As The Bad Batch season 3 comes to a close, Star Wars fans can expect a brand-new six-episode animated series on Disney Plus. Here is how long the episodes are in Star Wars: Tales of the Empire.
Tales of the Empire Official Episode Runtime Revealed
The story of the Clone Force 99 escaping the Empire while protecting Omega has come to an end for now. This brings the animated universe of Star Wars to introduce a new storyline about the galaxy's biggest threat: Tales of the Empire.
The Bad Batch ended its run within three seasons at an average runtime of 40-51 minutes per episode. Considering that Tales of the Empire is shorter in comparison, the episodes are potentially less than an hour's runtime.
Since Tales of the Empire is Dave Filoni's highly anticipated second installment to 2022's Tales of the Jedi, fans can expect the same episode runtime length of approximately 10-15 minutes in the six episodes.
Tales of the Empire will be following The Clone Wars' former Jedi Barriss Offee and Ahsoka villain Morgan Elsbeth with the series set to bring special cameos such as Darth Vader and Grand Admiral Thrawn.
