Carrie Beck, senior vice president of development and production at Lucasfilm, asked if Filoni wanted to turn these into a series, which he compared to her “find[ing] the money” for a revival of his animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars on the streaming service Disney+.[12] In December 2021, the logo for Tales of the Jedi was included on holiday gifts for Lucasfilm employees alongside logos for upcoming film and television projects at the studio.
