“Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi ss 2”: release date, announcement

The continuation of the space anthology “Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi” has not been officially announced. The project came out as a mini-series and is most likely a finished project.

Plot

The animated picture follows two paths, one of which turns out to be the life of Ahsoka Tano. In the tribe where she was born, mothers went hunting when the child was one year old. So Ahsoka’s mother, Pav-ti, took a one-year-old girl with her and went to the forest near her native village to hunt for prey. The sortie was unsuccessful: Pav-ti stumbled upon a deer, but barely knocking him down, she was at gunpoint of a beast that looked like a tiger.

The uphill battle ended with Ahsoka being kidnapped. The girl was stolen by the same tiger Pav-ti tried to shoot. The whole village gathered to search, but no one managed to find Ahsoka. And when the parents were preparing to mourn their child, a tiger appeared from the forest, who, riding on himself, brought the child. Thus the tribe learned that a powerful Jedi had been born among them.

Another episode of the season 1 told about the ghost planet where Jedi Master Dooku and Qui-Gon Jinn went. The gift of persuasion helps them resolve the controversial situation with the hostage, as well as help the inhabitants of the planet gain freedom and independence from external encroachments. Later, it becomes known about the mysterious death of a Jedi, which Count Dooku and Mace Windu will have to solve.

Qui-Gon becomes aware that there may be Sith on Tatooine, and together with Dooku they have to find out if this is true. When Qui-Gon dies, Yaddle finds out that Dooku was trained by Darth Sidious, and that changes everything.

The next episode will show Anakin Skywalker, whose approach to Ahsoka’s training seems extremely harsh. After the death of Padme Amidala, the powerful queen of Naboo, Ahsoka has to go into hiding and become a farmer for a while. Padme idolized Ahsoka when she was still very young and even tried to protect her from evil spirits.

There are many such stories, and each hero has a true reason to be on the dark side or the light side. Soon the audience will meet familiar characters, but in a different guise — Ahsoka was not always the way we used to see her, and Count Dooku will still be able to surprise everyone…
