A vengeful young woman and a former Jedi navigate the ruthless Galactic Empire during different eras, their divergent choices shaping their fates in a rapidly changing galaxy.
A second installment was announced in April 2023, and was revealed a year later to be titled Tales of the Empire. Also known as Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, it is also split into two arcs, with one following Morgan Elsbeth (voiced by Diana Lee Inosanto) and the other following former Jedi Barriss Offee (voiced by Meredith Salenger). Tales of the Empire is set to be released on May 4, 2024.
Star Wars: Tales of the Empire is an anthology series set during the Dark Times of the Empire’s reign. In 2022, Lucasfilm released a stunning animated anthology series that celebrated two classic characters from the prequel trilogy era – Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. Tales of the Jedi was warmly received, and it didn’t take Lucasfilm long to confirm season 2 was on its way.
But there was a twist in the tale; in April 2024, Lucasfilm delighted viewers by revealing Tales of the Jedi season 2 had become Tales of the Empire. The Tales of the Empire trailer revealed the format would be the same, with the six episodes divided between two characters. This time, though, it looks set to be serving as a crucial part of ongoing Star Wars arcs – coloring in the backstories of major Ahsoka characters, and even featuring Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Tales of the Empire will release on May 4, 2024, part of this year’s Star Wars Day celebrations. The thrilling trailer confirms the main viewpoint characters here are Meredith Salenger’s Barriss Offee and Diana Lee Inosanto’s Morgan Elsbeth. The former was a major character in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, who betrayed the Jedi and framed Ahsoka Tano for bombing the temple. Morgan Elsbeth, meanwhile, appeared in live-action in Ahsoka as an Imperial who helped bring Grand Admiral Thrawn back to the main galaxy several years after Return of the Jedi.
