With the release of Tales of the Underworld, Disney+ officially unveiled a brand new collection in its Star Wars library that has made both franchise and Disney+ history. Tales of the Underworld premiered on Star Wars Day (May 4) on Disney+, continuing the anthology-style Tales of the... series of animated shorts. The show features seven actors from other Star Wars projects.
After all six episodes of Tales of the Underworld premiered on Disney+, the platform created a new collection of Star Wars projects titled "Star Wars Tales." The collection includes Tales of the Jedi, Tales of the Empire, and the newly released Tales of the Underworld. With the release of this collection, Disney+ history was made as it is the only Star Wars collection to feature Star Wars projects exclusively distributed by Disney.
Other collections, such as the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" collection, feature projects that were made in the Disney era, but they also include projects from when George Lucas was the mastermind behind the franchise. The "Star Wars Tales" collection does not include any projects from Lucas' time. It is also worth mentioning that the "Star Wars Tales" collection made even more history as it is the first Star Wars collection to only feature projects that are Disney+ originals.
However, "Star Wars Tales" continues to make history as it is also the only Star Wars Disney+ collection to feature only animated projects.
The banner featured at the top of the "Star Wars Tales" collection has three distinct sections that highlight the two main characters from each show. The left side features Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee as they represent Tales of the Empire, the middle includes Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku from Tales of the Jedi, and then the right side showcases Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane from Tales of the Underworld.
Including "Star Wars Tales," Disney+ has five total collections under its Star Wars umbrella.

The "Star Wars: Darth Vader" collection features nearly every project that includes Darth Vader on-screen, even if they are not in canon (the LEGO specials).
