Here's a Star Wars Day gift for you to unwrap: another instalment of the Star Wars Tales animated anthology, this one subtitled Tales Of The Empire.

While the previous Tales Of The Jedi focused on current big deal Ahsoka Tano and pivotal prequel/Clone Wars figure Count Dooku, this one takes a closer look at Nightsister Morgan Elspeth (bringing back the uber-cool Diana Lee Inosanto for voice acting duties) and fallen Jedi Barriss Offee (voiced once more by Meredith Salenger).
