We Didn’t Like… That These Stories Didn’t Get Enough Time
Tales of the Jedi has a few interesting, meaty ideas—especially in the Dooku side of the anthology that get brushed upon, like the corruption of the Senate and the failing light of the Jedi Order itself. But because each of these shorts are just 10 to 15 minutes long, and each story is given just 3 shorts each to play out (which matters more to Dooku’s, as Ahsoka’s arc is much more broad), every time one of the Tales shorts brushes on these topics, it’s just that: brushing. They feel empty when there’s no time to really sit with any of these ideas like they might have been were these full animated episodes, or even if Tales didn’t try to split itself between deuteragonists. It’s a shame, because the potential is there, there just isn’t much meat to the bones.
