Star Wars: The Acolyte fans have a new release to enjoy, and it might be worth it for those who prefer to sit back and relax.
Okay, so The Acolyte wasn’t perfect, but at least it wasn’t just another bog-standard Star Wars story. It felt like there was quite a bit of depth to it, something that would have been great to see in a second season.
We may never get a proper TV continuation of the series, but at least Lucasfilm has been able to give the franchise spin-off media for the fans to enjoy.
Star Wars: The Acolyte – The Crystal Crown is one such release. It’s a book centred around the Jedi Padawans Jecki and Yord from the TV series.

The book was released in July earlier this year, with fans calling it a 'win for both Star Wars books and fans of The Acolyte'. And now we've got a new release relating to the book for you to keep the Acolyte alive for a little bit longer despite the Disney+ cancellation.
The audiobook of Star Wars: The Acolyte – The Crystal Crown has been released this week. Narrated by Kristen DiMercurio, a voice actress who has contributed to over 8,000 voice spots for commercials, phone systems, video games and audiobooks.
Some of her credits include games like Marvel Move, Between the Stars, and WWE 2K25, as well as podcasts like Ars Paradoxica, Archive 81, and Zero Hours.
The total length of the audiobook comes to 10 hours and 23 minutes, perfect to split across multiple long car journeys or train rides.
“An exciting adventure starring fan-favorite Jedi Padawans Jecki and Yord from the Disney+ live-action series, Star Wars: The Acolyte,” reads the official blurb for Star Wars: The Acolyte – The Crystal Crown.
“While their Jedi Masters clean up a political mess left behind by one of their own, Jedi Padawan Jecki and her least favorite fellow Padawan Yord are drawn into a planet-wide coming-of-age ritual as featured guests. But when things unexpectedly turn deadly, Jecki and Yord will have to use all of their abilities and work together to keep each other—and their new friends—safe.
“This young adult novel is Star Wars meets The Hunger Games and offers fans of The Acolyte a chance to spend more time with two of their favorite characters from the show.”
In terms of where it’s available, it appears that the audiobook is currently only available from US retailers. It’s possible that it may come to European retailers in the future, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
