Will the Force be with the new Disney+ original series “The Acolyte”? The series will pull the Star Wars narrative away from the Skywalker saga in order to focus on a new story, one with fresh characters and settings that fans of the franchise have never seen before. The show premieres on Tuesday, June 4, and as a self-confessed Star Wars nerd, I thought the debut of “The Acolyte” was a great opportunity to run through every title from the franchise already available to stream on Disney+, in chronological order of course.
Key Details:
- “The Acolyte” drops at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, June 4.
- Viewers can stream titles from every era of the Star Wars saga on Disney+.
- The platform carries live-action, animated, and behind-the-scenes Star Wars projects.
Star Wars Shows and Movies by Galactic Era:
High Republic Era
“The Acolyte” is the first live-action Star Wars TV show or movie to explore the era of the High Republic. The show is set 100 years before “The Phantom Menace,” and will take audiences to a time when the Jedi were the unquestioned guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. The show will allow viewers to roll into the prequel trilogy with much more context about the history of the Jedi, and why the specter of the Sith still haunts the Order.
The only other time that this period in galactic history has appeared on screen was in last year’s pre-school-aimed cartoon “Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures.” Because of the very different tones and focuses of the series, “Young Jedi Adventures” isn’t exactly a must-watch in order to prepare for “The Acolyte,” but it is available on Disney+. The only other way to dive deeper into the High Republic Era is via the Star Wars novels and comic books that have been long chronicling this time in history.

The Prequel Era
The prequel trilogy isn’t especially beloved by older Star Wars fans, but younger generations have helped to make “The Phantom Menace” the most-streamed Star Wars movie ever on Disney+.
