When Is 'The Acolyte' Star Wars Series Set?

The first trailer of The Acolyte is here, revealing a whole new era of Star Wars storytelling to screens. There are Jedi all over the galaxy, from the Jedi Temple in Coruscant to shady cantinas in the Outer Rim. They are at the peak of their power, and their light reaches everywhere - to the point where it feels almost blinding. Not even in the Prequel Trilogy were they ever this powerful. That's because The Acolyte is set nearly a century before The Phantom Menace, and what the series will show us is actually the very beginning of their downfall. This is the end of the High Republic era, a period of peace, progress, and enlightenment in the Star Wars galaxy, guided by the light of the Jedi and the wisdom of the Republic.
