Star Wars animation is in every single place recently, from the climax of Clone Wars to the arrival of The Bad Batch, to issues like Visions, Galaxy of Adventures, and Galactic Pals in between. But… there’s one other: Tales of the Jedi.
What is it? We’ve bought no concept.
The new collection, described as an animated anthology, has been inadvertently revealed by the panel schedule (and seemingly since vanished from the web site) for subsequent month’s Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. Debuting on Saturday, May 28, Tales of the Jedi shall be an anthology of shorts. The panel shall be attended by Clone Wars, Rebels, Mandalorian, and Ahsoka producer Dave Filoni, maybe suggesting that the collection is partly overseen by him and Lucasfilm animation, quite than one thing like Star Wars Visions, which gathered abilities from a number of Japanese studios to develop their very own particular person tales.
That’s all guesswork although, as a result of we don’t know something in regards to the collection besides its title—which truly leaked a while ago—and the truth that it now has a panel with Filoni at Celebration. There’s zero particulars on when it’s set, and who it follows. For all we all know it may observe Jedi of the High Republic, it may observe the generals on the entrance strains of the Clone War, hell, it may even be set after Return of the Jedi or The Rise of Skywalker, and observe both Luke or Rey as they determine what the subsequent chapter of the guardians of peace within the galaxy ought to seem like.
It may return even additional in time. The title Tales of the Jedi is one acquainted to Star Wars followers. Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi was a 35-issue comedian guide collection from Dark Horse that started in 1993, and was one of many then-nascent Star Wars Expanded Universe’s first forays into telling tales within the time of the Old Republic. And not simply any time, however 1000’s and 1000’s of years earlier than the films—telling the tales of the Great Sith Wars, the Mandalorian Crusades, and the rise and fall of characters like Jedi-turned-Sith Ulic Qel-Droma and Exar Kun. This setting fashioned the premise for the basics of a few of Star Wars’ earliest chronological explorations of the galaxy far, distant, and would lay the groundwork for beloved tales like Knights of the Old Republic—and components from its historical past have weaved their means into up to date Star Wars canon, inspiring lore that knowledgeable collection like Star Wars Rebels and The Mandalorian.
Time will inform simply what precisely Tales actually is—whether it is one thing as grand as tales of historical Jedi and Sith, or one thing so simple as a short-form return to Clone Wars. io9’s reached out to Lucasfilm for readability on simply once we can anticipate to study extra in regards to the collection… however for now, it appears to be like like we’ll be ready till Star Wars Celebration to know extra.
