Star Wars: Tales of the Empire

So for the good, the visuals are done well. There are new aliens and certain elements flow well, made some decent connections and ended a question of one empirial operative.

As for the bad, some returning characters were visually revamped which I found unnecessary. A chunk of what I watched left me failing to see the characters logic and connection from pre and post empire. I get the idea but the character came off hypocritical to me. It doesn't have to be a hard negative but it would be if this is where the trail ends.

Neutral, the final episode had me wondering if it's intended to be continued or if that was it. If it is good, if not well what happens next?

Overall I found it watchable and others may enjoy it more or less than I did. There's good about it but plot wise and doesn't have the same connection or feeling of how a character got to the point they were at in other shows, like tales of a jedi did.

An animated Star Wars miniseries where the appeal lies in the fact that the protagonists are the villains.

It's entertaining but only suitable for fans. It lacks originality, and its production level is far from the highest standard of the saga.

It fulfills its purpose, but it leaves a bittersweet taste by showing much greater potential in this Sith-centered storyline. In the end, the villains are not being properly utilized in the latest series, which is unfortunate.

Of course, it features plenty of deep lore, which is always well-received by fans of the saga, making it one of its strongest points.

It's worth noting that this production consists of only six episodes, each about fifteen minutes long, so watching it in one sitting is the most common approach.

A decent animated short series in the same vein as Tales of The Jedi last year. I prefer Jedi slightly over this just because of Dooku's storyline.

The Morgan plot was a bit underwhelming. And I don't think she deserved an arc to herself. The ending wasn't that good too.

The Barriss storyline was much better, especially the first 2 episodes which were dark, and broody, and got the aesthetics right. Even though I was left a bit disappointed with the conclusion of her arc. I like a redemption arc, but not sure if she deserved one.

Now hoping for Tales of The Sith next year on Star Wars Day. May the 4th be with you.

"Tales of the Empire" is a delightful gem in the vast galaxy of Star Wars content. As a fan who watched this series alongside the disappointing "The Acolyte," I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and storytelling prowess of this show. The intricate narratives, well-developed characters, and attention to detail in world-building truly set "Tales of the Empire" apart.

The series manages to capture the essence of the Star Wars universe while offering a fresh perspective on the Empire's inner workings. Each episode delves into the lives of characters with complexity and nuance, making it easy to become emotionally invested in their journeys. The production quality is top-notch, with stunning visuals and captivating performances that transport viewers to a galaxy far, far away.

After experiencing the lackluster storytelling of "The Acolyte," "Tales of the Empire" was a breath of fresh air. It proves that there is still hope for meaningful and engaging content within the Star Wars franchise. I wholeheartedly recommend this series to any fan craving a more fulfilling and satisfying Star Wars experience.

Here's to more content like "Tales of the Empire" that honors the legacy of Star Wars while pushing boundaries and exploring new horizons. May the Force continue to guide us on thrilling adventures through the galaxy!

I'm no Filoni worshipper but I rather liked the refreshing brevity and continuity curiosity of 2022's Tales of the Jedi. This follow-up is... far less interesting and I'd hardly say The Mandalorian's Morgan Elsbeth and Clone Wars minor character Barriss Offee are of the same stature as Ahsoka and Dooku. Not only that but neither of them are particularly Empire-tastic. More... Empire adjacent. That being said, I still do like the shortness of the episodes, but it all feels very throwaway and more of an afterthought than a project in its own right or even a continuation of the first set of stories.
