If the sith were hiding on Achtoo it would be an excellent rhyme for Yoda hiding on Dagobah. The dark hiding the light in the latter and the light hiding the dark in the former.

[@Owen-ub3fv]

@ScreenCrush You missed that the female alien Jedi on the right is of the Theelin species. The same species as Rystáll Sant who is one of the backing singers/dancers in Maxx Rebo's band and the bounty hunter Latts Razzi who appeared in the Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 4/5. However Rystáll Sant is apparently a human Theelin hybrid. Also this Jedi is portrayed by none other than Dafne Keen aka Logan's Laura/X-23 and His Dark Materials Lyra. Finally the young male Jedi on the right with curly hair at 12:00 is portrayed by Game of Thrones and 1917's Dean Charles - Chapman. He played King Tommen Baratheon in GoT and Lance Corporal Blake in 1917. Basically the main supporting lead.

[@gooofed5113]

High Republic = corporate sponsored fan fiction

[@anthonygordon9483]

High Republic = The Old Republic. they changed the name to High Republic to refer to what the republic was called during that time. Even when Palpatine was senator of the republic. The High Republic was refer to the Old Republic. Reason being is because the Galatic Republic fell to the Sith. When the jedis were able to restore Order , it became a New Republic and the High Republic was thus referred as the Old Republic. The High Republic is Disney attempt to rewrite the stories of Knights of the Old Republic. Because before the accusation of LucasFilms, Kotor was the official history of the star wars Republic. Since KOTOR is now considered Legacy, Disney is now calling it by the name it was referred by during that time period. The High Republic. In a Nutshell... LucasVerse the history of the Republic is called the Old Republic. In the DisneyVerse everyone still referrs to the Old Republic as the High Republic.

[@Jason_Carnes]

You know, this wouldn't be the first time the Jedi "covered up". Even when Qui-Gon told the council that he believed he faced a Sith, they were like, nah dude, you were on something. It is like a total denial thing, which could actually be the thing that marks the end of the high republic, where the Jedi drift into this state of denial we see in the prequels.

Absolutely. Also don’t rule incompetence.

[@mar.s6516]

Yeah they can go route for "technicality" just calling their enemy "rogue force user", or "fallen jedi" refusing to accept they are full on sith. Or they may go more noble route - lets say they find dark side artefact or place that is so powerfull almost no jedi can resist it, so for PROTECTION of everyone they erase every account of this event and swore secrecy, so no jedi can fall to that artefact/place ever again.

The Wookiee Jedi is actually a new character called Kallnacca (I probably spelled it wrong). The showrounner confirmed it last year in Star Wars Celebration when she brought the character on stage. She also confirmed the character is played by Joonas Swotomo, the actor who played Chewbacca in the Sequel trilogy and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

My money's on Carrie-Anne Moss being the secret Sith master. in the combat scenes it almost looks as though she's *training* Amandla Stenburg. The trailer also seems to be giving us little clues about how the Jedi could be viewed in something other than a positive light, abusing their power- the mind trick scene, for example - which ties in with the line about who is ALLOWED to use it.

One point about the meditation scene which I only realised on seeing your cut to the AOTC clip…it ties to your point immediately prior about the militarisation of the Jedi between this and the prequels. Back then, meditation was a peaceful act meant to allow you to relax, focus your thoughts and exercise your mind. By the Skywalker Saga, it involved focusing your mind to be on the defensive, search for and recognise the threat of the drones, and to wield your saber with skill and accuracy. It became an act with violence and battle at the forefront. Defensively, yes, but still not the peaceful act it once was

JFC, did you even read the synopsis that was released by Lucasfilm about all the characters in The Acolyte? Charlie Barnett’s Yord, who wields a yellow lightsaber. He’s a Jedi Knight described as “an overachiever and a rule follower,” and his by-the-book attitude regularly clouds his judgment. He’s accompanied by a young alien padawan: Jecki, played by Logan’s Dafne Keen, and the apprentice to Master Sol. Jecki has been confirmed to be a half-human, half-Theelin, a hybrid alien species first seen in Return of the Jedi-one of Jabba’s dancers added in the Special Edition re-release of the movie, Rystáll Sant, was a human/Theelin hybrid too.

