Disney Announces Return of Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane in Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld

Disney has released the first trailer for the new chapter of the Star Wars Tales anthology, dedicated to the criminal world of a galaxy far, far away. Six episodes entitled Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld will be released on the Disney Plus streaming platform on May 4, International Star Wars Day.

Although the trailer doesn't reveal any plot details, it has been revealed that the series will focus on two iconic characters from the universe. The first storyline will tell about the former mercenary Asajj Ventress, who is one step away from a new life. The second story will feature the adventures of bounty hunter Cad Bane, who meets an old friend who now finds himself on the other side of the law.

Judging by the trailer, all episodes of Tales of the Underworld will be entirely dedicated to the stories of Ventress and Bane.
