Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi was announced during Star Wars Celebration 2022. The first photos from the animated anthology series were shared on Star Wars' official Twitter following the event. The series will consist of six episodes, with three of them focusing on the origins of Ahsoka, following her as a baby, a child and an adult. The first-look footage shared during Star Wars Celebration also showed a young Ahsoka confronted by what appears to be an Akul and being named a Jedi by the Togruta people.

Rumors about Tales of the Jedi began circulating in December 2021 after a photo of Lucasfilm's holiday gift to its employees appeared online. While each episode will tell a different story, Tales of the Jedi will focus centrally on Ahsoka Tano, voiced by Ashley Eckstein, and Count Dooku, with Liam Neeson reprising his Phantom Menace role as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn.

Along with the return of Neeson's son will voice a younger Qui-Gon in the series as well. Tales of the Jedi will mark the second animated Star Wars anthology series for Disney+ after Star Wars: Visions was released in September 2021. The second season of Visions is reportedly in development and expected to release sometime in 2022.

Tales of the Jedi began as a comic book series published by Dark Horse from 1993 to 1998 and consisted of multiple distinct chapters set thousands of years before the Skywalker saga of films. The chapters included Knights of the Old Republic, The Freedon Nadd Uprising, Dark Lords of the Sith, The Sith War, The Golden Age of the Sith, The Fall of the Sith Empire and Redemption. While the comics went on to inspire a plethora of spinoffs, the most notable is the Bioware RPG, Stars Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which was released in 2003. The game was followed by The Sith Lords in 2004.

Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ Oct. 26.
