The first Star Wars: Tales of the Empire trailer has been unveiled, revealing a new set of animated shorts in the style of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi. The show is set to debut on Disney+ on May 4 — also known as Star Wars Day.
“Journey into the fearsome Galactic Empire through the eyes of two warriors on divergent paths — Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth and former Jedi Barriss Offee,” reads the series’ synopsis. “Like the first season following Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku, Tales of the Empire focuses on previously untold events in the lives of the featured characters. The trailer teases that we’ll learn how a young Morgan Elsbeth navigates the expanding Imperial world towards 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.”
