Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, a new six-part animated anthology in the style of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, was announced today with a surprise trailer and key art reveal.
Journey into the fearsome Galactic Empire through the eyes of two warriors on divergent paths — Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth and former Jedi Barriss Offee. Like the first season following Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku, Tales of the Empire focuses on previously untold events in the lives of the featured characters. The trailer teases that we’ll learn how a young Morgan Elsbeth navigates the expanding Imperial world towards a path of vengeance, while former Jedi Barriss Offee does what she must to survive a rapidly changing galaxy. The choices they make will define their destinies.
Plus, the key art features Thrawn and the Fourth Sister, General Grievous ready for battle, Darth Vader, the Grand Inquisitor and other new and familiar characters including Wing and the Nightsisters.
The talented voice cast includes Diana Lee Inosanto (Morgan Elsbeth), Meredith Salenger (Barriss Offee), Rya Kihlstedt (Lyn, aka Fourth Sister), Wing T. Chao (Wing), Lars Mikkelsen (Thrawn), Jason Isaacs (Grand Inquisitor) and Matthew Wood (General Grievous).
Dave Filoni created the series, is supervising director and executive producer along with Athena Yvette Portillo and Carrie Beck. Josh Rimes serves as co-executive producer and Alex Spotswood is the senior producer.
Star Wars: Tales of the Empire arrives May 4, 2024, on Disney+.'
A pity it appears to be aimed at fleshing out the backstory of Morgan Elsbeth - whose path and end we already know... which was somewhat underwhelming. Although it could be good to finally see what became of Barriss Offee. Vader fan service is also a pity - undoubtedly amongst other 'key jangling' too, no doubt...
(This is from Dave Filoni, after all).
I'd rather see something new and different, new stories & characters - or at least those we haven't seen much of in other modern / recent content
(maybe OT/ST/KOTOR/THR eras etc)... rather than a sequel of sorts to the 'Tales Of The Jedi' and continuation of 2008's 'The Clone Wars' series... but will give it a go.
