Today, Star Wars fans got a much awaited piece of news. Lucasfilm has revealed the release date for the upcoming Disney+ series, The Acolyte. The new series is set during the High Republic era and the prime of the Jedi Order and will premiere on June 4th. In addition to the release date, a new teaser poster was released. The poster features a lightsaber lying on the ground, just below a streak of blood. It certainly appears The Acolyte will have a darker tone than other Star Wars series. It is also being reported, but not confirmed in the official release on StarWars.com, that the first trailer will debut tomorrow. Be sure to follow us here at That Hashtag Show as more information is released. In the meantime, keep reading for a look at the poster and more details on the series.

ABOUT THE ACOLYTE
