StarWars: TalesoftheJedi offers rich backstories for beloved characters like Ahsoka and Count Dooku, but the Disney+ limited series lacks its own identity.
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Score Details “Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi is more Clone Wars comfort food that expands upon fan-favorite characters, but offers little that we haven't seen already.” Pros Cons As Andor pushes Star Wars to new levels of thematic nuance, narrative maturity, and production value, some fans have taken its success as an opportunity to deride the other Star Wars stories around it.
Nevertheless, The Clone Wars is certainly the more popular show. Its fanbase is vast, and Disney+ has been particularly kind to it, dropping ostensibly four more seasons of the series: the proper, final Clone Wars season, two seasons of The Bad Batch, and now Tales of the Jedi. Understanding this context is critical to understanding both Tales’ strengths and weaknesses.
As such, Tales of the Jedi is easy to recommend to anyone who already enjoys The Clone Wars, but that’s not an emphatic recommendation. What made the previous animated shows so effective was how they found an interesting balance between expanding previously-established lore and building on top of it.
Dooku’s final episode becomes a bit too constricting in how tightly it wraps around the plot beats of The Phantom Menace, but it nonetheless allows for moments of emotional reflection that deepen the Count. Although, its pacing feels a bit stilted, which is a problem across the entire series. Each vignette’s ability to feel cohesive and complete in roughly 10 to 15 minutes is variable. Some do work well with their truncated runtime.
