Zooming towards its official June 4 release date, Disney+'s newest"Star Wars" live-action series"The Acolyte" will be a true test for the 47-year-old franchise during a temporary lull in big screen space opera action from that galaxy far, far away.
Truth be told, this new look at"The Acolyte's" acrobatic hand-to-hand combat style is semi-refreshing for the"Star Wars" realm, but it's certainly been seen before in a multitude of martial arts movies such as"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or the"Ip Man" films and doesn't exactly set the universe on fire.
Series creator and showrunner Leslye Headland directed the pilot episode and also executive produces in collaboration with Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micallef.
