Development


Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi was officially announced on April 27, 2022, as part of a schedule of panels for the upcoming Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 convention. A panel about Tales of the Jedi was held on May 28, the third day of the convention, hosted by Amy Ratcliffe with Dave Filoni as a special guest. The existence of the series was first leaked in December 2021 through a logo included on a Lucasfilm employee Christmas gift, images of which were released on the Internet. It was later hinted at by Kevin Kiner, who worked on the music for Tales of the Jedi, and described it as an upcoming animated project that they couldn't talk about. The show shares its name with Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, a comic book maxiseries in the Star Wars Legends continuity published by Dark Horse Comics between the years 1993 and 1998. A trailer was released at D23.
