From The Mandalorian to Ahsoka, most Star Wars live-action shows have received positive reviews, but some have undeniably stronger seasons than others
To say that the Star Wars franchise has changed significantly under the reign of Walt Disney Studios would be an understatement. Despite the initial critical and commercial success of both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the franchise has suffered from being overexposed. The tagline “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” doesn’t feel as special when plastered over countless different movies and, since the arrival of Disney+, TV shows.
While Robert Rodriguez deserves credit for adding a hint of the Western genre to the Star Wars universe, The Book of Boba Fett proved to be both too much and not enough of a good thing. It's also the most blatant cash grab of the Disney+ Star Wars shows and hinted at a disappointing third season of The Mandalorian, much to fans' collective dread.
5 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Obi-Wan Kenobi is a largely forgettable limited series that would feel more forgivable if it wasn’t for a few baffling decisions. At its core, the idea of Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan learning to restore his faith in the Jedi Order is a compelling one. McGregor is among the most respected actors in the business, and his performance as the young Obi-Wan in the prequels has only increased in standing since 2005's Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
Ahsoka essentially felt like another season of Rebels, but unlike the animated show, it felt no obligation to conclude its story in a satisfying or organic way. The most heartbreaking aspect of Ahsoka is the tremendous performance by the late great Ray Stevenson as the dark force-wielder Baylan Skoll. Baylan is among the most exciting new Star Wars characters introduced within the Disney era, and it's deeply tragic and unfortunate that Stevenson will not be able to play him again.
2 'The Mandalorian' Season 1 The Mandalorian season 1 understood what made the Star Wars movies and shows unique and evolved it naturally. Pedro Pascal stars as Din Djarin, a bounty hunter forced into the furthest corners of the post-Empire galaxy to retrieve a target known only as "The Child." Fans soon discover The Child is the now-iconic Grogu, also known as "Baby Yoda.
