Ah yes, I remember now. So both turns were equally abrupt (albeit still understandable) then

Both Ashoka and Barris are adolescents who, like normal teenagers, are struggling with emotions and such. Add on the extra restrictive Jedi teachings about emotion and it's pretty clear why/how Barris would have a violent, poorly thought out plan.

Sounds like you have some classic anthology horror to catch up on. The movie is especially fantastic.

One of the stories was about how a nightsister got involved with imperial remnants, the other is about how a jedi turned into an inquisitor for the empire. There was enough empire involvement for a tales of the jedi follow up.

Teek posted:Probably would have concerns with that particular title, due to similarity with: I really don't think that would have mattered. First off, movies and TV shows are named the same thing all the time. Marvel didn't exactly shy away from calling their massive team up movie The Avengers because of the 1998 movie version of the 60's British TV show (though I know they added a subtitle in England). There were two movies called Crash, two movies called Heat, two movies called Twilight, etc. All unrelated. Second, if they were worried about naming confusion, well, they hosed up.

Tales from the Empire the book has a Bounty Hunter on the cover instead of someone from the Empire. I hope someone got fired for that blunder. For real though, Tales from the Empire is just a cool sounding title. Also, it's safe to assume if this keeps going it lets them explore more Empire connected or at least Empire adjacent tales.

About that Bounty Hunter on the cover, turns out it was actually Thrawn posing as a Bounty Hunter named Jodo Kast (who himself was using the Mando armor to trade on Boba's more famous appearance), so it ended up being Empire related. Thrawn's success on the mission convinces Vader to give him access to the Noghri.

And General Veers turns up, who kicks enough rear end to catch Thrawn's eye, who in turn tells Vader "you're looking for a new guy to run your armored assaults, that's your dude." It has been decades, but wasn't the story pretty much someone trying to break a smuggling ring, but if that happens the Alliance won't be lead into an ambush, so the Empire is helping the smugglers evade... The Empire, so that the smugglers can make the weapons drop and wipe out everyone?

That much I don't remember. I just remember it was a 4 part joint "short" story between Zahn and Stackpole, so of course their favorite characters had to show up, Thrawn and Corran Horn.

I found Tales 1 to be different mini stories but this was just 2 stories split up into 3 parts each. Doesn't make any sense - they could have just put them out as shorts and fans would have watched them no matter what. Tales of the Empire could have been about like some Tie pilots or guys on Hoth or just about any of the grunt work. Wasted premise. And the only good episode was the 6th with Bariss which could stand on it's own.

The Dooku parts seemed to have some thread of continuity between them at least though but the Ahsoka ones did not (instead focusing on her life before, during, and after her time with the Jedi order)

I thought about this too I think both involve such large time jumps that it does work better as three episodes. In one, it may feel more like something is missing. It does still feel like the creatives subverting a studio edict though

I find it kind of interesting that there seems to be a somewhat common expectation that the second series of Tales of the Jedi was to be about non-force users. I guess it just speaks to the general fatigue of force stuff in star wars. I thought it was pretty obvious it was going to be about red sabres. Maybe the next one will be about yellow sabres, but it's definitely still going to be about force users.  But I would love lucasfilm animation doing a sort of series where each episode is a different short story focused on a random grunt in the clone/trade/rebel/empire armies. Clone Wars kind of dabbles in this, but it's a bit different with how it's drawn out there. Call it Battlelogs or something.

All this reminds me of Love Death and Robots. The first season was incredible, just totally wild. Every seasons since then has trended ever further towards the mediocre.

Tales is just Filonis way of cramming more story stuff into characters he personally likes. Also all of LD&R rules.

Neither of them are bad in their own right but for a three episode set they should not have doubled up.

Once they dropped making 75% of the shorts horny, it really dropped in quality. If they did a tales of the Empire 2, they should show Gideon and exactly what happened on Mandalore.
