Star Wars will once again delight fans with a brand new series that brings together many villains from the saga. It’s going to be very heavy for the saga.
The Star Wars saga, an inexhaustible source of epic stories, is enriched with a new narrative gem with the announcement of season 2 of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, now titled Star Wars: Tales of the Empire. Scheduled for broadcast on Disney+ on May 4, 2024, this six-part animated anthology will immerse viewers in the intersecting destinies of Morgan Elsbeth, member of the Nightsisters, and Barriss Offee, former Jedi, whose journeys had until now been only sketched.
Another new series for Star Wars
Star Wars: Tales of the Empire aims to dig into the depths of these two complex characters, like what the first season achieved with Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. Viewers will discover how Morgan Elsbeth, from a young age, evolves in the growing shadow of the Empire, taking a path of revenge. Barriss Offee, for her part, seeks to survive in a galaxy whose bearings are turned upside down, after having been disillusioned with the Jedi Order and involved in the attack on the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Morgan Elsbeth, who we met in The Mandalorian and who played a key role in Ahsoka, as well as Barriss Offee, a character marked by her criticism of the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars, thus find themselves at the center of ‘a promising plot. They will not be alone: Star Wars: Tales of the Empire also reveals the presence of emblematic figures such as Thrawn, the Fourth Sister, General Grievous, Darth Vader, the Grand Inquisitor, Wing, as well as other members of the Nightsisters.
Dave Filoni, an essential figure in the SW universe, is at the origin of this new season, whose vocal cast brings together Diana Lee Inosanto (Morgan Elsbeth), Meredith Salenger (Barriss Offee), and other famous voices such as Rya Kihlstedt, Wing T. Chao, Lars Mikkelsen, Jason Isaacs and Matthew Wood.
The first season of Tales of the Jedi was praised for its rigorous approach and its ability to enrich the Star Wars universe by focusing on key characters. Although not intended to be essential, it was able to offer an enriching experience. Combining deep thought and spectacularly animated action. You have to admit it.
