Ah, Star Wars. The franchise that gave us Jedi wisdom, memorable droids, and enough existential questions to fill a Death Star. And now, it’s graced (or cursed?) our screens with an onslaught of TV shows, each trying to capture that ever-elusive spark that made the original trilogy magical. But are these shows all masterpieces? Not exactly. Buckle up, because here’s a ranking of every Star Wars TV show, from light speed to hyperdrive malfunction.

1. Star Wars: The Clone Wars

AKA: “George Lucas’s Final Vindication”

This animated gem started rocky but grew into an epic that filled in the gaps between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith with more depth than we thought possible. By season five, it was a full-on Shakespearean tragedy about Anakin’s rise and fall, political intrigue, and Ahsoka Tano’s journey. If you skipped this series because it was “for kids,” congratulations, you missed some of the best Star Wars content ever created. Obi-Wan’s sarcasm in action? Priceless.

2. Star Wars Rebels

AKA: “The Little Show That Could”

Rebels might look like a kid’s show, but it blossomed into a beloved part of the Star Wars universe. With familiar characters like Ahsoka and the cunning Thrawn, it strikes the balance between classic adventure and genuine emotion. If you ever wanted to see Darth Vader duel Ahsoka, buckle up. The show’s pacing and character arcs make it one of the best underdog stories in the galaxy.

3. The Mandalorian

AKA: “The Baby Yoda Show”

It redefined Disney+ and gave us Grogu, the puppet with enough cuteness to charm even the iciest Sith. Sure, Din Djarin’s journey was compelling, but let’s be honest—Baby Yoda carried this show on his tiny, wrinkly shoulders. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and new lore, with a dash of Boba Fett and a side of Mando-Mystique.

4. Andor

AKA: “The Gritty Rebellion Drama You Didn’t Know You Needed”

Imagine someone pitched a Star Wars show with no Jedi, no lightsabers, and no Grogu. Risky? Yes. But Andor dives into the murky ethics behind the Rebellion with a grounded, intelligent style. This show has consequences, complex characters, and makes you wonder if the Force even exists here. For those craving high-stakes rebellion drama, Andor delivers.

5. The Bad Batch

AKA: “More Clone Wars, but Grimmer”

A spin-off from The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch follows a group of “enhanced” clones who don’t fit in. It’s dark, it’s gritty, and tugs on the old heartstrings as we see the Republic fall. With less Jedi action but enough clone grit, this one’s a treat for those who want more of the gritty clone life. Just don’t expect lightsabers saving the day.

6. Tales of the Jedi & Tales of the Empire

AKA: “Galactic Bedtime Stories”

The Tales series is where Star Wars plays with different tales across the galaxy—both dark and light sides, with a sprinkle of myth. They’re bite-sized nuggets of the galaxy’s best and worst stories, giving fans glimpses of lesser-known lore and Jedi paths. It’s like watching mini Star Wars legends unfold.

7. Star Wars: Visions

AKA: “The Anime Experiment”

A kaleidoscope of Star Wars stories told through anime studios, Visions is unlike anything else in the canon. Every episode is a standalone with unique art styles, so you’re basically watching the galaxy through an anime lens. It’s visually stunning and a welcome breath of fresh air for those wanting something outside the usual lightsaber vs. blaster clash.

8. Obi-Wan Kenobi

AKA: “The Prequel Nostalgia Trip with Questionable Pacing”

This series promised the ultimate showdown between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader, and it… delivered, sort of. Ewan McGregor was great, but pacing issues made it feel like the writers were trying to stretch an hour’s worth of content into a full series. Still, for prequel fans, it’s hard not to feel the goosebumps when these two face off.

9. Ahsoka

AKA: “The Legacy of the White Saber”

Ahsoka Tano is back and, yes, she’s still a force to be reckoned with. The series tries to continue the Rebels storyline while weaving in the mysteries of the Jedi and Force lore. It’s a little uneven, but the thrill of seeing Ahsoka in live-action form is enough to make fans happy—even if the show doesn’t always match up to Rebels’ legacy.

10. The Book of Boba Fett

AKA: “The Mandalorian, Season 2.5”

Boba Fett finally got his own series, but it mostly proved why he was great as a side character. With the Tusken Raiders’ story, gangster vibes, and cameos from Mando and Grogu, it feels less like a cohesive story and more like a Boba Fett side project. When Mando shows up and steals the show, you know it’s not Boba’s best work.

11. Droids

AKA: “The Galaxy’s Original Saturday Morning Cartoon”

If you remember Droids, you probably had Saturday morning cereal in front of you. Following R2-D2 and C-3PO before they met Luke, this quirky cartoon has its charm, even if it’s not exactly… canon. It’s a time capsule from the ‘80s, for better or worse.

12. Ewoks

AKA: “Return of the Fur”

Remember the Ewoks? They got their own show too, and it’s about as ‘80s as you can imagine. It’s cute, it’s bizarre, and, well, it’s very much an acquired taste. Not essential Star Wars viewing, but for completionists, it’s there, lurking in the archives.

13. Young Jedi Adventures

AKA: “Jedi Preschool”

Aimed squarely at kids, this series teaches the tiniest viewers the values of the Jedi. It’s adorable and wholesome but has zero appeal for anyone over the age of six. Still, it’s good training for the future generation of Star Wars fans, even if lightsaber battles are limited to Force-safe foam versions.

14. The Skeleton Crew

AKA: “Pirates of the Galaxy”

Jude Law leads this upcoming show focused on a band of young outlaws in the Star Wars universe. It’s meant to be darker and adventure-filled, but as of now, it’s uncharted territory. The galaxy’s still out on this one, but the potential is strong with this one.

15. The Acolyte

AKA: “Before the Skywalkers”

Set in the High Republic era, this one’s supposed to dive into the darker side of the Force before the Skywalker saga even began. Anticipation is high, but without any episodes out, we’re left to speculate. Will it be the Sith-lore-heavy, gritty series fans crave, or just another prequel gimmick? Time will tell.

Final Thoughts: Galaxy Brain or Black Hole?

From the highs of The Clone Wars to the lows of Ewok-filled Saturday mornings, every Star Wars show has tried, in its own way, to recapture the magic that made the galaxy so irresistible. While some succeeded with flying colors (and Baby Yoda ears), others faded into obscure trivia at best. No matter your ranking, one thing’s for sure: in the galaxy of Star Wars TV, you’re never far from nostalgia, debates, and the eternal question, “Who shot first?”
