The Acolyte was Star Wars’ first live-action foray into The High Republic, an era set centuries before the prequel trilogy that had previously been confined to books and comics. It shows the Jedi at their peak, when they served as peacekeepers across the galaxy and weren’t being withered by conflict and Sith machinations. The Acolyte even showed the live-action debut of Vernestra Rwoh, a key character from the High Republic books.
But now that The Acolyte is canceled, the High Republic is returning to where it started: comics and books. However, it will be picking up the torch that The Acolyte dropped and taking on a bigger role in the franchise.
