Pedro Pascal stars as Din Djarin in “The Mandalorian,” while Ashley Eckstein plays Ahsoka Tano in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” Lucasfilm/Disney+ has brought “Star Wars” a long way since George Lucas’ original trilogy of movies, including the introduction of a number of TV shows set in the beloved galaxy far, far away. In this article, we’ll be ranking every “Star Wars” TV show from worst to best, providing insights and evaluations for each.
At the bottom of the list is “Star Wars Resistance” (2018), an animated series set in the sequel era of the franchise. While it offers some entertainment value and fits well within the timeline of “The Force Awakens,” “The Last Jedi,” and “The Rise of Skywalker,” it doesn’t bring anything significant to the table. The animation style is also lacking, with its chaotic colors and brightness. Despite solid vocal work from the cast, the main story falls short of expectations.
Next, we have “The Book of Boba Fett” (2021), which unfortunately disappoints after the character’s highly-anticipated return in “The Mandalorian” season two. Rather than embodying the ruthless Boba Fett fans were hoping for, the show portrays Boba as a crime boss with actions that don’t align with his established personality. It does have some redeeming qualities, such as Boba’s partnership with Fennec Shand and his interactions with the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine. However, the best episodes actually center around Din Djarin and Grogu, making it feel more like an extension of “The Mandalorian” rather than a standalone series.
“Tales of the Jedi” (2022) serves as a companion piece to “The Clone Wars” and “The Bad Batch,” offering insight into the backstories of key Jedi knights. While the episodes provide context for characters’ decisions in the movies and other TV shows, there isn’t enough depth to warrant an entire series. The lack of groundbreaking storytelling is offset by the impressive Inquisitor designs showcased in the finale.
Then we have “Star Wars: Clone Wars” (2003), an earlier series that stands out as unique compared to other animated shows. Created by Genndy Tartakovsky, known for his work on “Samurai Jack” and “Primal,” this series pushes the boundaries of children’s TV with its mature themes and introduction of the grisly villain Durge. The only downside is that the episodes are too short, making it feel more like snapshots of specific battles rather than required viewing.
“The Bad Batch” (2021) acts as a spiritual sequel to “The Clone Wars,” following a group of clones with genetic mutations as they navigate the aftermath of Order 66 and the rise of the Empire. The show strikes a balance between suitable content for kids and engaging storytelling for older viewers, exploring the clones’ perspective on the Jedi’s demise and the Empire’s evolution. However, the “adventure of the week” episodes occasionally disrupt the overall flow.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi” (2022) brings back Ewan McGregor as the titular character, picking up a decade after the events of “Revenge of the Sith.” The series delves into Obi-Wan’s internal struggle following his duel with former apprentice Anakin Skywalker. While it features outstanding performances and an emotional duel between Obi-Wan and Vader, the severity is tempered by the knowledge that neither can die prior to the original trilogy. Some plot deviations and subpar visual effects detract from the show’s potential.
“The Mandalorian” (2019) made an undeniable impact with the introduction of Baby Yoda, captivating audiences worldwide. The series not only explored the endearing relationship between the Mandalorian and Grogu but also delved into Mandalorian culture, expanding on fan-favorite characters and their stories. While some storytelling choices in the recent season have been divisive, “The Mandalorian” sets the bar for other “Star Wars” shows and expands the universe in a joyous and exciting way.
“Star Wars Rebels” (2014) initially appears lighthearted and silly but quickly distinguishes itself as one of the best shows in the franchise. Set just before “A New Hope,” it follows a new group of characters who play pivotal roles in building the Rebel Alliance. The series flawlessly explores the mythology of the Jedi and Sith, blending adventure and depth to create a compelling narrative.
Each “Star Wars” TV show offers something unique and contributes to the overall universe in its own way. Despite varying quality, they all contribute to the rich tapestry of the beloved franchise.
