Season One Review
Two years ago, "Tales of the Jedi" was a minor, if interesting exploration of some aspects of the "Star Wars" sage that hadn't been seen before. This "Star Wars Day" was marked with a new sister season, focusing on two previous existing villains, one who repents and one who does not.
Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) survives an attack by General Grievous in her youth, rises to the role of magistrate of the planet Corvus and attempts to assist the Empire. Her thwarted endeavors see her make an ally in Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen). When the Empire falls, she refuses to realign with the New Republic. Barriss Offee (Meredith Salenger) a jailed former Jedi is offered the chance to join the inquisitors and hunt Jedi's. She accepts but quickly becomes repulsed by the tactics employed and goes into hiding.
Utilising the same 3D animation art style as "Rebels" and "The Bad Batch", like those shows this looks great. The vocal performances are terrific, usually utilising someone who voiced the character previously or played them in a live action appearance.
They are though, as with the Jedi run, a bit slight. You can, and I did, power through them all under a two hours. It's better then to think of them as a bonus, extra but perhaps inessential back story to some characters. It's certainly easy to feel that way about them when they come out on May the fourth. Viewed through that ideology, these shows are a triumph. They are also in a more sensible order this time, than they were in the Jedi series.
It's a cool time. I wonder what we'll get in two years' time "Tales of the Rebellion", "Tales of the Sith" or my choice "Tales of the Road: With the Max Rebo Band"
