Star Wars Drops First Teaser for New Prequel Set Before ‘Phantom Menace’

Star Wars Drops First Teaser for New Prequel Set Before ‘Phantom Menace’

You might remember “The Acolyte,” the recent prequel series that gave us a fresh perspective on the Jedi Order. 

Although it was canceled after just one season, it left a lasting impression by showing us the Jedi as a deeply flawed institution. But don’t worry, the story doesn’t end there!

We’re thrilled to announce that “The Acolyte” is getting a series of spinoffs set before its events. 

One of the most exciting spinoffs is “Star Wars: The Acolyte – Kelnacca #1,” a special one-shot comic written by Cavan Scott with stunning art by Marika Cresta

This comic will take us on an adventure with Kelnacca, the Wookie Jedi, and explore the mysterious tattoos that adorn his body.

This isn’t just another comic release; it’s an immersive journey into Star Wars history. Marvel Comics’ Star Wars: The Acolyte – Kelnacca #1 is dropping on September 4, 2024, and it’s crafted to connect The Acolyte series with The High Republic era. 

Fans can look forward to a smooth blend between these two epic timelines.

Cavan Scott shared his excitement about connecting “The Acolyte” to “The High Republic” era, which we’ve been exploring through comics, books, audio, and animation. 

Kelnacca is the perfect character to bridge the gap between these two eras, and we can’t wait to learn more about his journey as a Padawan and his wise, stoic master.

Complementing Scott’s storytelling is the stunning artwork of Marika Cresta, whose previous works include “X-Men Gold, Vol. 1” and “Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 1.”

Cresta’s ability to bring characters to life visually will undoubtedly enhance the storytelling, making “The Acolyte – Kelnacca #1” a must-read for fans.
