TALES OF THE JEDI BREAKDOWN (ALL 6 EPISODES) 

Anakin unknowingly training Ahsoka for her Order 66 survival was like poetry.

For me, The episodes with Count Dooku is easily the biggest highlight of the show. Honestly, Bryce Dallas Howard nailed it as Yaddle.

The way Ahsoka outclassed that inquisitor was one of the highlights of the series, no inquisitor even the grand inquisitor can take her

Did y’all catch the symbolism in the hallway with Yaddle, Dooku, and Qui? In the hallway towards the end of the scene- Yaddle walks towards the light, Dooku to the dark, and Qui’s quarters or whatever was in the middle.

Ahsoka at Padme’s funeral and Bail telling her that, “she could’ve done nothing for the two of them,” really hit me in the feels

“Hope all that training paid off” Only Dave Filoni can make an epic episode from a throwaway line like that

Seeing Jesse look so proud and apologetic for being the one to shoot Ahsoka was priceless 😂

Dooku’s fall was amazing and heartbreaking to watch. They did such a amazing job in 45 minutes to show his character flaws and motivations for betraying the Jedi.

One small detail I really enjoyed was that Yaddle spoke “normally”, proving that Yoda’s backwards talk is something unique to him and not a species thing. Makes Yoda seem more mystical and special

Literally, my only problem with the show was how short it was every episode had me enthralled, and I didn’t want it to end

Dooku’s fall from grace was just as heartbreaking as Anakin’s. It was so hard to watch Yaddle vs Dooku. After everything Dooku had done, she still cared for him and wanted to save him just like Obi-Wan wanted to save Anakin. 😢

Ahsoka killing the Inquisitor in a matter of seconds while unarmed just proves that she could have easily killed the other Inquisitors if she really wanted to.

Seeing Dooku’s dark side tendencies and how he strayed away from the order was amazing. Seeing Ashoka obliterate a duel bladed inquisitor was an awesome parallel to her fighting one of the best dual bladed duelist, MAUL. Inquisitor was a cake walk!

Please don’t ever stop animated Star Wars Disney. We could have perpetual ‘tales of Jedi’ shorts

I absolutely loved Dooku's episodes because you felt like bar killing Yaddle he wasn't doing anything wrong. He was doing everything for what he thought was right. It reminded me of the quote "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Anakin didn't just teach Ahsoka to defend herself. He also taught her his signature behind-the-back block. Now the whole family has it.

Yaddle opening the door for Dooku to see the light one last time before it shuts into darkness is amazing imagery and reminiscent of Padme’s Ruminations in Revenge of the Sith. The scene where Anakin and Padme are “seeing” each other across Coruscant. Anakin is seeing the light one last time during the sunset with tears down his face before he turns into the shadows/darkness. Not only one of my favorite Star Wars scenes, but one of my favorite movie scenes of all-time.

I like how the convo between dooku and obi wan in attack of the clones means so much more knowing how much he cared for qui gon and admired to meet obi wan during the phantom menace. The distress he showed when qui gon died 😭😭

Dooku's episode were done so well. One of my favorite details is the relationship between Dooku and Qui-Gon, as once Maul kills Qui-Gon on Naboo Dooku laments his death and grieves Qui-Gon in his own way. Now rewatching Dooku and Obi-Wan interact over the years, Dooku holds Obi-Wan in high regard because he's all Dooku has left of his old padawan.

I love the parallel of the woman in the village saying, “Ahsoka is jedi” to her own line in rebels, “I’m no jedi” after everything that happened I also think it’s worth mentioning that the first room Ahsoka does her training in with the clones, is where they would later keep the zilo beast to source its skin as armour

It’s amazing how simple stories condensed into 10 to 20 minutes can outshine a lot of the 40 minute to an hour live action episodes.

Dooku needs his own series his character is so complex and interesting

The fact that Ahsoka was at Padmes funeral is even more heartbreaking 😢

I've always wanted to see Dooku as a jedi. I absolutely loved the scene where Dooku said "corruption like yours must be eradicated" while choking that senator.

What I find incredibly ironic is that Jesse, the first trooper to shoot Ashoka when she was training, was also the one who lead the other troopers against Ashoka during season 7

Yaddle's death broke my heart, she was such a good soul, brought me memories of my mother.

