Star Wars: Tales of the Empire comes to Disney plus

The Star Wars franchise will continue its time at Disney+ with the arrival of new series Star Wars: Tales of the Empire. This release follows the conclusion of 2021 series Star Wars: The Bad Batch which will premiere its third and final season on 1 May. The new animated sci-fi series from the Lucasfilm production team will premiere on 4 May.

Lucasfilm has had a long history with animated projects, with the first venture into the medium coming in 1985 with Star Wars:Droids and the first CG 3D animated Star Wars series The Clone Wars. In 2021, Star Wars: The Bad Batch became the first original animated series created for Disney+, capturing the immediate aftermath of The Clone Wars. From The Clone Wars to the upcoming six episode series, director David Filoni has been a constant collaborator.

Last year, Filoni stepped into his creator shoes for Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi exploring the paths of Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku on their very different Jedi paths. For the upcoming series, Filoni will also serve as supervising director and executive producer alongside Athena Yvette Portillo and Carrie Beck, Josh Rims will serve as co-executive producer and Alex Spotswood as senior producer.

Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, is a six episode exploration of the Galactic Empire. Told through the perspective of two warriors, Morgan Elsbeth and former Jedi Barriss Offee, on divergent paths, the series provides an immersive experience. Elsbeth and Offee are voiced by Diana Lee Inosanto and Meredith Salenger, with other voice actors including Rya Kihlstedt (Lun aka Fourth Sister), Wing T. Chao (Wing), Lars Mikkelsen (Thrawn), Jason Isaacs (Grand Inquisitor) and Matthew Wood (General Grievous).
