If you enjoy all things Star Wars, Disney Plus is adding to its assortment of franchise TV shows and movies with a follow-up to Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.
Arriving on Star Wars Day, May the Fourth, Star Wars: Tales of the Empire will comprise six animated shorts and involve a “journey into the fearsome Galactic Empire through the eyes of two warriors on divergent paths, set during different eras,” according to Disney Plus. While its predecessor featured Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku, Tales of the Empire’s subjects are Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth and former Jedi Barriss Offee, per the Star Wars website.
Diana Lee Inosanto will again portray Elsbeth, voicing the character after appearing in live-action shows The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. Similarly, Meredith Salenger will voice Offee after doing so in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The episodes will depict “previously untold events,” with Elsbeth’s portions taking place before The Mandalorian and Offee’s beginning after the season 5 finale of The Clone Wars, where her story left off, according to the Star Wars site.
Also among the cast are Rya Kihlstedt as Fourth Sister, Wing T. Chao as Wing, Lars Mikkelsen as Thrawn, Jason Isaacs as the Grand Inquisitor and Matthew Wood as General Grievous. Dave Filoni is the series’ creator, supervising director and an executive producer.