When Ahsoka said "She was my friend" to Bail, it broke my heart

I literally love this show so much. It’s such a treat. Ultimately, I just want more of it. This show alongside Bad Batch have really just felt like a love letter to my childhood. I think they can do so much with a show like this. I think they kept it safe with long-time fan favorites like Ahsoka and Dooku for S1, but I think it can have even more potential to flesh out other “newer” favorite characters like Grogu, Kanan, Jacen, Ezra, etc. I truly think there is so much you can do with a show like this. As for StarWars animation as a whole, Im still holding out hope for Disney to adapt Son of Dathomir into a movie length animation. Take me back to some pure Clone Wars content with one of the greatest arcs that we never got.

Yaddle and Dooku exceeded my already extremely high expectations. Yaddle standing up to Dooku and Sideous, and us getting to see her demise were legendary

This show was amazing and how all these stories fit in the existing timeline is just chef’s kiss. Dave again shows his talents and I’m here for it.

The imagery of Dooku walking out of the temple to his ship as he went to Palpatine to complete his turn to the dark side - just parallels Anakins fall in ROTS. Such beautiful imagery. Episode 4 was the highlight of an amazing series

Did you notice young Kanan and his Master Depa Billaba in Ep 5? Cool to see them in there! This show was a breath of fresh air. Absolutely phenomenal. The feeling of wanting more and the satisfaction is what I wish I felt after the Kenobi series. It’s funny how a few shorts done right can blow almost everything else Disney has done with Star Wars out of the water. Hopefully the reviews from TotJ will let Disney know that we want more Filoni! Haha

The fact that Jessie was the first who stunned Ahsoka in her trainning is just....unexpected.....but not unwelcomed. Edit: Grateful for the likes, I am.

It felt soooo freaking nice seeing Yaddle not only actually talk, but have her own fight scene / heart to heart with Count. It feels nice knowing what finally happened to her... but she really didn't deserve to go out like that. It just felt like she was trying to save him...my heart literally broke for her 💔

I love how Dooku at first wanted to fight against corruption and for people like the villagers but after his fall to the dark side when killing Yaddle, he forgot his principles during the Clone Wars, even supporting slavery. His downfall has now been fully portrayed, it was awesome. Also loved that the village in the second episode looked like a medieval one but more modern like.

That scene where Dooku is standing in front of the tree at the Jedi temple is so poetic…well done Filoni!!!

A few notes: *Yoda most likely didn't talk in these episodes because Tom Kane, the voice of Yoda, the narrator, and Admiral Yularen in the Clone Wars, had to step down due to a stroke. Very sad. *Ashoka was called "Ashla" because the story (very loosely) follows the 2016 Ashoka Novel, where she went by Ashla while in hiding (and yes, she killed the 6th Brother just as fast in the book as well), she also used the lightsaber crystals in the Inquisitor's lightsaber to make her own white lightsabers

Dooku really loved Qui-Gon like his own son, I know it’s been stated that he left the Order cause of Qui-Gon’s death & the incompetence of the Order but you can really tell he was devastated when he passed, glad to understand him & his reasoning better now

One thing I was not ready for was how hard some of the emotional beats hit. Dooku and Qui-Gon having one last talk, where Qui-Gon praises Obi-Wan and can't wait for Dooku to meet him, only to then cut to Dooku sorrowfully reminiscing about him after his death hit hard. But what got me the most was Bail and Ahsoka speaking after Padme's funeral, where she breaks her stoic composure when she say "she was my friend". Eckstein nailed the delivery of that line so painfully well I teared up a bit. Just brilliant

The feels from Anakin training Ahsoka to defend herself, really hit home. He saved her. 🥲

Enjoyed Ahsoka’s episodes, but Dooku’s were masterpieces. I’m really hoping that Filoni will do more of these. Tales of the Bounty Hunter featuring Jango Fett and Cad Bane and Tales of the Sith featuring Palpatine and Maul would be incredible! I’ll always love the Prequel era. It deserves more amazing animated content like this. I want to explore the 10 years in between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, and let Filoni tell all of it.

Anakin's training was so specific that I wonder if he didn't have a vision of Ahsoka in this same scenario. Maybe he didn't know what it meant, but he was getting her ready.

Flawless. The fact that Dave Filoni just understands the lore of star wars to know how to make stories that fit in between episodes to keep continuity and do the history justice just furthers the proof that he should be that head of Lucasfilms, and the fact that he was practically George’s Padawan

Dave you've done it again. Filoni has outdone himself yet again. The brief episodes short and sweet capture all of the beauty of star wars we love. Dooku as a character is unbelievable and is in my opinion the best written character in the saga along with Satine, anakin and ahsoka just off the top of my head. Wow. What a time to be a star wars fan.

