Tales of the Jedi (animated series) - General Discussion Thread * SPOILERS *

I’m a little disappointed that it’s only prequel era, since an anthology series has the potential to visit multiple eras. The shorts sound very good though. It gives me hope that since Lucasfilm are determined to give us more Clone Wars content, they’ll do another season of Lost Missions and animate unfinished Clone Wars arcs, adding them to The Clone Wars as a whole. That would be a dream.

Yeah , I was disappointed to hear this is focusing on prequel area characters too . Although , Dave Filoni is helming the show and he played a large part in bringing a lot of EU characters and concepts back into "canon " . He has also been known to play his cards close to the vest and not revealing things to the public and sometimes his own crew . I don’t think he would have used that specific title , that specific logo for this show without some kind of connection . Going by the original Tales Of The Jedi comics , the sprit of Exar Kun is still trapped in the temples of Yavin 4 in the time period this is set in …while things probably won’t play out the way they did in the EU , I could see an eventual reworking of some of the events of the Jedi academy trilogy or I Jedi , where Exar’s spirit is discovered and dealt with ,being transposed to this time , with it being these prequel era Jedi that have to deal with him .Thrawn was brought back into the current stories , so I think anything can happen .I would like to see this series get more than one season and end up heading this route and leading to something bigger . I am selective in my reading of current Star Wars books and comics and not fully up to date on "canon " , has Exar Kun been referenced at all in the modern materials ?

I would love to see a series on EU characters too, or a series on any era, rather than just the Prequels. That just seems so limiting.

Fall 2022

So this is going to be airing at the same time as Andor?

I like the Star Trek model, where they stagger the shows so there’s new content every week of the year.

I liked it, especially everything about Dooku. I would like to see more about his story, expanding into his effort to forge the separatist alliance and so forth.

Other than that I would love to see an episode on Qui-Gons and Obi-Wans adventure on Mandalore.

Episodes 3 and 4 (last two Dooku episodes) were fantastic, I loved them. The rest I thought were fine. Sadly the last short takes events from a canon novel, Ahsoka and changes them up, probably the most major break in continuity in the new canon so far.

Interesting to note that retcons of published work almost exclusively come from shows Dave Filoni has worked on. I love the man but I do take issue with his disregard for published media, the work of authors in books and comics should be no less valued in canon than the writing for screen projects.

I really enjoyed this way more than I expected to! Hopefully we get more!

Just following Lucas’ example.

The Dooku Episodes

I’m really glad how they portrayed Dooku

Glad this is getting renewed! Hopefully they branch out a bit.
