The second season of Star Wars‘ anthology series Tales of the Jedi has taken a bit of a twist as we’ll see the other side of the galactic conflict in Tales of the Empire. The 6-episode season, which will premiere on Star Wars Day May 4th, will focus on Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth, who debuted in The Mandalorian before becoming a main antagonist in Ahsoka, and former Jedi padawan Barriss Offee, last seen over 10 years ago in the fifth season of The Clone Wars. Watch the trailer below…
Tales of the Empire will see many of the Star Wars actors reprise their roles. Diana Lee Inosanto will return as Morgan Elsbeth, Meredith Salenger as Barriss Offee, Rya Kihlstedt as Lyn/Fourth Sister, Wing T. Chao as Wing, Lars Mikkelsen as Thrawn, Jason Isaacs as the Grand Inquisitor and Matthew Wood as General Grievous.
Star Wars: Tales of the Empire was created by Dave Filoni. He will also be the series’ supervising director and executive producer alongside Athena Yvette Portillo and Carrie Beck. Alex Spotswood serves as senior producer with Josh Rimes is co-executive producer.
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.
Star Wars: Tales of the Empire will premiere on May 4th.
