The latest teaser for Star Wars: Tales of the Empire features the introduction of the Dark Lord of the Sith – streaming on May 4th.
We are just away from binging the entire season of STAR WARS: TALES OF THE EMPIRE. The all-new series of animated shorts drops on Disney Plus on May 4th, and to ensure we are all suitably excited, Lucasfilm has shared a new teaser. Ordinarily, this news alone would be enough to have us popping the blue milk corks. However, the latest teaser showcases the return of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader! Check it out below.
This new teaser sets the tone perfectly. The return of the Grand Inquisitor alone is enough to whet our appetite for what awaits us. But when you add Darth Vader into the mix, our expectations are raised to a new level. The Dark Side returns with a vengeance, and we are 100% here for it.
SYNOPSIS
Journey into the fearsome Galactic Empire through the eyes of two warriors on divergent paths — Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth and former Jedi Barriss Offee. 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.
The talented voice cast includes Diana Lee Inosanto (Morgan Elsbeth), Meredith Salenger (Barriss Offee), Rya Kihlstedt (Lyn, aka Fourth Sister), Wing T. Chao (Wing), Lars Mikkelsen (Thrawn), Jason Isaacs (Grand Inquisitor) and Matthew Wood (General Grievous).
Dave Filoni created the series, is supervising director and executive producer along with Athena Yvette Portillo and Carrie Beck. Josh Rimes serves as co-executive producer and Alex Spotswood is the senior producer.
RELEASE
This new series looks exceptional and is the perfect way to celebrate May 4th. The official Star Wars Day is always exciting, but this trailer has made it even more thrilling. The characters featured in the series have been waiting to be explored in greater detail, so this new exploration is most welcome. It’s also great to see Thrawn, the Grand Inquisitor, and Darth Vader casting their shadow on the proceedings.
STAR WARS: TALES OF THE EMPIRE will arrive on Disney Plus on May 4th, so prepare to join the Dark Side of the Force.
