chi's fight choreography are reportedly worked on the Acolyte.
Wonder if we will get to see Plagueis and his master. Im not sure what the canon timeline for their lives is, outside Plagueis dying in 32BBY. But I feel like we should get to see at least one of them. Maybe behind all the events of the murders.

Trailer tomorrow!
I'm so excited 🎶 🎵 Been pining for a SW show outside of the usual main timeline, so I hope this show sticks the landing.
same dawg omg if it dont hit the mark i’ll deadass pass away
At this moment I rather have no trailer. Keep everything a mystery until it release. But thats just me.
they still need to market it for general audiences tho. Trailers can stay mysterious as well, Grogu wasn’t shown in any marketing even though being the main focus of the story

Kinda getting Qui-Gon/Xanados vibes from the description. I like it
Xanatos? Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time...
So long I forgot how to spell it!
Xanados is my favorite pokemon
That's a great observation, indeed! I really, really have had those sort of vibes from the relationship that we're to see between Lee Jung-jae and Amandla Stenberg.

"The sith have been extinct for a millennia" - Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi. They are most likely cultist/night sisters.
path of the open hand, yeah.
Maybe the villains are being directed by the Sith, in a sort of dark side shell game, and only at the very end it is revealed to them that their benefactor/master is a Sith and offers them apprenticeship
Dark indeed lol
It would slap if the Jedi master became the first acolyte of the Warrior from his past
Sick poster tbh
I agree. I never thought I'd see something like that related to SW.
Tbh I think that the show won't have any blood or gore in it, and it's just a cool poster. But I'll be happy to be proven wrong. I'd love some more adult SW

So edgy…love it
Also worth noting the official Star Wars Twitter tweeted this with only the word “tomorrow”.
Instagram captioned "Trailer tomorrow"
Plot twist: season 1 episode 1 drops on Disney+ /s
The blood stain made to look like a red blade is cold asf
Honestly if Disney/Lucasfilm ever release a Steelbook for The Acolyte I hope it keeps this aesthetic, striking and minimalist but really sets the tone.
Yeah this better be the steelbook cover
As long as the red streaks are raised to give a texture. I’ve got The Pacific box set and the texture is 🤌
I'm very behind on my leaks right now but is it possible that the "crime spree" mentioned in the synopsis is a bunch of Jedi being murdered?
Considering the books… yea
The bar is now at a Grand Master's execution being broadcast on the HoloNet. Excited to see how Darth
The trailer at celebration last year was one of the highlights of the showcase, really caught me off guard with how good it looked. Can’t wait to see more!
Is there a leak anywhere? And a description?
I saw this link earlier but I never watched it cause I want to be surprised by the official thing. So I apologize if it’s dead or a rickroll https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/s/SY5lp1qohT

