Star Wars Celebration 2025 was quite A new film that will open in May 2027 to An animated series that will continue to Darth Maul In the inframundo criminal. Before that, however, we have more Star Wars television programs To enjoy, starting with the Anthology series Tales of the underworld.

After 2024s Empire stories He made it clear that this new format had been a victory for the animation of Disney Plus and Lucasfilm, it was only a matter of time before these shorts explored more of the very distant galaxy, the underworld of distant. After all, his leg accumulates over the decades, many favorite fans belong to her and Boba Fett’s book He did not comply with the promise to have fun with the mafia and other space criminals.

The anthology of six episodes focuses on the favorite characters of Asojj Ventress and Cad Bane-Two fans who appeared through clone wars (and later on The bad lot). Both already for their ends (he thought that Ventress managed to deceive death), but that does not prevent Disney from telling interesting stories here. In addition, the Star Wars timeline It is massive, and with the entertaining show that shows us more of the criminal activity of the galaxy under the reign of the empire, the door is open for both clones veterans to spend more time.

Next, you will find a classified list of the six episodes and our opinion on each and every one. While the stories of the underworld is certainly not Andor season 2It is another reminder of all the value that Lucasfilm’s animation is constantly added to the science fiction fantasy universe in always.

Soft spoilers ahead for all the episodes of stories of the underworld and previous Star Wars media.

6. ‘A good turn’

The penultimate episode of The Bunch presents the ruthless hard Bounty Hunter Cad Bane just when he is getting used to the criminal business, before his days of rewards hunters. It occurs after a playful introductory episode and jumps forward in time to visit Bane again (still using the name of Colby) and Niro after their paths in life have divided. Colby is an aspiring gangster, and Niro has become a legislator, leaving behind the ‘rat of the street’.

Taking into account that this episode is (or should be) the crucial moment of the entire Cad Bane arch in this miniseries, we are sad to say that it lacks a blow. The inciting incident occurs quickly and off the camera, and is simply not happening long before the final confrontation that leads Colby along a hate and evil path.

It is interesting to see the two main characters adopt different lives despite their shared history and the lack of love and support of a family. It is from this Star Wars it is about redemption and empathy, but these stories also indicate that some people are irredimible, and Colby is the son of the person who made the wrong (and easy) decision in Every Gurn, even when he had a chicken that had a gymnn charn.

5. ‘A path to follow’

The first episode focused on ventress begins with an expected scene that adapts the end of Dark discipleA Canon novel that, however, had a ‘canceled’ leg like non -canon when Sith’s former murderer was introduced into the bad lot. The scene shows us exactly what happened after his apparent death. The dark side of force is a path to many skills that some consider unnatural, especially when we are talking about Bruges or Dathomir and his magic.

Fast advance until the first days of the Empire, and Asajj has received a great second chance … as long as it does not meet with its only loved one: Quinlan Vos. Easy, right? After all, request 66 has just removed the Jedi Order. Well, things get difficult again when a young Jedi named Lyco causes a uproar and the empire is directed to the two strength wheels. The Jedi: Survivor (one of the The best Star Wars games) Energy is in the clouds in this case, however, it is not particularly interesting or exciting, it fits the prologue, and the duel of the letter with a new inquisitor is not enough to cause an impression. We liked the new a yellow from Asajj light saberalthough.

4. ‘The good life’

The first of Cad Bane’s episodes is refreshing from the beginning: we can see the planet hard long before clone wars, after two orchieuwous orpans in the streets for a while before renting in a gangster that can be their lives. We have all seen this story before: the promise of wealth and power, an ‘easy’ exit … Despite the surroundings of New York City of the Mafia era, it is a family story of Star Wars, and spending a good amount of time with Colby before choosing a life of crime was a good decision.

This first chapter in Bane’s Tale is not exceptionally fun or deep, thought. It is exactly the type of things that could have been a short prologue or a small line of dialog What is a problem, but it is a problem, but at the time of poverty, it is a bit of poverty, a little more about life, what is a problem, but it is a problem, but it is a problem, but at a time of life more or less than 15 minutes, it is a bit of the life of life and more of life, which is a problem, but it is a problem, but it is a problem, but it is a problem, but it is a problem, but it is a problem It is a problem, but a little of poverty, it is a bit of good life, a little, a little, a little of poverty, a little, a little of the life of life. Go, wasting much of its potential in the process.

3. ‘Friends’

‘Friends’ maintains simple things, but it is the most full of action episode in Tales of the Underworld, which gives this small collection a very necessary energy shake. The moral of history is simple: do not trust people who steal and kill for money. Despite what the anthology title can suggest, Lucasfilm Animation is not glorifying mercenaries and rewards hunters here … even if most of this episode is an incredible and explosive attraction scene.

The Imperial Macguffin who Asajj, his new partner Jedi and his ‘friend’ are not really matter. What matters is how everything develops. For a few solid minutes, you have assault storms, mass imperial vehicles and guns that cause chaos, all while the protagonists try to survive. They plan to steal an element to obtain knowledge of the hidden route, a secret network that moves the sensibilities of the force to security.

The best thing is the Star Wars chest and the Man Full Dead chest for a spell, with a fantastic action scene that involves a giant piece of landscapes and many acrobatics. The conclusion could have been more tense for sure, but this is a great example of to what extent Lucasfilm’s animation has come with his technique and experience.

2. ‘A good did’

The best thing about Tales of The Underworld is that both three history episodes end in high notes. ‘One Good Did’ does not present much action, but that is why this story works. As Colby and Niro’s dispute reaches a critical point, dramatic tension and weight feel better, and Lucasfilm animation fans for a long time will appreciate western western vibrations unbridled at the forefront of this.

The most important question that stood out in an arc of history centered on Bane that occurs completely in the era of the prelate war galaxy was: Why should we import ourselves? We have seen it many times over the years, and died at the end of Boba Fett’s book, so what do we win with this?

It can be intriguing to see where the heroes and villains come, but only if it is a space to tell their previously invisible stories. Lucasfilm offers here, with a surprise conclusion that opens several exciting possibilities and makes Cad Bane a modern character of Legacy Legacy of Star Wars. I was definitely on our bingo card, but the surprise works so well thematically and on a purely emotional level that we must applaud it.

1. ‘One warrior to another’

Asajj Ventress’s story also has a surprisingly restricted third act, which sees her and young Jedi meet a former Sparratist leader who cannot release or a conflict without winners. Star Wars has surrounded such ideas before With varying degrees of successBut the angle of “not winners but Palpatino” made ventres again another thrust of his past life. It also works very well to eliminate the bandages of Lyco’s eyes, since it was too young to understand what happened safely when the Jedi order was erased along the separatists by a larger and more sinister force.

The configuration is also familiar but effective: a water conflict on a haven planet. There are small extraterrestrials equally more vicious than the Ewoks, and a massive misunderstanding. It quickly leads to a fun sequence of action that involves Speeders that is well choreographed, and both the plot and the emotional conclusion are its shots. Everything is a small -scale Star Wars peak, and a fantastic reminder or how well this format works when there are clear objectives in sight. After the disappointment of Tales of the Empire, the force is strong with this third series of anthology.
