Tales[1] is an American animated anthology consisting of limited run television series created by Dave Filoni for the streaming service Disney+. Each installment consists of six shorts that explore different characters from the Star Wars franchise. The first, Tales of the Jedi, explores Jedi from the prequel trilogy era, while the second, Tales of the Empire, explores characters related to the Galactic Empire. The series is produced by Lucasfilm Animation, with Charles Murray as head writer and Filoni as supervising director.

Filoni began writing Tales of the Jedi, also known as Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, while working on the Star Wars series The Mandalorian. He revealed the first official details about the series in May 2022. It follows two "paths", one focused on the character Ahsoka Tano (voiced by Ashley Eckstein) and the other on the character Count Dooku (voiced by Corey Burton). Tales of the Jedi was released on Disney+ on October 26, 2022, and received critical acclaim, with praise towards its animation, writing, and musical score.

A second installment was announced in April 2023, and was revealed a year later to be titled Tales of the Empire. Also known as Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, it is again split into two arcs: one follows Morgan Elsbeth (voiced by Diana Lee Inosanto) and the other follows former Jedi Barriss Offee (voiced by Meredith Salenger). Tales of the Empire was released on May 4, 2024.
