Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Appears To Be the Next Major Animated Series

It looks like Lucasfilm will announce another Star Wars animated series at Celebration.

 

Lucasfilm is doing its best to slowly expand the Star Wars universe in live-action and animation. The latter medium is able to do some things the former is not, on a considerably smaller budget. The Mandalorian and Ahsoka producer Dave Filoni even started out on the animation side of Lucasfilm. Current and upcoming shows consist of Galaxy of Adventures shorts, The Bad Batch, Star Wars: Visions, and the kid-focused Galactic Pals.

Now it seems there's another animated show on the horizon. The panel schedule for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim went up earlier today and as noted by Gizmodo, one panel mentioned an animated series called Tales of the Jedi. The panel description listed Filoni as an attendee, pointing to the series being another show under his purview. That schedule listing has since been scrubbed from the site.

We don't know what the series will entail. It's unlikely that it's another anime anthology series like Visions. "Jedi" is a pretty broad concept, meaning the show could take place anywhere in the Star Wars timeline. It could take place in the Old Republic, the High Republic, the Clone Wars era, or even after The Rise of Skywalker.