The fact that Jesse was the first trooper to knock Ahsoka out was some dark foreshadowing towards season 7, but an amazing detail

The Ahsoka training hit different. It brought up all that season 7 finale emotion I forgot existed. I loved it and I want more. Thank you Dave Filoni!

I loved in the 6th episode they explain how Ahsoka and Bail set up the Fulcrum relationship for Rebels. This was really good for tightening the continuity of canon star wars.

I love that Yaddle was voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard who's a director from The Mandalorian & Book of Boba Fett (& from Jurassic World)

Dooku’s scene at the tree was beautiful. Should’ve had more scenes him and Qui-Gon

Dave is literally George’s apprentice, man needs more control at Disney

Definitely my favorite moment was Anakins training of Ahsoka and how that changed the whole galaxy because it enabled her to survive and fight on. Reinforcing the fact that he was the chosen one all along.

Tales of the Jedi was So Good! It answered so many questions that the Fandom had and filled in so many important gaps. I was in awe by each episode. Dave Filoni has a gift of understanding what StarWars is and it really shows.

An amazing 6 episodes. Episode 5 was my favourite. Seeing Anakin, Rex and the clones again made me so happy. It just makes order 66 even sadder seeing more of their relationship. Anakin training Ahsoka to survive, and little Kanan watching her train…Just an amazing episode!

This filled in Dooku’s story so perfectly, as well as other gaps in the lore like why Kamino wasn’t in the archives. Animated Star Wars just always hits different. If they don’t make more seasons soon, I’d be devastated because this was so freaking good!

Idk why, but every time I watch Attack of the Clones I get emotional when I hear Dooku say “I could really use his help right now” referring to Qui-Gon. 😢

I liked how when Yaddle raised the door and the light flooded into the room, Sidious cowered away. He wasn't just covering his face, or he'd have done it when the door was open prior and Yaddle appeared. Something Light Side-y was up there!

I am intrigued the most with Count Dooku and Qui-Gon Jinn. I could watch their adventures all day long.

It's kinda crazy how Dookus turn made more sense than Anakins

Two faced is a strong word on mace windu. It's not in what is known about his character. Is straight forward and confident enough to just say what he's got to say. Dooku on the other hand clearly has trust issues and is slowly disillusioned over time. So it's very much In his character to overthink it...more than it's in windu to be two faced

I never even thought about what was Ahsoka's training under Anakin. It makes a lot of sense for Ahsoka to be so much better than all other matching some of the weaker Masters. Anakin has his extraordinary ways for things after all

Dave and the whole team couldn’t have done a better job with this show. Watching these episodes really warmed my heart. Only sad thing is that they are so short! I really hope they make more seasons for all of us to enjoy with longer episodes too.

I loved every episode but the 4th and 5th one were my favorites. That whole scene with Yaddle following Dooku in his ship reminded me so much of Anakin debating whether he should go follow Windu and save Palpatine. The music sounded very similar too. You know Dooku is going to kill Yaddle, but you don’t want him to do it. It was very well done! Anakin’s training was brutal, but I loved how he connected with Ahsoka and taught her how to protect herself. The training droids at the Jedi temple aren’t gonna prepare you for real battles. Even though she was a prodigy, she still had much to learn and Anakin really accelerated her growth. I hope we get more of this show in the future! The animation style gets more polished in every series and I can’t wait to see Bad Batch.

Was literally crying at the end of this. Was telling my young son how Ahsoka was tired of fighting but knew that she couldn't stay out of the fight. Season 2 yes, please. I feel like some people might complain that this was too short or focused on too few characters but the stories are better when they are told at the right time. This is what we needed before the Ahsoka show. And I'm sure the live action shows are about to lead into that. A+

It explains so much how ahsoka survived order 66, if every jedi did that training, it won't have turned out the way it did for Palpatine

In my opinion, this was one of the best prices of Star Wars we have gotten in the past ten years. From the dark notes they hung at with Dooku, and the way they show his fall. To Anakin training Ahsoka to survive order 66. The story telling and under tones of the story was done so well. I loved it.

This series was incredible, enough to hopefully bring back many fans who gave up hope after recent starwars shows. I also loved Kanan Jarrus Easter egg in episode four while Ashoka is training with Tera Sinube.

press F to pay respect to the great Master Yaddle, who tried to save Dooku

One of the best parts for me was Ahsoka facing the inquisitor and dismantling him almost the exact same way Vader did with Reva, it's cool to see that link between them

Might be obvious. They definitely show homage to Christopher Lee with the second episode, Justice and with his former role as Dracula. Especially, when they show the eerie almost medieval Town, afterwards the light towards Dookus face, when they sit by the table in the inn.

