All 13 Star Wars shows ranked from worst to best

8. Tales of the Jedi

Oh, Tales of the Jedi, where do we begin? Firstly, it’s like a little snack-sized treat in a buffet of Star Wars feasts. With only six episodes, you’d think they’d pack each one with galaxy-shaking revelations, but nah. Instead, we got two stories that, although interesting, only left us wanting more. And not necessarily in the “leave them wanting more” kind of way, but more like, “Wait, that’s it?” Plus, while it’s cool to see the same voice cast and animation team from The Clone Wars come back and work together, it still felt like something was missing.

Understanding what’s going on in Tales of the Jedi isn’t crucial to the lore, either, which is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, yay – we can skip an episode or two if we happen to snooze off. But on the other hand, if it’s not super important to the overarching story, then why dip our toes in the pool without diving in?

All in all, Tales of the Jedi might not be the main event, but it’s still Star Wars.

7. Ahsoka

With so much anticipation over the legendary Ahsoka Tano’s debut and the task of setting the stage for an upcoming blockbuster, you’d think it’d be easy to get a bit…overwhelmed? And that might just be what happened.

Ahsoka undeniably has some of the best of the Star Wars lore to offer us, and a dose of delightful antics (because who doesn’t want to see murderously cheerful droids?). However, it’s a bit like trying to juggle thermal detonators — impressive when done right, but a slight misstep and you’ve got pacing and continuity problems big enough to rival the expanse of the galaxy.

Now, don’t get me wrong. The show wasn’t just a combination of Star Wars elements thrown together in a Purrgil-sized salad bowl. It did add a few layers and some more depth to a universe we thought we knew and keeps changing every time I sneeze without offering any kind of explanation, serving up revelations about the Force that would make even Yoda raise an eyebrow. And the introduction of Baylan Skoll? Genius move. Ray Stevenson, may he rest in peace, brought to life a villain that had the potential of having Darth Vader asking for autographs.

But, while Ahsoka swayed and danced on the precipice of greatness, it might’ve been more successful had it narrowed its focus and not tried so hard to give us all a new Star Wars generational/original story.
