1:

Aura, our main character, lives in a small village on a planet called “Sanshiro”, with her little sister (Miri), and grandfather (Theo). Both she and her sister are Force sensitive. Aura is about 12 years old, Miri is 3.

The planet is covered in wet marshland, scattered with jagged rocks that shoot out of the ground at an angle.

Close to their village lives a tribe of aliens who are native to Sanshiro. They’re sentient, but not fully sentient - still quite hunter/gatherer-type beings. The villagers are likely colonizers who arrived on the planet long before.

Theo and Aura are sitting in their home, a dirty, run-down shack of sorts, and Theo is telling her a story. The story is about her "parents in the stars" (they aren’t present, likely dead).

Aura then takes Miri out on a boat ride down a river close to their house, and they watch the stars in the sky (perhaps to see if they could see their parents). At the end of the stream, Aura sees a tall figure in the distance, and as they get closer she realizes it is one of the aliens. It begins to attack the sisters, and they abandon their boat, quickly running back to the village.

A few Jedi arrive on the planet to help them, and one of them makes a deal with the grandfather. This particular Jedi has a Padawan named Melody, the same age as Aura. They befriend each other at some point.

The contents of the deal are unknown to Aura, but we later find out that in exchange for long-lasting protection, Theo has agreed to give up Miri to the Order.

Attack! The aliens wreak havoc on the village, but Theo and the Jedi fight them and win.

Aura begs continuously for the Jedi to take her, too, but they refuse as she is too old. She watches Miri be taken away.

NOTE: There is a lot of information missing from where Episode 1 ends - up to what you’re about to read, so it’s not an immediate jump.

This episode is set in the present day.

Aura is grown up now. The aliens have been attacking the village regularly, and the Jedi always return to help them. Paul, a rich arms dealer (and unbeknownst to them, a Sith Lord) sells weapons to Theo and the villagers so that they can fend for themselves.

Some day soon after, the aliens attack once again. Despite the village sending out a distress call, the Jedi are nowhere to be seen. Theo, Aura, Paul and the villagers put up a fight, this time armed, but it’s not enough. They’re overrun and everyone, except Aura, appears to be killed, including Theo.

After Theo’s death, Aura is so devastated that in her anger she gets a sort of Force level up, a new power. This new power works sort of like a shockwave. When it activates, the Force shoots out of her, and  completely wipes out the alien attackers, sealing their victory.
Aura goes off into the wilderness, with the intention to kill the rest of the alien tribe's people.  Many come out to fight her, but she's so enraged that she kills them all. She doesn’t attack their village though, as she discovers that there are children.

When she gets back to her own village, the only Jedi that arrives to help is Melody, but she is too late. Paul has already subdued her, despite her now being a fully trained Jedi Knight. Paul orders Aura to finish the job.

Despite previously having a connection with her, Aura does as he asks, and kills Melody. She goes to claim her lightsaber, but Paul takes it away from her. Aura now has no one. No village, no grandfather, no friend and no sister. With nothing left to lose, she agrees to go with Paul.

The two then arrive at Paul’s palace on ‘Feather' (a new planet - see concept art description here): a big, black castle perched upon a mountain, covered in large holes/burrows, home to some sort of alien bug species. The castle is Paul’s main base of operation.


Episode 3-4: The incompetence of the Jedi to protect her village and them not allowing Aura to see her sister is what motivates her to seek out the Acolytes. The Acolytes are all vying to become the apprentice of the Sith Lord, ‘Paul’, and will have to pick one another off until only one is left standing.

Some of the other Acolytes are of alien species. At some point in the third episode, Aura makes a friend. This friend, Pann (the CGI male alien we spoke about in a previous article) is more political and a ‘wizard’. Aura and Pann struggle among the group on their own, but when working together, they are unstoppable. This creates a strong bond between them. Pann is not in episodes 1-2.

Pann, Aura and the Acolytes engage in a sort of espionage, whilst also exploring Sith and Jedi temples.

Episode 5: Paul, Aura and Pann arrive at a planet called ‘Changbai’. The planet is sort of reminiscent of Zeffo from "Jedi: Fallen Order", and the duo find a huge Jedi temple and ruins, hidden in a cavern.

In a later episode: Pann, Aura and a few other Acolytes led by Paul visit a planet called ‘Volant’ (art coming VERY soon), a Sith temple surrounded by statues, perched atop a huge snowy mountain, with a red glow coming from inside.

And finally, as we've reported, the planet ‘Gan' (Scipio - see previous article) also appears at some point possibly during the second half of the show). It is unclear how this planet fits into the plot or what it might mean for familiar characters showing up, but it is still cool to see conceptualized.
You can expect to see some art of those three planets (‘Changbai’, ‘Volant’, and ‘Gan') from us very soon. Currently working on artist renderings of the concepts we have. Our source has been great about supplying us with detailed descriptions and even allowing us to have the actual art. However, while leaking is fun and we've made sure to provide you with exciting scoops, we also care about respecting Our source's wishes. Nevertheless, you will be getting art that is as close to the actual thing as one could get, do not fret! ​


--------Scipio---------
Scipio, the munn home world, appears in #theacolyte

Concept art was created for the show, showing huge snowy mountains, with tall cities with sort of tentacles and a bell shaped roof.

Me and my source compared the art with some clips from tcw, and have confirmed it is Scipio.

—— Concept Art ——

    Auras home planet, codenamed sanshiro, and is full of marshland and mountains. The other two concepts included some snowy hills, and a desert.

    Second planet is called feather, or fether, not much info on it.

—— Plot details ——

    Aura's village is attacked by raiders regularly. Like 47 Ronin, except the attackers are primitive. Tribal, not totally sentient. Alien.

    Jedi come and protect them in exchange for taking a few kids to train. Aura is too old, but her sister is taken away (this eventually convinces her to join the acolytes)

    End of episode 2, raiders destroy the town and the Jedi come too late. Theo dies. Aura wants to be taken to her sister but the Jedi don't let her

—— Character details ——

This is concerning the main two characters. Aura and Penn.

Penn is political and mystical. Aura is a strong fighter and duelist. They struggle among the acolytes on their own, but when working together, they beat out everyone else

Note: the sister who is taken to the Jedi is the reason aura wants to win the acolyte (program?)

Additions:
Paul is a Sith, but doesn't seem like one. Super rich arms dealer. He deals weapons to aura's village so they can fight off the raiders. White male human.

Feather (code name for the planet) is home to a bunch of huge bug like monsters. It’s possible they’re some sort of hive mind, like the Geonosians. They live in a huge mountain covered in holes.

There's a scene in which Aura and Miri (her sister) take a boat down the stream. They see a creature so they hurry back to the village.

In episode 2, the alien raiders attack again, but this time they have weapons sold to them from Paul.

Aura is so enraged by theo's death, that she has a sort of force "power up" she then goes out into a bog to kill the aliens, but she doesn't go near the village since there are children there.

When she gets back to the village, the Jedi finally arrive, but they've been subdued by Paul. Paul then forces aura to kill them, and take their lightsaber.

Melody is a major character in the first 2 episodes. She's a Padawan. When Aura's sister is taken they form a friendship. In episode 2 she is a fully trained Jedi knight. Paul captures her, and forces aura to kill her.
