The Big Picture It is another exciting time to be a Star Wars fan as The Acolyte had its two-episode premiere on Disney+ this past week. The series has finally brought The High Republic era of Star Wars into live-action, and it didn’t waste any time getting off to a thrilling start. Now, like with all new Disney+ Star Wars shows, Funko has just unveiled their first batch of Acolyte Pops.
Wave one includes five Pops in total. There’s Osha Aniseya , fan-favorite Yord Fandar with his yellow lightsaber, Master Sol with his classic blue lightsaber, Qimir and Bazil. There are a lot more characters that appear throughout the first two episodes of Acolyte, like Indara , Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon and Vernestra Rwoh , so there are still Pops that can still be mined from the first few hours of our time in The High Republic. That’s not even including the character twist featured in Episode 1.
What’s ‘The Acolyte’ About? Close Taking place around 100 years before the start of the prequel trilogy, at the tail end of The High Republic Era, the Jedi have become the dominant, unmatched police force in a time of peace. However, when Jedi Knights start to be murdered one-by-one by a mysterious new threat, it's up to Master Sol to put together a team of young Jedi to get to the bottom of these tragedies. The main suspect is his former Padawan who he’s determined to prove is innocent.
New Acolyte episodes drop every Tuesday for the next six weeks at 6 PM PST on Disney+. You can stream the first two episodes now on the streamer. The trailer can be viewed below. The entirety of Acolyte’s wave one Funko Pop set is also currently up for pre-order on Amazon. The set will drop in a galaxy far, far away on August 12. Check out the figures above.
