Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi "Life And Death"
I have reservations.
I thought it was too dark and scary. The killing of the deer creature and the giant tiger-looking thing stealing baby Ahsoka were both deeply upsetting. And regardless of whether I'm an adult or not, when I see that in a kids cartoon I'm still deeply affected by that. It's why I hated The Good Dinosaur.
This show was not off to a great start. **1/2.
Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi "Justice"
Dooku was a Jedi? Interesting. Equally interesting that Qui-Gonn Jinn was his Padawan.
Dooku's fury at the end was righteous, which is again why the episode is interesting. ****.
Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi "Choices"
Yet more proof that the Republic was unfathomably corrupt and was for decades. If Palpatine bought the Empire lock, stock and barrel by destroying the Republic, it's simply because the Republic was begging to be destroyed. If not for the fact that cronyism and corruption ruled the day, Palpatine could never have gotten the foothold he did.
You want more proof that the Galactic Senate is corrupt? Jar-Jar Binks, an utterly incompetent fool, was given a seat just because he was friends with Padme. The stink from the Republics rots from the head down. It's very interesting this show is suggesting Dooku Had His Reasons. ***1/2.
Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi "The Sith Lord"
Yikes!
A female Yoda named Yaddle? Um, okay.
It's interesting they got back Ian McDiarmid and Liam Neeson. It's also interesting how conflicted they made Dooku over his betrayal. This series is really pushing some of the morally gray buttons the saga used to refuse to push. ****.
Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi "Practice Makes Perfect"
It's like a lost episode of The Clone Wars.
Great (and confusing) ending too. ****1/2.
Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi "Resolve"
That was, in a word, GOOD.
It speaks to Ahsoka's fundamental decency that she helped the Village Brother and Sister even after the Brother's betrayal.
This answered a lot of questions as to what happened to Ahsoka right after The Clone Wars. It was cool. ****1/2.
