This is not a show just about the adventures of the illustrious Jedi; it's a cautionary tale and a tragic one. It touches on some of the best stories to come from the animated Star Wars shows like The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.
If you take it as a given that “Star Wars” is going to indulge in what’s derisively referred to as “fan service,” then by all means, do it as well and as slickly as this.
The overall result, as overseen by Dave Filoni, is surprising and strong. Tales of the Jedi succeeds by saying exactly what it means to and then making its exit, sure to have viewers ready for more. Whether it’s ultimately a one-off season or the start of something greater, it’s worth Star Wars fans’ time to check it out.
A fun and worthwhile trip to the galaxy far, far away. The Dooku stories will be especially satisfying for Clone Wars fans, and Ahsoka remains a delight.
While the stories themselves are pretty fully told in their 11-15 minute runtimes, it’s definitely to the viewer’s advantage to watch all six episodes to get the full picture. ... Tales Of The Jedi brings some familiar prequel trilogy characters back to our screens, in stories that fill in more Clone Wars canon, which is always a plus.
Tales of the Jedi doesn’t have enough time to build out an intricate world and cast of its own. It’s left in an in-between state, simultaneously too light on narrative content and too laden with lore to stand by itself. ... If neither Ahsoka nor Dooku feel fully fleshed out in Tales of the Jedi, both are interesting enough to capture the 40-ish minutes of our time they each demand here.
Tales of the Jedi son dos historias distintas que no llegan a entremezclarse: Dooku y Ahsoka. Y ambas son muy distintas. Quizás me hubiese gustado más si fuese fan de Clone Wars y de Rebels, porque especialmente la parte de Ahsoka solo tiene sentido como fanservice fácil para esos fans. No aporta nada de realmente interés ni desarrollo de personaje ni nada. La parte de Dooku si que es más rica e interesante, un personaje que ha sido explorado mucho menos y que permite también dar contexto y riqueza a otros personajes familiares e interesantes. Si hubiesen hecho una película corta solo con la parte de Dooku, o incluso haberla desarrollado más y que no hubiese parte de Ahsoka, sin duda sería mejor como producto y como historia. Pero, demasiado a menudo, Star Wars es fan service sobre personajes que ya son demasiado conocidos, con vueltas de tuerca que ya no aportan demasiado.
The fights, especially the final one in the series, they are so very unsatisfying. No matter what the antagonist does, no matter how powerful they are, theyre one hit KOd. Plus the score has such an intensity to it. Then nothing happens, no payoff, just a cliche standoff them the easy kill. I dont know if this is for kids, maybe that explains it. But I have to think a lot of adults will watch because it gives some lore. Also its pretty bad to teach kids that they can approach and take a wild deadly creature. I mean shes riding the thing. Crazy. In the end im glad people like it. There are a couple good sequences.
I'm afraid to open my freezer because Ashoka... Fan-service becoming boring. Tales of Ashoka, Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin - nothing new, except quite embarrassing death of Yaddle... Don't bother with this show...
