Disney Plus is on a run of turning Marvel and Star Wars stories into animated anthologies, and that’s not stopping anytime soon. The latest is Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, a follow-up to 2022’s Tales of the Jedi, which, naturally, explores the dark side of the Force. It starts streaming on Disney Plus on May 4th.

The series will consist of six episodes, which will be split between two character perspectives: the Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth (who will be familiar to those who watched Ahsoka) and former Jedi Barriss Offee (previously featured in Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars). According to Disney, the series “focuses on previously untold events in the lives of the featured characters.”

Tales of the Empire joins a growing list of animated anthologies on Disney Plus, including the likes of Star Wars: Visions and Marvel’s What If…?, as well as non-franchise collections like the Afrofuturism-themed Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire. It’s also not the only darker Star Wars story coming to Disney Plus soon; The Acolyte starts streaming on June 4th.
