Three years ago today, Tales of the Jedi premiered—and for a show made up of short animated stories, it sure left a big mark on the galaxy. Released on October 26, 2022, the anthology series from Star Wars: The Clone Wars creator Dave Filoni explored the lives, choices, and tragedies of two very different Force users: Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. It wasn’t just more Clone Wars content—it was surgical storytelling, delivering sharp, emotional arcs that deepened the Star Wars universe in just six short episodes.

The Clone Wars brought home an award at the Daytime Emmy’s and David Tennant gets recognized for his hard work as the voice of Huyang, the droid that mentors young Jedis in how to build their own lightsabers.
