The episode titles for the upcoming animated anthologyStar Wars: Tales of the Jedihave leaked, and they appear to offer fans a clue of what to expect when the miniseries finally drops. The premiere is only a short time away, butStar Warsfans are nothing if not perpetually hungry for more.
Thanks to an uncovered press kit document, anyone interested can now see the titles of theStar Wars: Tales of the Jediepisodes themselves and even the writers and directors behind each one. Some of the more involvedStar Warsfaithful out there will likely be overjoyed at the fact thatLucasfilm favorite Dave Filoniis pretty directly involved with all 6 episodes, given his well-received track record with the franchise. But those interested should also take note of the other folks involved behind the scenes, even if they might not recognize the names at a glance.

The document, discovered by users on theStar WarsLeaks subreddit, lists the episode titles as “Life and Death,” “Justice,” “The Sith Lord,” “Practice Makes Perfect,” “Coda,” and “Choices.” Filoni is involved with each, usually as a writer and executive producer. But he’s joined by several veterans of shows likeStar Wars: The Clone WarsandStar Wars Rebels, which should perk up a few ears. Pretty much every animatedStar Warsseries is represented here by people who worked on them, and that’s a good thing.
“Life and Death” will be directed by Nathaniel Villanueva, who directed several episodes ofThe Clone WarsandThe Bad Batchand served in the art department for both shows along withRebels. The next 4 have Saul Ruiz at the helm, who boasts directing experience with each of the aforementioned series and evenStar Wars Resistance. The final episode brings in Charles Murray as director and writer, who not only wrote forStar Wars Rebelsand some of the best-received later episodes ofThe Clone Warsbut also served as a producer for Netflix’s (and now Disney Plus') excellentEaster egg-laden superhero seriesLuke Cage. This episode also includes Élan Murray in the writing position.
Aside from the writers and directors, the document also confirmed the voice cast forTales of the Jedi. Many of the voice actors are expected, with a number ofThe Clone Warsveterans reprising their roles. This includes Ashley Eckstein reprising Ahsoka Tano, Corey Burton as Count Dooku, TC Carson as Mace Windu, Phil LaMarr as Bail Organa, Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker, and James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi. They’ll be joined bytheBorderlandsmovie’s Janina Gavankaras Ahsoka’s mother Pav-ti, Ian McDiarmid once again playing Darth Sidious/Palpatine, and Clancy Brown as an unnamed Inquisitor. Perhaps most notably, Liam Neeson’s son Micheál Richardson will play a young Qui-Gon Jinn, while Neeson himself will reprise his role as the more aged version.
It sounds like a lot to look forward to, and between the cast and crew behind each episode, there’s bound to be plenty of the high-quality that fans have come to expect from the animatedStar Warsofferings. Here’s hopingTales of the Jedidoes something fresh and new with the material it’s been given.
