Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld

A welcome addition to the Star Wars saga, even if it doesn't break entirely new ground. It may not win over those fatigued by the franchise's expanding content, but for dedicated fans, it offers a surprisingly intimate and atmospheric glimpse into the darker corners of the galaxy. The animation is top-notch, the tone mature, and the storytelling focused. While its brevity leaves some arcs feeling a bit rushed, the emotional weight and character depth make up for it. This isn't Star Wars for newcomers - it's for those who've stuck with it and are looking for thoughtful, character-driven stories that respect the lore without relying on nostalgia.

Wasn't expecting much from Tales of the Underworld, but I was pleasantly surprised. For a short-form miniseries, it delivers solid storytelling, cool visuals, and a darker tone that fits the underworld vibe of Star Wars perfectly.

Episodes 4-6 stood out to me the most-there's a deeper look into a familiar character that longtime fans will enjoy. The overall plot is decent, though some twists are easy to predict if you're paying attention. Still, it works and doesn't feel lazy.

It starts fast, ends fast, and never overstays its welcome. Not a game-changer, but definitely worth watching-especially if you're into the criminal side of the galaxy.

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!

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.

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.
