What's the Story?
TALES OF THE JEDI tells the early stories of some important characters in the Star Wars universe. From the birth of Ahsoka (voiced by Ashley Eckstein) to Count Dooku's (Corey Burton) turn to the dark side, each tale presents a slice of history from a galaxy far, far away.
Is It Any Good?
These short and intriguing episodes are presented as Jedi history lessons in the best possible way. Written and created by Dave Filoni, the mastermind behind The Mandalorian and other Star Wars stories, Tales of the Jedi is as thoughtful as any non-animated Star Wars property. The luminous animation adds even more depth to the already excellent world-building, and Star Wars fans will also be excited to see some familiar characters, including Jedi Waddle (now voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard) and Liam Neeson returning as Qui-Gon
