When does The Acolyte take place The new Star Wars

The Star Wars universe keeps growing and growing – and with each new project, the timeline gets a little more complicated. This is especially true of The Acolyte. The new Star Wars series explores a time that we have never seen before in the form of moving images. We find ourselves at the end of a special era.

When does The Acolyte play? The simple answer

The simplest answer is as follows: The Acolyte takes place 100 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace. The series is set in the final throes of the High Republic.

Wait, what is the High Republic?

The High Republic is the name given to an era in which the Jedi were at the height of their power and strove for ideals. Peace reigned in the Galactic Republic and there was no trace of the Sith anywhere.

This era was first described in the form told by books and comicsThe Acolyte is now the first live-action project that the High Republic is bringing to Disney+, following the animated series Star Wars: The Adventures of the Young Jedi.

When does The Acoylte play? The detailed answer

If “100 years before Episode 1” is too vague an answer for you, you can find the exact classification of The Acolyte on the Star Wars timeline. But first we need to clarify a few terms, because every event in the galaxy far, far away relates to the destruction of the first Death Star at the Battle of Yavin.

  • VSY characterizes everything that before the Battle of Yavin plays
  • NSY stands for everything that after the Battle of Yavin plays

    • Furthermore, the Star Wars timeline can be divided into different eras.

  • The beginnings of the Jedi (26,000 BSY to 20,000 BSY)
  • The Old Republic (20,000 BBY to 501 BBY)
  • The High Republic (500 VSY to 100 VSY)
  • The Fall of the Jedi (100 BBY to 19 BBY)
  • The rule of the empire (18 BBY to 1 BBY)
  • The Age of Rebellion (0 NSY to 5 NSY)
  • The New Republic (6 ASY to 27 ASY)
  • The Rise of the First Order (28 NSY to 35 NSY)
  • The New Jedi Order (36 ABY to unknown)

    • As already mentioned: The Acolyte is set in the High Republic and 100 years before Episode 1. In concrete terms, this means:

    The plot of The Acolyte begins in 132 BBY.
