Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There are so many parts of the Star Wars universe that the franchise could explore using Star Wars: Tales of the Empire’s anthology format. Star Wars: Tales of the Empire and its predecessor, Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, delved deeper into the stories of individual members of the Jedi Order and the Empire. Tales of the Jedi focused on Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku.
There are so many compelling Sith characters that influenced the Star Wars galaxy and Darth Sidious’ rise to power. Sidious’ own Master, Darth Plaguies, for instance, had an interest in immortality, something that Sidious himself became incredibly invested in. Then there’s Plaguies’ master, Darth Tenebrous, who may be the Sith being teased in Star Wars’ upcoming High Republic-era show, Star Wars: The Acolyte. Then, of course, there’s Darth Bane, who implemented the Sith’s “Rule of Two.
Most interestingly, however, "Tales of the First Order" could focus on those who were essentially forced to become First Order stormtroopers when they were young, like Finn and Jannah. How was that operation implemented? How were they trained and brainwashed? How many decided to fight back and leave, as those in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker did? Barriss Offee turned her back on the Empire in Tales of the Empire, too.
In terms of character studies, Captain Carson Teva would certainly be a worthy candidate, as would Mon Mothma. This series could also potentially dive into the politics of the Senate, which hasn’t had a massive impact on the so-called Mandoverse’s live-action storytelling but certainly impacted the galaxy at large at the time. There is plenty more to learn about the New Republic era.
So much of Star Wars’ vital history takes place during the Old Republic era. The Sith Order was created during this time, several thousand years before the Skywalker saga ever began. Several Jedi broke away from the Jedi Order so that they could wholly embrace the dark side of the Force, which led to the Hundred-Year War between the Jedi and the Sith and the creation of Darth Bane’s Rule of Two.
