To get fans hyped for it, StarWars.com has released a batch of five official character posters featuring the main characters of the series.

Sol (Lee Jung-jae)

Master Sol is a wise, highly respected Jedi Master, strong in the ways of the Force. Still and stalwart, Sol has a deep sense of compassion and will defend those who cannot defend themselves. He is a powerful warrior with intense emotions that he uses his Jedi training to balance.

Indara (Carrie-Anne Moss)

Master Indara is a Jedi Master of great physical and mental skill. She has exacting control of her Force abilities, exuding a sense of command and authority with just her presence. Though she does not seek combat, she is skilled enough to engage on her own terms.

What is The Acolyte about?

Star Wars: The Acolyte will be set in the High Republic era, which has never been depicted in live-action before. Chronologically, The Acolyte will be set 100 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, so more familiar characters such as Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Count Dooku were not even born yet.

The official synopsis of Star Wars: The Acolyte reads:

In Star Wars: The Acolyte , an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems….
