There’s a month left until the premiere of ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte‘, the new great series based on the universe created by George Lucas, and that will be set in the era of the High Republic, serving as a prequel to ‘Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace’, taking place about a hundred years before the film.
