Star Wars: The 'Tales of the Empire' takes your love for Darth Vader even deeper
Need more reasons to find yourself losing - er - yourself to Star Wars fandom? Look no further than Disney+’s focus on keeping you Han Solo and Princess Leia day ones needing more courtesy of even more content like its upcoming ‘Tales of the Empire’ series.
It’s a subscription flex and Disney+ knows it. Animation goes hard and despite so many characters, it’s clear Darth Vader is going to ignite even more excitement for this series. Peep the details.
Today, Disney+ released the trailer, key art and trailer stills for Lucasfilm’s upcoming, original animated series “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire.” The new series, which is the second installment of the “Tales” series, stylistically follows 2022’s critically acclaimed “Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.”
“Tales of the Empire” launches exclusively on Disney+ on Star Wars Day, May 4, with all six episodes.
“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.
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 and is the supervising director. He is also an executive producer along with Athena Yvette Portillo and Carrie Beck. Josh Rimes serves as co-executive producer and Alex Spotswood is the senior producer.
