Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld

I liked the first half of the series, and I wish they could have just expanded on that stuff with Ventress. The second half of the season bored me.

Although at first glance it might seem like just another entry in the expanded Star Wars universe, Tales of the Underworld turns out to be quite an interesting offering. It dives into the shadows of the galaxy and brings two classic Clone Wars villains back into the spotlight, giving them some well-deserved depth. It doesn’t break new ground, but it does offer narrative fragments that enrich the larger picture. Cad Bane’s arc, in particular, stands out. You can tell there’s an effort to explore

The Ventress episodes were not good; no stakes, boring story, tedious task-based plot points (they learned from The Mandalorian, I guess). The Cad Bane ones were better, although the ending was underwhelming. Either way, the story is much richer.
