During a panel at Calgary Expo 2024, Diana Lee Inosanto teased Morgan Elsbeth’s backstory in Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, the six-episode anthology series streaming on Disney+ from May 4th.
“My experience is unique as this is a new character that started off in live-action, so, in many ways, I felt that this character might have been still evolving. Things were kind of spoon-fed,” she started, explaining her time working with Ahsoka showrunner Dave Filoni. “Dave knows exactly what he’s doing. He may still be investigating ideas. I’m looking forward to Tales of the Empire because his fingerprint is all over this. To go into Morgan Elsbeth’s backstory, you’re going to see more of the history that he would have wanted the world to know. It will make sense when it ties into The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. That’s the brilliance of a Dave Filoni. He’s brilliant in that way.”
“I feel so honored and grateful that they are continuing to share Morgan Elsbeth’s story. [ Tales of the Empire ] will go into a lot of how everything happens. You will know why Morgan is wired the way she is . I think you would be quite surprised and quite pleased with Tales of the Empire. It is next-level animation . I was stunned, and I have to give a shout-out to the animation team at Lucasfilm. I got to meet with them a few weeks ago, and I was amazed at how they did the martial arts sequences. They did an amazing job.”
We cannot wait to talk about Tales of the Empire, the new six-episode anthology series available to stream from May 4th on Disney+.
