Fans react hilariously as new trailer released for Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld

The upcoming Star Wars anthology will have six episodes and will explore the lives of Cad Bane and Asajj Ventress, who make up the galaxy's most notorious buddy-cop duo together. The fans have waited a long time to see the franchise explore the seedy underbelly of Star Wars and the coming series will provide them with a chance to see the galaxy’s worst criminals fail upward in increasingly ridiculous ways.

The trailer itself was a comedy goldmine and gave fans a glimpse into the chaos-filed extravaganza they are about to witness. Social media is ablaze with memes and speculation about the new series as fans flocked to social media to express their jubilation:

"Inject this into my veins rn", commented one enthusiastic fan (via X / @LaKsoh)

"Underworld, huh? Sounds like a galaxy far, far away from boring", quipped another fan (via X / @Vestoriin)

"#StarWars shows drop faster than stormtroopers miss shots. May 4? bruh i still catching up on the last 57 spinoffs", joked another (via X / @foopser)

The timing for the series couldn't have been more perfect. It's a running joke that Disney’s practically contractually obligated to drop something nerdy on 'May the Fourth', and this year, they’re giving us the chance to fully lean into the absurdity of the underworld. Fans were similarly chuffed at the trailer as they shared their views on X:

"HECK YEAH MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH ME", exclaimed one fan (via X / @DrcoMttheo)

"Lucasfilm finally remembered there’s more to the galaxy than Jedi trauma and Skywalker tears", joked another (via X / @Dr_wraith)

One of the joys of focusing on the underworld is that logic doesn’t have to apply. Fans know the drill, so they came up with similarly ridiculous takes about the direction the new series could take.

One of the biggest talking points from the trailer was the identity of the kid Ventress is protecting in the trailer, with some fans speculating that he might be Yoda's younger cousin while others hilariously suggested he could be the reincarnation of Luke Skywalker. Other fans speculated about the other characters we might encounter in the underworld:

"I SWEAR IF YALL BROUGHT LATTS RAZZI BACK JUST TO KILL HER OFF...", warned one fan (via X / @eccoxoo)

Ever since the fans saw her pulling off a heist effortlessly, they have been clamoring for her return ever since. They are ready to riot and march to the Disney headquarters with lightsabers if something happens to Razzi in the new Star Wars anthology. The irony here is that there's no guarantee that she is even going to make an appearance in the coming series, as nothing has been announced about her comeback yet.

But that hasn't stopped fans from spiraling into a preemptive civil war because, well, they feel like it. When has sound logic ever come up with trumps against mass hysteria, are we even surprised? Amid the chaos on the internet, one clueless soul (@redreaiderman1) meandered over to the timeline hoping to get an answer to his questions:

"Is this Star Trek related?", asked the fan

There's always that one fan who manages to confuse Star Wars with Star Trek, no matter how many times it has been explained to them. To them, Han Solo and Captain Kirk will always be the same guy.