For me the last two episodes are the best. Show casing the fact Ashoka was trained by the BEST and then specifically Anakin in that episode. Then rolling into the final episode slapping an inquisitor with no weapon was a clear showcase of power and talent which is obviously a setup for her show coming up. Lust loved it.

i enjoyed dooku’s development so much. his transition from the light to the dark is just amazing

The Dooku episodes were easily the best. Ahsoka’s episodes were pretty decent but I thought it was really cool seeing Dooku turning to the dark side.

Tales of the Sith is a brilliant idea! I’ve always said they need more dark-side storytelling - this would be a phenomenal platform to ease them in.

They need much more short episodes or short films like this in Star Wars. They could fill in so many gaps & go super in depth with underappreciated characters!

This series was FANTASTIC. The music that was playing when dooku was walking to his speeder and the door opened hit PERFECTLY. I absolutely love that tone.

This series made me realize one thing We need an entire show about dooku

This show is beyond great and beautiful. Hats off to Dave!

I was caught completely off guard by Yaddle dying in this. I was suprised she was even in it but even a day after watching that episode I was still shocked and in disbelief that that had gone down the way it did.

I would really like to see General Grievous past revealed and show him being a cyborg too.

This is the MAGIC of Star Wars. Thank you Dave, Thank you George.

Absolutely loved the full season. Yaddle, Dooku and Ahsoka were all amazing. Loved how the included Jesse in the firing ring. Hopefully for a season two they could include Yaddle more, Grand Inquisitor and Sifo-Dyas

Every second, every moment was perfection. Beautiful visual story telling and symbolism throughout. I’m gushing this might be one of the best things on Star Wars ever.

One potentially very significant thing that I think will be overlooked is that during the Ashoka training episode anakin says to Ashoka “if you can hold off Rex and the boys you will be ready for anything on the battlefield. Well eh anything with a blaster atleast.” I could see this foreshadowing a lightsaber battle in the Ashoka show where Ashoka loses. This battle could even be against anakin.

*I thoroughly enjoyed these six episodes. But, Dooku's stood out to me the most. His shift to the darkside was such a powerful shift for sure. And I got teary eyed when Ahso was at Padme's funeral. I definitely hope that they do more of these shorts to be honest.*

Ahsoka just cleanly and effortlessly dispatching the Sixth Brother was amazing. Did it look like his head evaporated force ghost style to anyone else? Maybe I just saw things but it had me super confused.

1:36 "A breath taking scene" Quite literally

What I especially like with Ahsoka's training is that there was no criteria for sucess. No amount of deflects, set time or any other kind of limit to how well she wanted to perform. She just wanted to keep pushing her limits and anything less might not have been enough. Some of Anakin’s cockiness definitely rubbed off on Ahsoka throughout the Clone Wars but she also put in the work.

Tales of the Jedi was a Master Piece we need more Dave Filoni content

Loved this show! A season 2 is essential.

As always, thanks for the video dude. I really enjoyed this series. I look forward to seeing more of this series in the future.

Awesome Video!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! It was So Great To flesh out more of Dooku's Backstory and Ahsoka's Training! Definitely deserves a Second Season! One of My Favorite Star Wars Projects Ever!!!

I love how they included a small scene from the clone wars season 7 with ahsoka and rex. It was a very nice touch overall I tonight!

Dooku arc was fantastic. The entire show was amazing. 2 things I've noticed: It was in chronological order, at first I was like "Wait, why are all 3 of Dooku's episodes back to back?" Then I realized. Also. I could've SWORN that there was a young Kanan in "Practice makes perfect". It just looked like Kanan and his master..

Thank you SWTheory for using your platform as a voice for the community, I am delighted as a fan to have you speaking on all our behalf, thank you for all your work

because of this series, i start rewatch clone wars and rebel again. episode practice makes perfect makes me cry again

Did anybody notice the sound effects they used when Dooku was erasing Kamino from the archive?! They used the sounds from Alien. When Dallas was talking to "Mother" in the computer room. And even some other sounds from the rest of the movie. Brilliant. Those small details made this feel like old star wars.

I Hope they never stop making stuff like this. I loved every episode. 1 very small negative for me is that they were wayyyy to short.

Shoutout to the music in these episodes too! Some were just so chilling and some just brought so much joy in me. Will have to watch this again

Its good to see some really good Star Wars content coming out

The Dooku story was so good and I wish they would make a whole animated series about his downfall!!!
