New episodes of the Star Wars series drop Tuesday or Wednesday on Disney+, depending on where you live.

Star Wars is back! Eight months after the end of Ahsoka, we’re getting a new series in The Acolyte. Set towards the end of the High Republic era, approximately 100 years before Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, The Acolyte takes us into an era of the galaxy far, far away that has never been seen before in live-action Star Wars. It’s also the first Star Wars series to be created by a woman in Leslye Headland, who was previously involved with Netflix’s time-travelling Russian Doll. Headland has already sketched out the show’s future and hopes to keep The Acolyte running for “at least” three seasons.
Of course, that will depend on how the first season is received. The Acolyte premiered with the first two episodes on June 4 or June 5, depending on where you live. (There are eight episodes in total.) But what time do new episodes of the Star Wars series come out on Disney+? And what are the release dates for all the other episodes? That’s what I’m here to answer.
