Star Wars Shorts Featuring Baby Ahsoka, Count Dooku Backstory Coming to Disney+

The Creators of The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch are at it again for another epic animated peak into the prequel era of a Galaxy Far, Far, Away!

The project is called Tales of the Jedi, and it will be a series of shorts that explore how our favorite Star Wars heroes and villains became the characters we know and love today.

Lucasfilm released a trailer that teases a look at baby Ahsoka, a young Qui-Gon Jinn and Mace Windu, and Count Dooku before his fall to the Dark Side.

According to Collider, 

The new anthology series will be composed of six shorts; with three focusing on Ahsoka and her life, and three centered on Count Dooku. As the trailer reveals, they seem to be centered around different points and their parallel and conflicting journeys within the Jedi Order. And there are plenty of fan-favorite appearances from Anakin Skywalker, Yaddle, and so many others!
