“Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld,” the latest addition to Lucasfilm Animation’s anthology series, just dropped its inaugural trailer, promising to transport fans to uncharted realms of the Star Wars universe. Spearheaded by Dave Filoni, this series follows the footsteps of “Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi” and “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire,” weaving another intricate tapestry in the Star Wars saga set to debut exclusively on Disney+ this May.
In the new trailer, the enigmatic Asajj Ventress steps back into the spotlight. Originally unveiled in the 2003 “Star Wars: Clone Wars” animated series, she was once known as the lethal personal assassin of Sith Lord Count Dooku. The footage also reintroduces fans to Cad Bane, the cold-blooded mercenary from planet Duro, who first appeared in the 2008 “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” series.
What to Expect from the Underworld
As the narrative unfolds, former assassin turned bounty hunter, Asajj Ventress, finds herself on the run. She’s paired with an unexpected ally, facing a new chance at life. Meanwhile, Cad Bane confronts his past as he squares off with an old friend turned law enforcer. Voice talents bringing these characters to life include Nika Futterman, Corey Burton, Artt Butler, and others, adding depth to this cosmic adventure.
Behind the scenes, Dave Filoni dons multiple hats, serving as the series’ creator and supervising director, and sharing executive production duties with Athena Yvette Portillo and Carrie Beck. Meanwhile, the writing prowess of Matt Michnovetz enriches the storytelling, and Alex Spotswood and Josh Rimes bolster the production team.
The series, set to premiere on May 4, 2025, promises to captivate both seasoned Star Wars aficionados and newcomers alike. Until then, fans can quench their galactic thirst by revisiting “Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi” and “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire,” currently streaming on Disney+. The countdown to a new chapter in the Star Wars legacy has begun, and the galaxy is once again abuzz with anticipation.