Hi Ryan, I'm interested in the High republic novels or any other reading material regarding all of Star Wars. Do you recommend anything other than the high republic novels?

[@mcruz4571]

Man, you try so hard to sell this show, I have to give you that....but we all know it's going to be shaaaittttt.

[@lunarvision]

I know. I feel for this guy. You can tell he’s just doing his job, but knows everything about this show = hot garbage.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

This acolyte trailer looks awesome very excited for this series i had no idea this series takes place during near plagueis era. Would be cool to see plagueis hope it is an apprentice his master darth tenebrous is my favorite sith.

[@Wonderwall627]

This is an advert for the high republic books. Now I just wanna read

[@RedComet1701]

Daphne Keen is playing a Theelin/Human hybrid. Theelin were the race seen in the Clone Wars that have 3 horns on either side of their face.

[@joshDammmit]

Praise be to the showrunners for exploring a DIFFERENT time period. Also, y’all’s sketch comedy advertisements are the ONLY commercials I don’t try to skip past. Good advertising and not what I call, “BADvertising.”

[@nintendofan6499]

This trailer was so epic and hype!! I hope we'll see Dagan Gera in this show I still can't believe they announced the first trailer on my birthday.

[@jcross008]

Maybe it’s just me but I would love to see a series between eps 1&2 showing anakin growing and show his shift of respect of obi wan to his bitterness too. It would be cool if he had a best friend in his early years he met and that his friend got cut from the order. As his one escape from the order is essentially deleted and that kinda starts his anger towards the order

[@darthsullen]

Bro this vid has nothing to do with that

@@darthsullenHe’s just giving his thoughts and ideas. Not every comment on this video has to be related to the acolyte.

[@minecrafthacker123pl]

I think that in 0.56 second of the Acolyte trailer there is Tyvokka- Plo Koon's master

[@ScreenCrush]

What did you think of the trailer!!?

[@youssefmesrati340]

I hope star wars acolyte leads up to an old republic trilogy Star wars ep 1 phantom menace ep 2 attack of the clones the clone wars ep 3 revenge of the sith Star wars ep-2 Beginning of The Jedi ep -1 Rise of The Sith star wars acolyte ep 0 Fate of The Force

[@mrsir3261]

Fingers crossed Disney won’t be trying to push ‘the message’ in this one…

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

It look Epic can't wait see more of the high republic in this era.

[@garyfrombrooklyn]

@@mrsir3261the show runner is already an acolyte for “the message”.Look her up. Leslye Headland. I’m hoping it is not as bad as the clips she’s made would indicate.

[@carlomiele1079]

Awesome

[@geogreable]

You guys are Good at what you do! 💯

I never knew how badly I needed a “Doug does the whistle” shirt… but, here we are.

[@CoffeeBrainzz]

The time setting has potential, but I have 0 expectations for a good story anymore!! You already know there will be ZERO CHARACTER ARC for the female leads, 'cuz women are perfect' 💁

[@jonsmith2832]

Oh yeah, women are so perfect, that's why one of them is a Sith acolyte. Stop making up things to complain about.

[@MatthewFling]

I have a bad feeling about this.

[@Gabrocol]

The part where she says "No, I am the Acolyte!" And he responds, "Only Sith deal in absolutes, Its Sithin time!" completely blew me away. Truly poetic writing. One of the quotes of cinema history.

[@slaps1455]

Beskar Chainmail is SUCH a cool concept

[@dawolfman1973]

A better name for this movie would be “Star Wars: DEI”

[@adc1222]

After BOBF, mando s3, and ahsoka, i have absolutely zero faith in this show. I hope Im wrong though

[@VinnyVidiVintage]

Really excited for this show!

[@stormybear4986]

I love lore from outside the films. Ido wish there were a book/encyclopedia that contains all this stuff under one cover.

[@zakman6471]

Ridiculous
