"Star Wars: Underworld Tales Now on Disney+"
It’s officially Star Wars Day, and this year’s celebration comes with something truly exciting for fans—a brand-new animated series to stream. *Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld* brings together two of the most compelling figures from the Star Wars underworld: the skilled assassin Asajj Ventress and the notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane. Set within the expansive Star Wars universe, the series delves into their complex journeys as they navigate the treacherous layers of galactic crime and personal redemption.
This latest installment marks the third entry in the “Tales of” anthology series, following the success of *Tales of the Jedi* and *Tales of the Empire*. Both Ventress and Bane were originally introduced by Dave Filoni in *The Clone Wars*, and *Tales of the Underworld* expands on their stories with deeper character exploration and high-stakes storytelling. If you're looking for fresh Star Wars content to enjoy this weekend, here's everything you need to know about the series.
