When Does Tales of the Empire Premiere on Disney+?
All six episodes of Tales of the Empire will debut on Disney+ on Saturday, May 4, 2024. This marks a break from the Tuesday slot Lucasfilm and Disney+ typically reserve for shows set in a galaxy far, far away. That said, it’s also consistent with both the production company and streaming platform making a big deal of May 4, which many fans celebrate as “Star Wars Day.” (It’s a play on “May the Force Be With You” – geddit?)

Other animated Star Wars productions that dropped on May 4 include The Bad Batch Season 1, Young Jedi Adventures Season 1, and Star Wars: Visions Season 2. Whether Lucasfilm and Disney have anything else special planned for Star Wars Day is unclear for now, although it seems likely. We may even get a sneak peek at high-profile projects such as The Acolyte, The Mandalorian & Grogu, and Skeleton Crew. This is pure speculation for now, though.
What Is Star Wars: Tales of the Empire About?
But regardless of what else Disney and Lucasfilm are (or aren’t) cooking up, we’ll definitely get Tales of the Empire on May 4. What should we expect from it, when it finally arrives? Plenty of shadowy shenanigans, if the official Tales of the Empire synopsis is anything to go by. Check it out below.
