New Star Wars series Tales of the Jedi gets trailer as Bad Batch season 2 release date confirmed
Dave Filoni was on the ground at D23 to drop some exciting news about the upcoming animated series Tales of the Jedi. He confirmed the series will be released on Disney Plus on October 26.
The anthology series will feature six shorts, which will all drop on Disney Plus at the same time. At the moment we know three will focus on Ashoka Tano while the others focus on a young Count Dooku when he was still a Jedi.
The trailer for the new series featured some exciting tidbits for Star Wars fans with Baby Ashoka and a Young Count Dooku in the mix. Other characters featured in the first teaser included Anakin Skywalker, Bail Organa – as well as a very brief look at Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
