It’ll be an entertaining May the Fourth binge, and likely an engrossing one for Star Wars fans of all levels.
Small but perfectly formed, Tales Of The Empire is a dark, delicious treat for deep Star Wars fans. ‘Tales Of The Rebellion’ next, please!

L'idea alla base di questa nuova serie animata è, per quanto mi riguarda, quanto di più interessante ci possa essere in termini di esplorazione della lore di Star Wars. Andor e The Mandalorian sono state la dimostrazione di come i retroscena dell'Impero Galattico riservino delle storie intriganti e avvincenti, che non vedevo l'ora venissero esplorate ulteriormente in Tales Of The Empire; e sulla carta questa serie vorrebbe fare proprio questo, riuscendoci però purtroppo solo a metà. Da un lato infatti soffre dei problemi che nascono dalla breve durata e dallo scarso numero di episodi, insufficienti ad articolare in maniera soddisfacente le varie vicende narrate inerenti **** che non hanno sufficiente background da compensare per questa mancanza. Dall'altro le protagoniste dei due archi narrativi che questa serie affronta sono rese in maniera poco interessante, laddove si poteva fare molto di più per alzarle al di sopra della media dei vari **** secondari di Star Wars in cui si trovano. Un altro problema risiede nel fatto che dell'Impero e dei rapporti tra esso e le protagoniste si vede ben poco, nonostante il ritorno di **** molto amati come Darth Vader, Thrawn e il Grande Inquisitore; sono sì presenti nella serie ma più come cameo che altro, nonostante il sedicente doppio filo che li dovrebbe legare alle due protagoniste. Una nota di merito va sicuramente alle animazioni e alla regia, che si attesta sempre di altissimo livello per i prodotti creati da Dave Filoni. Questo non basta però a salvare in toto una serie che in conclusione risulta essere una grande occasione sprecata e dimostra come la capacità di Filoni di espandere la lore di Star Wars sia stata probabilmente sovrastimata.

The second half is strong, but overall they relied on covering one of the least interesting characters in star wars. Looked beautiful, but not so much about the empire as it was following the basic, “keep it jedi,” approach to everything star wars. I felt the tales of the jedi were pretty solid and overall lacks compared to the collective creativity to Star Wars Visions.

This anthology series is a thoughtful character piece that reflects on the questions of pain, loss, and healing that make up the galaxy far, far away.
While the first trio of episodes isn’t as strong as the second, they’re all elevated by contemplative visuals that deliver a fittingly solemn atmosphere. All in all, thanks to efficient storytelling and evocative aesthetics, the series demonstrates that there’s still plenty worth experiencing in this galaxy far, far away.
Tales of the Empire succeeds in many ways at telling more intimate stories than Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee would ever get on The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, or Ahsoka. But these six episodes get bogged down by exposition, losing some of what makes them so special. Morgan and Barriss deserve their time in the limelight, but their mostly surface-level journeys to and from the Dark Side might not be enough to serve a wider audience.
What a laughable ending for Berriss… why couldn’t she just become an Inquisitor and find her tragic end by the hands of the Jedi she hunted… Or Ahsoka herself…

Oh look, it’s another Disney Star Wars story with a female lead. How stunning and brave to use they/them pronouns.

While it must be fun for all the sound , camera and studio folks to still have jobs , in these hard times in Hollywood , it seems to me that, perhaps, Disney should consider selling the Star Wars franchise to some studio that actually wants to make Star Wars films. The actual fans will not watch these things. It's just a thought. Disney could then, pursue, to make brave woke versions of Pocahontas and Duck Tales as they please .

Absolute disgrace of a show. Tales of the Jedi was a great experience with great lore and character arcs. Everything was amazing. This lead me into being very excited for Tales of the Empire especially seeing Grievous and Vader in the trailers. Boy was I surprised when I went to actually watch the show. First episode was pretty good and felt like I was watching Lucas Star Wars. The next 5… oh boy. Basically nothing to do with the empire, Morgan is stealing creation of the Tie Defender from Thrawn for no reason, with her having no credential for coming up with such a design. Bariss was awesome in the clone wars show and was the perfect yin and yang to Ahsoka as a character. Instead we get a random redemption arc that makes absolutely no sense considering she bombed the Jedi temple and framed one of her friends, fully committed to being evil. The biggest crime of this show was the Darth Vader clickbait. He showed up for maybe 10 seconds and didn’t say a single word LOL. They knew nobody would have watched this otherwise if they didn’t click bait with Grievous and Vader in the trailer. Don’t even get me started on other points that bothered me but wanted to keep this as short as possible.
