All Rights Reserved. | Star Wars: AndorShare on FacebookShare on XShare on RedditCopy ArticleLucasfilm has been making Star Wars TV shows for nearly two decades, starting with the animated series The Clone Wars, which began in 2008. But production really ramped up when The Mandalorian, the first-ever live-action Star Wars show, premiered in 2019. After that, Lucasfilm and Disney went crazy, making new shows almost faster than fans could keep up.Some shows hit and some shows didn’t. Now that we’re deep into this experiment, it’s time to take stock. Here all all 10 Star Wars TV shows yet made, ranked worst to best.(L-R): Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) and Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) in Lucasfilm’s THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT, exclusively on Disney+. © 2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & ™. All Rights Reserved. | The Book of Boba Fett10. The Book of Boba FettThis show was just odd. Technically, it’s a spinoff of The Mandalorian, where Boba Fett was brought back from the dead in the second season. In his own show, Boba Fett takes over the criminal empire left rudderless in the wake of Jabba the Hutt’s death. Sounds like fun, right?Less than you’d hope. Boba Fett isn’t the mysterious badass bounty hunter we remember from the movies, but a taciturn would-be leader who cares more about the welfare of others than you’d think. He simply wasn’t a very compelling lead character.But the strangest part of The Book of Boba Fett were the episodes where we left him behind completely to catch up with the Mandalorian and Grogu. Essentially, the best episodes of The Book of Boba Fett were episodes of The Mandalorian, reducing him to a side story in his own show.This show should not have happened. Boba Fett should have have occasionally shown up on The Mandalorian, and everything that went down between Din Djarin and Grogu should have gone down on their own show.Osha Aniseya (Amandla Stenberg) and the Stranger Qimir (Manny Jacinto) in Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: THE ACOLYTE, season one, exclusively on Disney+. ©2024 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. | The Acolyte9. The AcolyteThe Acolyte is an experimental show for Star Wars. It has a completely new story with a wholly original cast of characters, including twin sisters named Osha and Mae who are alternately drawn to the light and dark sides of the Force. But the cast never quite congeals. Osha and Mae seem to switch motivations every couple episodes, extended flashbacks drag down the pacing, and the attempts to explore the dark side of the Jedi never feels quite dark enough.The Acolyte had some interesting elements to it, and the season finale steps things up considerbly from before. But in the end, Disney opted not to renew the show for a second season, leaving it hanging awkwardly in the air.(L-R): Princess Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) in Lucasfilm’s OBI-WAN KENOBI, exclusively on Disney+. © 2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & ™. All Rights Reserved. | Obi-Wan Kenobi8. Obi-Wan KenobiEwan McGregor and Hayden Christensen return to the roles of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker nearly two decades after the end of the prequel trilogy. It’s fun to see these two back in action, playing out a new drama that takes place between the prequel trilogy and original trilogy. But it feels a little like the series has no other reason to exist than to give fans a nostalgia high.It also feels like the series is stretched in; it started life as a movie script, and you can tell they’re stretching to story to run over the course of six episodes. It’s a kick to see Obi-Wan and Anakin back at it, but the show doesn’t have enough substance to go the distance.Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 1 Echo, Wrecker, Omega, Rex, and Hunter.

The animated shows are largely the brainchild of Dave Filoni, who may be the biggest creative force in the Star Wars universe now that George Lucas no longer works on it. The Bad Batch follows a group of clone soldiers who have more free will than others; they’re abnormal clones, hence their name.It’s impressive that the members of the Bad Batch all feel distinct despite being clones. The show takes place right after the purging of the Jedi with Order 66 and the rise of the Empire, and explores how the clones grapple with their duties under this new brutal regime.There are some great episodes of The Bad Batch, but it’s still the least of the animated shows yet produced. The addition of a young clone named Omega to the cast feels a little like the producers adding in a stand-in character to appeal to kids, and it just never quite reaches the heights of the other Star Wars animated series.(L-R) Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter) and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) in Lucasfilm’s STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW, exclusively on Disney+.

Skeleton CrewAnother experimental show, Skeleton Crew takes the template of a Goonies-esque young adult movie from the 1980s and transposes it into a galaxy far, far away. A group of kids stumbles on a spaceship and finds themselves whisked across the stars. They must trust a charming rogue who may or may not be an ex-Jedi to help them get back home.Skeleton Crew had affable characters, a quirky style, and a story that more or less wraps up by the time the first season is over. It’s fun and different, but is fun and different what people are looking for with Star Wars? Skeleton Crew is one of a couple shows on this list that test the flexibility of the Star Wars universe; how far can it bend until it breaks?While there’s been talk of a second season of Skeleton Crew, with star Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Fern) landing the starring role in Hulu’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, it doesn’t look like it’ll happen.Star Wars Rebels episode “Secret Cargo” with Ezra Bridger, Mon Mothma, Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios, and Hera Syndulla. Image Credit: StarWars.com5. Star Wars RebelsThis next animated show is set during the thick of the rebellion against the Empire and leads right into the original Star Wars movie. We meet new heroes like Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren, members of the Bad Batch show up, and the lot of them tussle with fierce villains like Grand Admiral Thrawn. Things get especially interesting once Ahsoka Tano, an ex-Jedi apprentice and pretty clearly Dave Filoni’s favorite creation, shows up.That said, there’s an incestuous quality to the animated shows that can be a
