“Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi” First Reactions

October 18, 2022 Roger Palmer

Disney’s next animated Star Wars adventure is “Tales Of The Jedi”, which is an anthology collection of six all-new animated shorts that have been created by Dave Filoni (“Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” “Star Wars Rebels”).

Based on Star Wars and characters created by George Lucas, the series is set during the prequel era and spotlights important moments in the lives of fan-favourite characters Ahsoka Tano and Jedi-turned-Sith Lord Count Dooku as they embark on respective paths toward heroism and villainy.

Some critics, including myself, have been able to watch all six shorts, and the social media reaction embargo has now lifted, so we can share our early thoughts on the series, with a full review coming out on October 26th, which is when the series is released on Disney+.

Here are my thoughts on the brand-new short series:
