"Set around fifty years before the events of "Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace" and towards the end of the High Republic era, the live-action series follows a former Jedi Padawan and her one-time Master."
SW Books have always been hit and miss and I am currently more than a year behind the High Republic plot line, but overall it's been really good - cool Jedi tech and a lot of different interpretations of the Force, plus an enemy, at least in the early going, that is a lot more terrorist than anything and really pushes their boundaries on how to act/react.
The first trailer for ‘STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE’ has been released.

Trinity as a Jedi - Spilner locking the door his office and putting it on a loop.
Most of the same footage as the leaked celebration trailer, but still cinematically gorgeous and a few new really cool shots.
My odd lone hope is that the Wookie jedi is really bad ass, and really agile, not just a lumbering oaf with a lightsaber.

Huh? I mean I like Carrie Ann Moss and all but, she's probably more age appropriate for you...
She's 14 years older than my wife.Brian Earl Spilner said:

Ok...?
This has gotten weird.

So anyway...
Yeah, I'm here for this. Tone seems right, bit of Hong Kong style action mixed in there, loving the art direction.
Fingers crossed.
Few notes
1:21-1:24 is definitely on Ach-To Island from Episodes 8-9
Jedi wearing robes highlighted by gold just like in the High Republic book series.
character names/faces from the official site.
Mae - Mae gets swept up into a sinister mysteryone that puts her into the center of a conflict in unexpected ways
Master Sol is a wise, highly respected, powerful Jedi Master, strong in the ways of the Force, who is going through emotional conflict.
Mother Aniseya is the leader of a coven of Witches who value their independence and the preservation of their beliefs and powers.
Master Indara is a Jedi Master of great physical and mental skill.
Kelnacca, a Wookiee Jedi, is a loner who lives a solitary life.
Yord, a Jedi Knight and guardian from the Jedi Temple, is an overachiever and a rule follower. His need to be a by-the-book Jedi can cloud his mind.
Jecki is the Padawan apprentice to Master Sol. Although she is young, she projects calm and conducts herself with maturity.
And while we didn't see him in the trailer, look who shows up among the "related characters" for the Acolyte
I didn't spot Vernestra Rwoh, who is a book character being played by Rebecca Henderson, in the trailer, but there were a lot of scenes with a lot of people, so maybe the better Internet spotters will find her. At one point she builds a lightsaber whip.

So was mine. You got weirdly defensive and brought up your wife's age for some reason.
Well this took a left turn.
It's a little thing, but I'm glad to see yellow lightsabers out in the wild.
Alright, trailer was good too. Once again, hope the actual show lives up to it.
More than anything, I'm definitely glad to finally see something not in the Skywalker era

I was bragging on my hot wife. Not even 0.1% defensive. Can you bite the bullet and pay $5/month so we can have these convos on PM?Brian Earl Spilner said:

I wish it was set 500+ years before everything we have now. I want no chance to have any real connection to the skywalker stuff.
A guy without a star telling a guy he needs to get a star.
Although I hope he isn't, there's no reason Yoda couldn't be in this. It would be like my 76 year old dad going through what happened to him all the way back in 2020.

Bro, we're good. You're making it weird again. The convo took on a weird vibe is all.
Let's move on.
I think I've read 3 or 4 of the High Republic books and they purposefully have Yoda taking some sort of sabbatical training younglings on a space station or some sort of large space craft on the Outer Rim in order to have the other Jedi more active. I think Oppo Ranciss is the only character from the PT Jedi Council I remember being in the first few books.ChipFTAC01 said:

You can see the star next to my name from your post about me not having a star.maroon barchetta said:

A guy who posts here more than just about anyone, trying to call out Stars Wars fans on other boards as being sexless virgins.
I feel like it was always going to have at least some form of cameo for Yoda.
Maybe via hologram or near the end of the series? Otherwise you run into the same problem you have with Superman in a Justice League movie or even a fully-powered Professor X - most / all of the problems could be solved with one being at full capacity, so they need to be restricted somehow.wangus12 said:

Tell me more about your star.
Great job outing yourself that you have me on ignore but take it off to see what I'm saying. You can't quit me.
I look when I want to. Sometimes you are actually funny.
It speeds up my scrolling when hiding the longer bloviating posts.

So anyway / that was a very entertaining trailer!
I've only read 2 of the High Republic novels - on a scale of 1-10 how good would yall say the others are?

I've read the first 3 and have been trying to read the audio book Tempest Runner forever but work is bogging me down.kdm_01 said:

The third one - Falling Star - I found really engaging for mostly being in one setting. Looks like I'm 3 adult novels behind, par for the course.
Really great quotes from the director, Leslye Headland, courtesy of Star Wars News net
"If Star Wars is about the underdog versus the institution, [in The Acolyte] the Jedi are the institution. I was so interested in a storyline where the Jedi were at the height of their power and I don't mean The Phantom Menace, because at that point, there's a Sith Lord in the Senate that they're not picking up on. Like it's a thing I've heard of, but it's not a thing that you would ever consider you'd be interacting with."
on the SW galaxy itself
"I think it just meant so much to me because it was a place to live, a place to escape to. Not just the media, but…George [Lucas] had given you enough signposts that it's almost like Narnia. You could just go [into the Star Wars galaxy] and live there. And then you just have to come out of the wardrobe at some point and go to class."
on the combat
"I was really impressed. Carrie-Anne Moss, Amandla Stenberg, and Lee Jung-jae he really blew me away with how much of his own action he did! The way that they challenged themselves, they understood that it was important, emotionally, for the audience to see their faces."
on her love for the EU, which is super exciting to read
"There were certain things that I really wanted to do. You'll see a half Theelin, half human Jedi, Jecki, played by Dafne Keen, which was always a dream of mine. There's also some EU lore that I decided to put in because I thought it was so cool and no one told me I couldn't. There are a couple of really big EU ideas that are utilized both early on in the series and later in the series."

The trailer didn't move the needle for me, and I'm trying to figure out why. Visually it looked great, but I think I might just be meh on the Jedi as a whole.