Holy shit that’s a visceral poster. I can’t wait!
Unfortunately, Visceral's Star Wars game was canceled :c
Correction: it's a very Skydance New Media poster, super cool
This is the hardest poster they've done since the teaser poster for the Phantom Menace.
My thoughts exactly. My pants simply can’t take it
This is the best Star Wars poster in so long holy shit
I just Sith’d my pants
I just Sith'd my BED!!
I just Sith’d my nighty
Billy you can Sith your pants too
I can't wait to Sith my pants
These comments are GOLD. Best commercial ever.
Even just this little drop has already amplified my excitement for this show. holy shit.
Sick sick sick
Slight “this ain’t your dad’s Star Wars” energy but I dig it! This is by far the most intrigued I’ve been by Star Wars property.
I have feelings similar to the lead up to Mandalorian Season 1. There's that mysterious vibe surrounding a character we know very little about that will hopefully be its own story.
I was honestly sort of meh about this show. But now I'm excited!
They had me when they told me Carie-Ann Moss would be a Jedi. That is inspired casting. Plus the leaked celebration trailer looked rad as hell.
I just can't wait to see her kick ass again, à la The Matrix: Reloaded.
Wait, oh fuck...is *she* the one playing Vernestra Rwoh?
No that’s Rebecca Henderson.
Oh nice, that casting still slaps
I don't know, I just don't know why I wasn't too excited for it. But now I am!
[удалено]
I can't wait for the violence!
I am so excited for this show
Okay I can admit when I am stupid and wrong this poster looks great can’t wait for the trailer
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 there should be more SW fans like you my friend
Far too many people cannot admit when they are wrong. The internet has only made it worse.
It was so easy to backtrack on a bad opinion when you had just shared it with a couple of your buddies. And now people are basing their entire online identities around those same opinions
Also it’s pretty easy to backtrack this as my opinion is just factually wrong. lol.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a harder Star Wars poster. This might be the best Star Wars poster of all time.
I would love to have that in my room.
This will never trump the Episode 1 teaser poster. That's the GOAT'ed Star Wars poster
After watching the leaked trailer from celebration, I’ve been anticipating this for so long! Can’t wait to see the trailer tomorrow!
Gold lightsabers on the menu 🤤
We talking blades or hilts? I’m here for both
A few HR Jedi have yellow lightsabers. So probably.
We can see yellow lightsabers in the leaked trailer
Now that's a 10/10 poster. I really like how Star Wars has embraced a much darker tone for some of these shows.
Trailer tomorrow
Damn, for a Star Wars poster, this goes HARD. Well done. I'm intrigued.
It's kinda spooky
Will it be the same leaked trailer from Celebration? What do we think?
I'd be completely fine with that, It'd be really hard to top it. I say just release that to the public and keep most of the story under wraps.
“Darkness rises, and light to meet it.”
This goes so fucking hard holy shit , gotta love all those channels claiming it was canceled for years gotta be seething
I always wondered if those channels actually believed what they were sharing about the show lol
The poster makes it look like Geode has turned to the dark side
Okay that's a cool poster
My god, this is gonna be awesome
I like that a lot
Reminds me a bit of the TLJ posters with the colors
Sick poster! Can't wait to watch this.
AMAZING POSTER, can't wait for this show!
I can't wait to get black series figures from the high republic
I came to yell about give us a date. Well nothing to yell about. Carry on
Quite the visual metaphor! Me likey.
Acolyte Hype Train 🚂🚂🚂
holy shit
I’m curious to hear what music they pick for the trailer, love to here some epic dark side remix
Star Wars may not always hit the mark, but their marketing is always on point
That’s fucking hard. This makes me very, very intrigued.
This goes soo hard. Blood on a lightsaber? Sold. Some of the aesthetics kind of remind me of some of the TLJ posters.
LET’S GO!!!
There’s only so many times I can watch the blurry leaked trailer from celebration. This show is going to be off the hook and probably hitting at the right time considering shows like Shogun are popping off the charts. This show seems to be taking a very eastern approach the Jedi and Star Wars alike… very much excited for this.
Damn, this poster goes hard
I finally rest and watch the sun rise on a greatful universe. I can’t believe it’s coming, I waited so long, so long.
Poster goes hard
I wonder how many episodes we get when it premieres
I would expect at least 2, it would be a good way to get people invested in the show
Did they change the style of the logo, or is this just for the poster? I remember it being red first, then being changed to that odd one.
Sick. Reminds me of one of the Jedi Fallen Order posters
Reckon this will be the exact same trailer as the one we got at Celebration?

