Lucasfilm has debuted a new poster for Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, bringing back some familiar faces from the past, even if a few of them don't look quite as we remember.
Take Count Dooku, for example; we'll spend time with that villain during his younger days, learning more about why he turned his back on the Jedi and how he became Darth Sidious' "apprentice." Ahsoka Tano is also front and centre, with Ashley Eckstein set to reprise her role as the beloved The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels character to reveal her childhood.
We spoke to the actress earlier this year about her return, and she shared her excitement to play Ahsoka again.
"I am just beyond honoured to step back into Ahsoka’s boots and breathe life into her again for Tales of the Jedi. Dave Filoni promises me I would always be the voice of Ahsoka in animation, and I’m thrilled to return and so excited. The shorts are beautiful. The stories are wonderful. I can’t wait to share them with everyone."
Elsewhere on the poster, we see the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Clone Commander Cody, and even Yaddle. Rumour has it Tales of the Jedi will finally shed some light on why she vanished after The Phantom Menace, so this will be no throwaway series of shorts.
The six brand-new animated shorts feature parables built around Jedi from the prequel era. In the series, we'll journey into the lives of two distinctly different Jedi: Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. Each will be put to the test as they make the choices that will define their destinies.
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi will premiere on Disney+ on October 26, with Dave Filoni, Carrie Beck, and Athena Portillo serving as executive producers.
