A new featurette for the upcoming Disney Plus series Star Wars: The Acolyte offers a closer look at Lee Jung-jae’s performance as Jedi Master Sol, a beacon of light in a galaxy on the brink of darkness.
The series, described as a mystery-thriller, is set in the final days of the High Republic era, a time when shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers threaten the peace. “In an age of light, a darkness rises,” the trailer warns, setting the stage for a story of intrigue and danger.
The plot follows a former Padawan who reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, only to discover that the forces they face are far more sinister than they imagined.
