The Acolyte (Season 1)

The Acolyte (2024) is the Star Wars mystery series you can watch online on iFILM. Set a hundred years before the Empire, in the final stretch of the High Republic, it drops you into an era where the Jedi Order sits at the height of its power and the galaxy has gone generations without war. Then a string of killings shatters the calm.

The investigation forces a Jedi Master to confront a dangerous warrior tied to his own past. Amandla Stenberg anchors it in a dual role as twin sisters split apart by a childhood tragedy, opposite Lee Jung-jae as a Jedi who has leaned on the code far longer than on his own doubts. Carrie-Anne Moss turns up too. Showrunner Leslye Headland frames the whole thing less as another light-versus-dark saga and more as a whodunit where every side believes it's right.

One season, eight episodes, it streamed on Disney+ before being canceled after its first run. A good watch if you care less about the Skywalker years and more about how the Sith crept back and where the cracks in the Order really started. Stream every episode of The Acolyte (2024) online on iFILM.
