While watching Andor, another Star Wars series is on the horizon. Tales of the Jedi is the upcoming anthology series created by Dave Filoni. Officially announced earlier this year, the Star Wars series will consist of six shorts. Thanks to early reviews and details, we’re aware of what we can expect. However, there are no spoilers for the short series right now. Tales of the Jedi is set to premiere with all episodes on October 26th 2022, via Disney+.
Dave Filoni wrote these short stories while working on The Mandalorian. Eventually, he was allowed to turn them into a short series. The series follows two “paths”, with one following Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka has been a big personal focus for Lucasfilm and Disney. The Ahsoka Live-action series is currently filming with Filoni writing and directing. However, the other “path” follows Count Dooku.
Series Premise & Details
Set during the Star Wars prequel era, the short stories feature a Jedi. The first path follows Ahsoka Tano across various points in her life. Voice actress Ashley Eckstein reprises her role of Ahsoka from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. We’ll see Ahsoka during The Clone Wars, after Order 66 and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Count Dooku (Corey Burton) will be focused on the other path before he falls to the dark side under Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid).
As YouTuber “EckhartsLadder” revealed, the short episodes have an interesting length. Coming in around 10-20 minutes each. The first episode, “Life and Death”, is the longest at 17 minutes long. In contrast, the second to last episode is only 10 minutes long. The episode other episode titles are as follows. “The Sith Lord”, “Justice”, “Choices”, “Practice Makes Perfect”, and “Coda”. Dave Filoni wrote five episodes, while Charles Murray and Elan Murray wrote “Choices”.
Voice talent features many returning Clone Wars alumni. Matt Lanter reprises his voice role of Anakin Skywalker, while James Arnold Taylor takes on Obi-Wan Kenobi once again. They’ll be joined by Liam Neeson, Phil Lamarr, Michael Richardson and TC Carson. Additionally, Clancy Brown will portray the Imperial Inquisitor in the series. However, Star Wars Battlefront 2 star Janina Gavankar will take on the role of Ahsoka Tano’s mother “Pav-ti”.
