The anthology series will follow the adventures of the Jedi Order during the prequel era, with shorts focused on Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. Liam Neeson (who doesn’t do TV!) will also return to voice the Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn.

The stories that will focus on Ahsoka will visit different times of her life, whilst the tales of Dooku will feature a young Qui-Gon, voiced by Liam Neeson’s son. These episodes will be darker in tone that the rest of the series.
Charles Murray has assisted Dave Filoni in the writing on the series.
