Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Season 2 has been revealed as Star Wars: Tales of the Empire — a six-part animated anthology arriving on Disney+ on May 4, 2024, that will tell untold stories of Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth and former Jedi Barriss Offee.
As detailed by StarWars.com, Tales of the Empire will do for these two what Tales of the Jedi did for Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku in filling out their characters and those around them. In this season, 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."
Long live the Empire.

For those unfamiliar, Morgan Elsbeth first appeared in The Mandalorian and also played a big part in Ahsoka by leading the charge to get Thrawn back. Offee, on the other hand, was a Jedi during the Clone Wars who became disillusioned with the whole Jedi Order. She was also integral in setting the bombing of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in motion and framing Ahsoka for it.
As for who will be joining them on this journey, Star Wars: Tales of the Empire's key art reveals Thrawn, the Fourth Sister, General Grevious, Darth Vader, the Grand Inquisitor, Wing, and other Nightsisters will indeed also appear.
Star Wars: Tales of the Empire was created by Dave Filoni and its 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).
In our Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi review, we said it is a "strong, tightly written showcase for two important characters in Star Wars lore: Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano. Dooku in particular gets a good amount of meat added to his character’s bones, while the other episodes feature a welcome look into Ahsoka at different points in her life.
"It’s moody and methodical at times, while still managing to weave in some beautifully animated action. It may not be absolutely vital Star Wars content, but there are certainly worse ways to revisit these characters before Ahsoka gets her own series."
