Ever since Disney bought Lucasfilm back in 2012, there’s been a steady drip feed of Star Wars television shows airing on Disney+. Before that, we had a few shows set in George Lucas’ space opera universe, but they were only animated series (mostly) geared towards children. Since the Disney deluge, Disney has released 15 different Star Wars series, one a continuation of The Clone Wars animated show; the rest all brand-new.
Some of them, like 2022’s brilliant Star Wars spy thriller Andor (a prequel to Rogue One starring Diego Luna) are excellent. Some, like The Book of Boba Fett, a limited series that tried to make an exciting show out of everyone’s favorite mostly-silent bounty hunter, feel more like Disney taking action figures and smashing them together on a soundstage. When Star Wars TV is good, it’s whip-smart and inspiring, but when it’s bad it’s like that muck at the bottom of the trash compactor in A New Hope
So, we ranked the 15 Star Wars TV shows (not including the ‘80s animated series, sorry), from worst to best. Click through to see how everything shook out.
This ranking was originally published on Oct 8, 2024. We’ve re-upped it today for May 4.
