Star Wars Day is very nearly upon us – this year ‘May the 4th’ falls on a Saturday, and you can expect to learn plenty more about what’s in store for Disney’s massive sci-fi universe.
While the day is likely to hold plenty of surprises, and we’re certainly expecting another trailer for the upcoming live-action showThe Acolyte, we know at least one new show will be launching on the day itself.
Tales of the Empirewill launch on 4 May onDisney+, which at this point isn’t just thebest streaming servicefor Star Wars fans, it’s basically theonlystreaming service worth considering for the Disney franchise.
Although they’ll be independent, though, these shorts will definitely feature recognisable and well-known characters. The trailer shows glimpses of Darth Vader, who is a bit of a must-have if you’re focusing on the Empire, but also the fan-favourite: General Grievous.

Star Wars Day will be the start of a likely very busy month forStar Warsfans, since the end of May also brings Star Wars Celebration, the annual convention and event for the franchise.
This will probably see more trailers drop, but also might give us a chance to hear more from Disney about some of the interesting projects it’s announced – not the least of which is Daisy Ridley’s return as Rey in another full-blown movie at some point down the line.
