The Acolyte’s Place On The Star Wars Timeline, Explained
By BRYAN YOUNG
The very beginning of “Star Wars: The Acolyte“ tells us when it's set, and it's in quite an unexpected place — a century removed from Revenge of the Sith.
In the opening crawl, we're told that "The Acolyte" takes place 100 years before the rise of the Empire, which was during the events of "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith."
"The Phantom Menace" takes place 13 years or so before "Revenge of the Sith," therefore "The Acolyte" takes place about 87 years before anything previously seen in "Star Wars."
