With Disney+ gearing up for the release of their anthology series Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, they’ve released a new clip that has Grievous taking on another faction of Force users known as the Nightsisters.

Check this out:

Though Grievous does look to be the main highlight of the clip, this is expected to be part of the backstory of Morgan Elsbeth, the Nightsister played by Diana Lee Inosanto in the Ahsoka series. In Tales of Empire, we’re expected to see the fall of the Nightsisters by the hands of the Empire and how Elsbeth finds herself working for Thrawn when we meet her in The Mandalorian.

Going back to Grievous though, this Jedi hunter pretty much had his backstory fleshed out in The Clone Wars, but a lot of fans have said that he hasn’t been as ruthless as he was when we first saw him in the original animated Clone Wars from Genndy Tartakovsky. Hopefully with Tales, we get to see him back as a ruthless killer, rather than the moustache-twirling coward we met in Revenge of the Sith (who still looks pretty cool regardless).

Catch Star Wars: Tales of the Empire when it premieres on Disney+ on Star Wars Day, May 4.

]]> Star Wars: Glup Shittos Return in New Trailer for Tales of the Empire https://www.geekfeed.com/new-trailer-for-tales-of-the-empire/ Mon, 08 Apr 2024 10:20:21 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=81818 Disney+ had delivered us an anthology series with Tales of the Jedi, but now they’re ready to flip the script with Tales of the Empire. The series is expected to premiere on Star Wars Day May 4th later this year, and we have our first trailer.

Check this out:

The series is said to have six different shorts, all focusing on different characters around the time of the Clone Wars and the Original Trilogy.

Barriss Offee was a fan-favorite character from the Prequels whose fate was left uncertain after the end of The Clone Wars, and we’re going to see where her story goes during the rise of the Empire.

Morgan Elsbeth, who was also a main player in The Mandalorian and Ahsoka also gets her backstory fleshed out with Thrawn and a clash with Grievous and the Night Sisters.

With the upcoming series The Acolyte said to be focusing on the blind side of the Jedi, it’s interesting that the Tales series would choose to focus on the villains this time. I don’t expect to be an all-out endorsement of the Dark Side by Disney or Lucasfilm, but what fun is fiction when it can only focus on heroes?

I’m just hoping we get more connections to the Sequel Trilogy moving forward, but it’s possible that the era is still too fragile to touch with Lucasfilm still trying to figure out a good re-entry point.

Star Wars: Tales of the Empire comes to Disney+ on May 4. Tales of the Jedi is now streaming.
