They are tasked by the Galactic Republic with finding a missing Jedi master, Foul Moudama. He had been last seen on the planet Kiffex where he was investigating an illegal mining operation, but when they finally find him, he’s dying from poisoned fumes. And there seems to be another person at the scene of the crime: Darth Vader!

While it would seem that this show will focus entirely on Quinlan Vos and Xanatos Draxis throughout its ten-episode season one run, if Disney+ picks up for a second season, then it could have more series arcs involving other characters or locations.

The Acolyte Show is inspired by the Phantom Menace.

It is set to be a ten-episode series, with the first season focusing on Quinlan Vos and Xanatos Draxis. There are hopes that if the second season picks up, then it might have more in-depth characters or locations explored by this new TV Series from Lucasfilm Animation Ltd.
