The protagonist of the tale is a former Padawan who, upon re-joining her Jedi Master to look into a string of atrocities, finds that the forces they are up against are darker than they could have ever imagined. Unfortunately, the sources indicate that the first two episodes of Star Wars: The Acolyte were leaked in high quality on torrent sites, including MovieRulz, Tamilrockers, 1337x, and Telegram channels on the day of its release. The new season of the show was also pirated.

This incident is part of a growing trend of movies and shows being quickly pirated upon release despite efforts to combat these illegal activities. Even with previous attempts to block these sites and enforce restrictions, they persist, enabling the spread of piracy. Cybercrime authorities must take stronger actions against these platforms. OTT Releases Of The Week: Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's Bade Miyan Chote Miyan On Netflix, Dafne Keen's Star Wars - The Acolyte on Disney+ Hotstar & More.
