All 13 Star Wars shows ranked from worst to best

12. Obi-Wan Kenobi

This show still leaves a pretty bittersweet taste in my mouth. This was the show that many of us were excited for but also unfortunately left us asking, “Do we really need this?”

Sure, seeing Ewan McGregor dive back into his iconic role is a sight to behold and witnessing the amazing chemistry and reunion between him and Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader made us all giddy and excited for epic showdowns and a lot of good stories. But when the nostalgia goggles came off, I quickly noticed that the show is essentially a Star Wars reunion in a slightly modified backdrop, and with a lot more whining.

Let’s be honest, the charm of Obi-Wan Kenobi heavily depends on how much one adores the prequel trilogy. Don’t get us wrong, the admittedly adorable yet fully fan-serviced appearance of a young Princess Leia was amazing, but the show felt more like a class reunion where you see old friends, but there’s just not much else happening. And Obi-Wan’s state of mind does make sense to a certain degree, but you can’t tell me you legitimately expected Obi-Wan, the Jedi Master, to cut himself off from the Force and take a backseat to grief instead of trying to gather Jedi across the galaxy? Or without any exciting adventures? Yeah. That wasn’t it for me.

Too much time was spent on a whole lot of nothing. Again, an e-mail or a movie would have sufficed.

11. Star Wars Resistance

While many other Star Wars tales make us clutch our lightsabers in excitement, The Resistance left some of us wondering if the Force took a… tiny nap. Sure, it has its shiny moments, but the storyline seemed to wobble and hiccup a bit too much. Some die-hard fans have compared its narrative depth to a puddle on Naboo: pretty to look at, but not too deep. The series follows Kazuda Xiono, a New Republic pilot recruited by the Resistance to spy on the growing threat of the First Order, which takes place shortly before and during the events of the sequel trilogy. The Force took a tiny nap… but then it awakened. Okay, I’ll see myself out.

But before we throw it into the Sarlacc pit of Star Wars shows, let’s give credit where credit is due. The animation Is nice and refreshing, and the story does try to fill some gaps and throw some lore-related amendments and facts so things flow into the sequel trilogy a bit better. For what It’s worth, The Resistance certainly has its squadron of dedicated fans – maybe it’s the unique animation style or the fresh perspective on the lore and universe. However, for many, it still falls a little short. It’s Star Wars, yes, but perhaps not the galaxy-shattering epic we’ve come to expect and crave.
