Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi told two distinct stories, filling out many of the gaps in Ahsoka Tano's backstory and revealing the circumstances behind Count Dooku turning his back on the Jedi Order (including the shocking death of Yaddle).
Next up is Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, a series which will once again focus on two characters: Morgan Elsbeth and former Jedi Barriss Offee. In the former's case, we'll learn her backstory, how she met Grand Admiral Thrawn, and revisit the moments leading up to that fateful clash with Ahsoka in The Mandalorian season 2.
As for Barriss Offee, we'll see The Clone Wars character fall to the Dark Side as she joins the ranks of the Sith Inquisitors.
In the newly released clip from the animated series, we see General Grievous lay waste to Dathomir's Nightsisters alongside his droid army. This is likely what left Elsbeth's people in such dire straits and we believe a younger version of the villain can be seen in this sneak peek.
The animation is phenomenal and Grievous looks every bit as badass in action here than he did in The Clone Wars.
While we don't anticipate the show addressing too many of Ahsoka's unanswered questions, it's certainly possible that we'll finally get a better idea of why Elsbeth pledged loyalty to Grand Admiral Thrawn and what he and the Great Mothers have planned for Dathomir post-Return of the Jedi.
