To celebrate this year’s Star Wars Day on May 4th, Disney has announced a brand new series of animated shorts called “Star Wars: Tales Of The Underworld” will be coming soon to Disney+.

The series will consist of six short episodes and continues the trend that we have seen with previous releases, “Tales Of The Jedi” and “Tales Of The Empire”.

“Tales Of The Underworld” will follow two notorious bounty hunters: former dark side assassin Asajj Ventress as she’s given a new chance at life and must go on the run with an unexpected new ally, and outlaw Cad Bane as he faces his past when he confronts an old friend, now a marshal on the other side of the law.

Check out the “Tales Of The Underworld” trailer below:

“Tales of the Underworld” stars returning voice actors Nika Futterman as Asajj Ventress and Corey Burton as Cad Bane, as well as Artt Butler, Lane Factor, AJ LoCascio, Clare Grant, Dawn-Lyen Gardner, and Eric Lopez.

Dave Filoni created the series and is the supervising director. He is also an executive producer along with Athena Yvette Portillo and Carrie Beck. Josh Rimes serves as co-executive producer, Alex Spotswood is the senior producer, and Matt Michnovetz is the writer.

Roger’s Take: I really enjoyed the past two series of “Tales” shorts and have no doubt I’ll be checking out these shorts too, though the three about Cad Bane will be the ones I want to watch first. I think expanding this series and telling short stories about lesser known characters is a perfect way to expand the lore of Star Wars, without overwelming audiences.

Are you looking forward to watching “Tales of the Underworld” when it arrives on Disney+ on May 4th? Let me know on social media!
