The show’s title card simply reads The Acolyte. No mention of Star Wars. And in the lead-up to The Acolyte, Disney and Lucasfilm have emphasized how different this Star Wars show is from all the previous ones on Disney+.

Star Wars’ new Disney+ series The Acolyte takes fans into an era of the galaxy far, far away that has never been explored in a live-action TV series before. Known as “The High Republic,” The Acolyte is set roughly 100 years before the main Star Wars movie franchise, at a time when the Jedi remain the main Force wielders in the universe, and the Sith are almost non-existent. The High Republic has been the subject of novels and comics and other Star Wars stuff in the last few years, but The Acolyte is the thing that is really going to bring it to more casual Star Wars fans for the first time. An...

(Miller based his story, loosely, on the real Battle of Thermopylae.) Now, per Variety, it looks as though Warner Bros. is looking to relaunch the concept as a television series. Their report claims “exact plot details are still being worked out, but sources say that the show would serve as a prequel to the 2006 film.” It’s not clear yet whether Warners intends the series for its own networks or st...

The first thing that leaps out at you when HBO’s Ren Faire begins is the way it looks.

If I have to watch one more doc that begins with the interview subjects arriving in their seat, adjusting their clothes and their microphones, and then saying something like “I’m ready, let’s dot his,” I’m going to lose it. Ren Faire is something else entirely. The three-part series, directed by Lance Oppenheim (Some Kind of Heaven), has cinematic visuals co...
