In 2022, Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi took audiences by surprise both with its eye-catching animation and captivating canonical short stories. The six-episode series filled in some of the blanks in the personal histories of Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku, further fleshing out some of the franchise’s more intriguing characters. A second season of the series was promised during Star Wars Celebration 2023 and now Disney has rolled out the first details about the follow-up.
Rather than delving further into Ahsoka or Dooku’s lives or giving other Jedi the same treatment, Lucasfilm made a markedly different choice. Through a thrilling trailer, Season 2 was revealed to be titled Tales of the Empire! The six-episode season will still focus on force users, however, with Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee set to take center stage.
Star Wars: Tales of the Empire is a six-episode journey into the fearsome Galactic Empire through the eyes of two warriors on divergent paths, set during different eras. After losing everything, young Morgan Elsbeth navigates the expanding Imperial world toward 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.
