The Star Wars universe has been a fan favorite for decades, with a vast and rich history that has been expanded upon since Disney acquired the rights. The latest addition to this ever-growing franchise is “The Acolyte”, led by Leslye Headland, a self-proclaimed Star Wars fan. As expected, “The Acolyte” has been met with fair praise from critics and fans alike, making it a recipe for fandom-pleasing success.
Set in the Star Wars universe, “The Acolyte” explores the story of Osha and Mae, two young force-sensitive twins brought up among a coven of witches. The recent third episode, “Destiny”, took the audience 16 years into the past, revealing the life of Osha and Mae. The balance between the dark and the light was evident in the twins from an early age, setting the stage for what is to come.
To continue watching the thrilling tale unfold, fans will need to acquire a Disney+ subscription, as “The Acolyte” is currently exclusive to the streaming platform. There are various subscription options available, including the basic package with ads and 4K UHD and HDR streaming, and the premium option with ad-free viewing and additional features. While there is no confirmation on a physical release, it is likely that a DVD and Blu-ray release will come at some point in the future. For those who prefer to watch physical media, the wait might be long, but for now, the best option is Disney+.

The streaming platform is also home to many other Star Wars shows, making it the perfect destination for fans of the franchise. As the fourth episode of “The Acolyte” approaches, the stakes have never been higher. Mae’s murders are unraveling, and the pieces are starting to fall into place regarding their childhood. The next episode may bring our first taste of justice for Mae’s murders or perhaps Osha’s wrongful capture.
For those who can’t get enough of Star Wars content, Disney+ has plenty more to offer. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Andor” are two of the best options currently available on the platform, both of which are highly acclaimed and have received numerous award nominations. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” follows Ewan McGregor reprising his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a story that takes place between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. “Andor” is a prequel series to Rogue One, following Cassian Andor as he goes on the path that will turn him into a Rebel hero.
“The Acolyte” is a must-watch for Star Wars fans, with its exclusive release on Disney+ offering an unparalleled viewing experience. With the success of the first three episodes, it is clear that “The Acolyte” has achieved its goal of creating a unique and engaging story that is a love letter to the franchise.
