Star Wars ‘Tales of the Jedi’ Everything We Know So Far

For many fans of the original Star Wars trilogy, our only real experience with the mystical Jedi was in Luke Skywalker’s journey to becoming a masterful warrior. But before he did, we had numerous stories about other characters who wielded that power and prestige. Tales of the Jedi is a new animated series, released by Lucasfilm and Lucas Arts, that restores stories from the original trilogy and prequels as well as brings to light new adventures of the Jedi. Tales of the Jedi has already provided viewers with a surprisingly in-depth look into the history of the Jedi Order, following them from their emergence in a chaotic galaxy through a dark period many years later. The series has even begun to explore previously unexplored areas such as Obi-Wan Kenobi’s early life and their involvement with Anakin Skywalker. The story of the Jedi begins with the earliest legends while exploring the reasons behind the rise and fall of the Order itself.
