No, Star Wars: The Acolyte Hasn't Just Retconned The Phantom Menace
The Acolyte, the next Star Wars Disney+ TV show, is already coming under fire for supposedly retconning The Phantom Menace - but is it really?
Star Wars: The Acolyte, Star Wars' newest Disney+ TV show, will officially release with a two-episode premiere on June 4, 2024, and, despite rampant speculation, the show will not be retconning the history of the Sith from Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. As one of the most thrilling inclusions in the lineup of Star Wars' upcoming TV shows, The Acolyte will be set in the Star Wars High Republic Era and explore the Jedi Order prior to the events of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. However, that does not mean changing the prequels.
