Disney+ has released a trailer for the latest iteration of Dave Filoni’s “Tales Of…” animated shorts series, ‘Star Wars: Tales Of The Underworld‘, premiering on Star Wars Day this year.
The third installment in the Tales anthology series, following ‘Tales of the Jedi’ and ‘Tales of the Empire’, revisits beloved characters to explore previously untold yet pivotal stories. The new six-episode journey follows 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.
In the new trailer for the series, fans get a glimpse at how Ventress and Bane are surviving in the shadow of the Empire. In a tattered cloak, Ventress (last seen in ‘Star Wars: The Bad Batch’ Season 3) ignites her saber to face a mysterious enemy with a red blade while a young Padawan grapples with life after Order 66. And donning his iconic hat, Bane finds himself in another tense blaster fight as steelpeckers circle overhead, a standoff that reminds us of his live-action appearance in ‘The Book of Boba Fett’.
‘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.
‘Star Wars: Tales Of The Underworld‘ premieres Sunday, 4th May 2025 (aka Star Wars Day), on Disney+ worldwide.
