The newest Star Wars series, “The Acolyte,” has unveiled its first trailer on Disney+, as reported by Screen Rant. The one-minute and forty-five-second teaser begins with Lee Jung-jae’s character, Sol, a Jedi from the High Republic era. Notably, the dialogue in the trailer bears resemblance to that of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” In the footage, Sol instructs younglings from the High Republic to shut their eyes, encouraging them to delve inward and establish a connection with the Force. The younglings follow his guidance, sharing their visions with Sol.
