A new Star Wars animation will release on October 26th on Disney+. Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi will be a collection of shorts about fan-favorite characters, Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. The directors, voice actors, and episode titles have all been officially released ahead of schedule, with the lengths of each episode leaked shortly after.
The official release from Disney states the six shorts are created by none other than Dave Filoni. Filoni is also the executive producer, supervising director, and writer of five of the six shorts. The episodes Filoni wrote are “Life and Death”; “Justice”; “The Sith Lord”; “Practice Makes Perfect”; and “Coda.” Charles Murray and Élan Murray are the writers of “Choices.” These six shorts will have a total (leaked) run time of 83 minutes.
Charles Murray will be the director of “Choices”; while Nathaniel Villanueva directs “Life and Death.” The rest of the episodes, “Justice”; “The Sith Lord”; “Practice Makes Perfect”; and “Coda” will be directed by Saul Ruiz. Along with Filoni as executive producers are Athena Yvette Portillo and Carrie Beck and Alex Spotswood and Josh Rimes are producers.
The report released by Disney lists the characters and voices: Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano; Corey Burton as Count Dooku; Janina Gavankar as Ahsoka’s mother, Pav-ti; Micheal Richardson as young Qui-Gon Jinn; TC Carson as Mace Windu; Ian McDiarmid as Darth Sidious; Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn; Phil Lamarr as Bail Organa; Clancy Brown as Inquisitor; Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker; and James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The leak did not have names for the episodes. It only stated that it “was in order.” The leaked times are 17, 14, 13, 15, 10, and 14 minutes for each episode. Disney could have provided the names of each episode in order, but it seems the report only listed the titles by relevance to the writer/director. It was also a leak, so take these times as estimates.
The series will premiere on October 26th. It will explore both heroic and darker moments in these Jedi’s lives. From Ahsoka’s childhood home to Dooku’s fall to the dark side, expect to see some great animation, sound design, and so much more.
