Star Wars: Histórias do Submundo

I have been a huge star wars fan since watching the prequel trilogy in the movies but i have not been that into star wars content in the past few years except for some shows mostly animated which i think almost always hit the mark when it comes to making star wars something that fits George's vision. Tales of the underworld hits all the marks that i think are needed for a quality star wars product and this makes me think every star wars show should be animated because quite frankly I think every animated show so far that has been created by filoni has been everything that the live action shows are not.

Like every year (for the past couple of years), Star Wars offers us the premiere of an animated series on "May the 4th be with you" that expands a bit on the lore of characters we've met in the prequels, the Mandalorian, animated series, etc.

In addition to the excellent "Tales of the Jedi" and the average "Tales of the Empire," we now have this third version, "Tales of the Underworld." Far inferior to the first but considerably better than the second, it offers us two sets of three episodes, the first focusing on Asajj Ventress and the second on Cad Bane.

The result? A very interesting first half that leaves us wanting more, and a rather average sequel that fails to generate much interest.

I suppose that with the fans' responses, those in charge of Star Wars will gather data on which stories interest us most and which less.

Hopefully, this will result in more series like "Mandalorian" or "Andor" and less "Acolyte" or "Kenobi." In short, an entertaining batch of episodes to binge-watch in one afternoon.

I didn't know this was coming out today and I'm usually late to be one of the first to review anything so that's a nice surprise.

The Tales of the .... has become some of my favorite new star wars media. The level of character development it's top notch. I loved what they did in Tales of the Empire and Tales of the Jedi. Dave Filoni makes great stuff.

This was just a good story about one of Asajj Ventress's adventures and Cad Bane. I like the new stories of characters from Clone Wars. It's great seeing old characters on screen again. Even the little clip of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan together was awesome.

Let me get this out of the way. I am a huge Star Wars fan, but like most people have not liked everything that Disney has done. I loved tales of the Jedi, but in all honesty hated tales of the empire. So I was worried, yet cautiously optimistic about tales of the underworld.

However, I was pleasantly surprised. Without giving any spoilers, the Asajj Ventress storyline I found fine. Nothing amazing, but it was not a character assassination like they did with Barris. Some cool fights, but overall pretty forgettable.

Then I get to Bane. From the very start, you could see they were much more inspired. Banes backstory was super interesting, and you could see the character development throughout, and it crescendos perfectly with the final episode. I really really hope we get more Bane content from these creators, they absolutely killed it! I eagerly anticipate next years "tales" series!

There little tales are usually ok, but could be better. They are far too short. They definitely need to be longer. With 10 episodes, with 5 episodes each for each characters storyline. At 20, 25 minutes long would be better. 3 episodes at 15 mins or less isn't enough for a story development. There is a lot of stories that could be told about asajj ventress. She is a very interesting character. Since clone wars finished. There is definitely room for a big story development. I wasn't keen on bad batch. It didn't interest me. We definitely need to get back to the routes of star wars. It's lost it's way.
