Tales of the Jedi--A Waste of a Good Premise

This show was neat, but it left a lot to be desired. Hoping for an improvement in potential follow-ups.

If you want to criticize TOTJ for contradicting lore, there are plenty of examples to choose from. It’s beyond me that you picked an episode that doesn’t adhere to that criticism. Something something hating just to hate something something

I love how we lost all of the EU to avoid contradictions and yet Disney can’t go 1 year without contradicting their OWN content

[kingbash]

Crazy how "Tales of the Jedi" is a series that only focuses on 2 jedi.

[TomBrawns]

IMO, Dooku is the most wasted character in canon. Nobody ever talks about him and I'd honestly think his story could be WAY more interesting than even Anakin. Imagine an Andor style Dooku trilogy, now that's something I'd watch!

[darksideorseid]

I felt like episode 1 should've been focused on Plo and Ahsoka

[sarahcook]

I liked the Dooku episodes, but they did feel pretty rushed, and I honestly prefer the Legends backstory where he turns to the darkside after Qui Gon’s death.

Big rant cos I need to vent...

Dooku losing control and choking people out of emotion really made me think that they got his character wrong.
I like the idea that he left the jedi order as a conscious decision that was based more around facts of what he knew to be right then feelings.

He always came across like a very in control kinda guy who always made consice decisions even in the heat of the moment. I dont like the idea that Disney defines being a part of the dark side as having to be someone who needlessly inflicts pain and being rash. I feel like it removes several layers of depth his story had of him leaving the order.

Also how nobody is pissed off that yaddle got turned into puddle and her bones were turned to powder by the big fuck off door and just lifted it up and managed to seamlessly reverse pancake herself is beyond me, I dont know how people watch this and dont face palm out of feeling as patronised as I did.

It’s amazing how much they can undo their own canon without even trying

_”Something like that happened to me, yknow...I can’t exactly remember what it was—sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another. If I’m gonna have a backstory I prefer it to be MULTIPLE CHOICE!”_

I’m tired of Ahsoka. It also feels like Filoni’s going over his head.

[Molten-Throne]

The best Disney can offer us is potential, it’s sad.




Except Andor. That absolutely slaps.

[Fi_Sci_]

I can imagine how much more worthwhile Tales would’ve been had it been given a longer Runtime. 15 minutes just wasn’t enough for the stories being told to truly settle.

Andor takes an hour of time to settle its story’s and it works. Animation is difficult for sure, but had we been given 30 minutes at the very least Tales of The Jedi could’ve left a bigger impact than the short stories we were given.

I love how people shit on the carefully curated world of the EU for being convoluted without ever reading any of them and then go off to talk about how fantastic CW and basically all of Disney is....
Pre 09 is the only Star Wars for me (some awesome EU entries up through the official buyout too (((oh and Rogue One, i can forgive no Bothans and some minor details for an overall well-made story))), but at large the Golden Age was during the resurgence caused by the prequels)

Also really wish they stuck with the original story of Dooku's fall and leaving of the Order, I really enjoy the story between him and Komari plus it sets up Ventress
PS your wishes for Dooku's fall is so much more well done in the comics with things like the atrocities on Galidraan, his Padawan going nuts over him and becoming twisted by her rejection not only by Dooku, but from the Order, as well as Qui-Gon's death being the nail in the coffin. He actually left the order before his fall btw too in the EU

[dibsdibs]

Mr. Talks, you forgot to mention Filoni’s classic problem of changing Yaddle’s lightsaber color from orange to green.

[austinclark]

I actually LOVED Tales fo the Jedi! I hope it gets more seasons!

[happysad]

This show was good . I wish they were longer episodes

[VictoryReviews]

Dookus turn to the dark side should be its own film tbh

[personofinterest]

I'll never understand the need for the pilot with Ahsoka's backstory, pure unnecessary 'fanservice' if you can even call it that as no one seems to like it

[thequietman]

Yoda:Dark Rendezvous is the best Dooku story. I have spoken

[Seminooos]

Dooku definitely needs to be fleshed out more. I hope we see more of him sometime soon. For example I want to know how he met Sideous for the first time and why he chose to start working with him before Qui Gon died.