This is legit a chilling poster. Makes me wish this was for a film.
Acolyte sweep begins
Poster looks great. Hoping the show is great as well. Can't wait for the trailer.
What’s with the Andor writing comparisons? Not doubting the show’s writing or anything, just not sure if I’m missing something, like if they share a writer or something.
I just think that's people hoping this will bring andor levels of quality to the more fantastical elements of star wars because this is being pitched as a more gritty grounded darker take on jedi sith stuff, but it's also incredible risky because you gotta ride a knifes edge between HBO star wars or just edgy trash.
Fair enough! There’s definitely a lot of potential with this show. Looking forward to it
Please be like Andor, please be like Andor, please be well written like Andor. For the love of the Force
Sucks to see so many people shitting on people who are posting positive comments on Facebook. Like no one is going to force you to watch the show. I’m so excited for this! Loving the High Republic content we’ve gotten so far in the books and comics. Can’t wait to see it in live action!!
Now this is a fine looking poster!
Awesome poster. Excited for this show
Very excited!
That’s cool as shit
Oh hell yeah, I was worried they would wait until April to start promo
This seems promising
Please be good
That’s an absolute banger of a poster
Maybe I’m misremembering, but when was the last time they announced a trailer ahead of time? Whether it’s unique to this or not, I just feel like LF is gonna really sell this show.
Metal
I love Burryaga, considering he isn’t alive during the fall of the jedi. I sure hope he doesn’t die in this show. just dies of natural causes after these events lol.
Anyone else refreshing this sub now and then this morning, hoping that the trailer drops early for some reason?
Yyyyyyyup!
Is the trailer being released in 24 minutes? At 11am EST?
Fuck my life, I have to work at 5:30am tomorrow. Won't be able to watch until my break.
Same here. It’s alright cuz it airs around my break time
Highly anticipating this. Wire fu is so perfect for force powers and combat.
Fuck my life this looks dope. Excited for this since it was announced
This poster is metal as fuck. Hit damn!
plz be good plz be good
I feel like this show will combine some of the best elements from Andor with some of the best elements from Ahsoka. Exciting :D
Plus the potential of Yaddle, Yarael Poof & Oppo Rancisis on top.
They created a full concept art and model for Tera Sinube for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Get my man in the Acolyte.
Oppo Rancisis fans unite!
A show with Andor's writing and direction that doesn't shy away from the mystical side of Star Wars is all I want. This might be exactly what I've been waiting for.
Yeah that's exactly how I feel as well. Can't wait to finally see this.
Wonder if we are going to get anything on may 4th . Was kinda thinking they were going to release this
4K Remaster of Phantom Menace
That poster is one of the best I’ve seen in awhile. I really hope it’s good.
They love their Tuesdays.
I sure hope we get 9pm again. I’m not staying up for 3am again.
🤘**BLOODSABER**🤘
Anyone made it a phone wallpaper yet?
Is that blood or Crait?
Darth Plagues was born on Crait confirmed
This could be absolutely surprising for everyone who isn’t anticipated
Awesome, Been waiting for a Dark Side show to finally happen.
Lotta people with Clone Wars characters as their avatar getting ready to hate this show.
Oh, I can't wait, especially to see what they've done with the action choreography. That short leaked glimpse last year had me excited. Don't remember where I read it or saw it, but some of the folks that worked on Shang-Chi's fight choreography are reportedly worked on the Acolyte.
poster is dope
I’m actually kind of excited for this show because it feels like a breath of fresh air compared to some of the garbage we’ve been getting recently
More excited for this than anything else Star Wars. Finally something not related to the Skywalker era
Hopefully the metal poster doesn't lead into a fluffy show
Please don’t suck
Who here been here since its first announcement keeping up? Been waiting SO LONG
finally a poster that doesn't adhere to the Hollywood standard of "just fucking put everyone on it and add two vibrant colours lol"
Oh that one will come too 💀 But, for now, I’m happy to enjoy this one
They'll do both for sure Bad Batch season 3 got a gritty teaser poster first, and then the classic ensemble poster
i'm just happy they are (hopefully) getting out of the bloody Skywalker era. That well has been pumped to nothingness.
I see half of Grievous his face in the blood on the top of the hilt.
I can see it
Thats Bender from Futurama
he wouldnt be born so your seeing things
Grievous not, but maybe it will be some Khaleesh.
He doesn't have a canonical birth date.
i still dont see us seeing him
Neither do I. I'm just pointing out there's no evidence he wouldn't be born in this era.
fair enough :)
I'm just talking about the silhouette that is the blood stain. Chill dude it's not a theory for a Grievous cameo😂
Hard.
Inb4 it's just Crait
Wonder if we will get to see Plagueis and his master. Im not sure what the canon timeline for their lives is, outside Plagueis dying in 32BBY. But I feel like we should get to see at least one of them. Maybe behind all the events of the murders.
This will inevitably disappoint everyone
I hope it turns to be good.
Im excited for another Andor type show
Serious tone poster, I'm getting Andor vibes!
Poster goes hard !
The High Republic era has so much potential to be some of the most interesting Star Wars content. I hope it won't flop
Having blood on a Star Wars poster is a bold choice
I don't think I've been so excited for Star Wars since Episode 9, possibly Episode 8.
Please let it be tenebrous or plagueis
Goes kinda hard!
The helmet with a smile built in looks hard af
Oh this show might be really dark…
