Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Release Date

The series is taken under the banner of LucasFilm Animations, revealing that the show will finally be available in Fall 2022. While the creators have not revealed the exact date of release for the series, they have dropped the official logo for the franchise.

Rumors regarding the status of the latest installment started arising in early May when a panel schedule revealed its name. The program has been deleted; however, fans quickly recognized the name and formed a link. Dark Horse comics had released a miniseries with the same title, and the anthology was one of the first to delve into the Jedi Order’s long rivalry with the Sith.

Storyline

If you are unfamiliar with the storyline for Tales of the Jedi, the books dropped between 1993 and 1998. The 6 episode series has been split into two parts. One will focus on Ahsoka Tano’s character following her through different walks of life. The other storyline follows a young Count Dooku before falling onto the dark side.

The series is set 4000 years before the Star Wars films and talks about the Jedi order at a vital moment. The Jedi are in an ongoing rivalry with the Sith, known as “The Great Sith War.” This new animated series focuses primarily on the Jedis and their religion, the Old Republic, and how the Sith came into being.

Trailer

The creators have not revealed the exact release date for the series; as a result, no trailer for the show is available at this point either. However, viewers were shown a teaser for the upcoming edition at the Star Wars celebration panel in May 2022.

Since the team has confirmed that the series will drop in the fall of 2022, we believe that a trailer is soon to come. Following the trend, we expect a trailer to drop about a month before the release of the entire series.
