Lucasfilm has gone full steam ahead with their Star Wars TV series on Disney+. After the conclusion of the core Skywalker Saga, Lucasfilm has told new stories set years before Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. The franchise has always been recognized for bouncing between different time periods, and it is a trend that they have continued. Fortunately for Star Wars fans, this has meant getting new content set in the eras that they love. For those who love all eras of Star Wars, Lucasfilm has introduced them to even more new characters and locales.

Update October 17, 2023: Following the conclusion of Ahsoka, this article has been updated with even more Star Wars television series that have aired on Disney+.

The Star Wars galaxy has always been a large place, ripe with great storytelling opportunities. Disney+ has allowed Star Wars to move away from the traditional focus on the Skywalker family. The time has come for other characters to come to the forefront. With Skeleton Crew and The Acolyte on the horizon, it makes sense to look back at the last few years of shows and to see how they hold up. So, here are all the Star Wars series on Disney+ so far ranked.

Bounty hunter Boba Fett was one of the most popular characters of the original trilogy. After the long-awaited Boba Fett film was canceled, a decision was made to instead create a TV series. Picking up directly after the second season of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett showed the aftermath of Fett claiming Jabba's throne. He was joined by Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand. The return of Temuera Morrison to a live-action Star Wars production was more than welcome and embraced by the fans. Unfortunately, while The Book of Boba Fett was entertaining, Boba Fett became a supporting character in his own show. There were episodes where he was in the background, or in the case of "Chapter 5," entirely absent. If The Book of Boba Fett receives a second season, the series would benefit greatly from more of a focus on its titular character.

After making her live-action appearance in the second season of The Mandalorian, followed by a cameo in The Book of Boba Fett, Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano got her own show in the form of 2023's Ahsoka. Essentially a continuation of Star Wars: Rebels, the miniseries sees the eponymous Jedi reunite with her former apprentice Sabine Wren to search for Ezra Bridger, who has been missing for years after being dragged to an unknown location along with the villainous Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Star Wars Characters Deserve Their Own Spin-Off Movies or Series
Star Wars is a rich universe filled with great characters, and these heroes and villains deserve to have their time in the spotlight.

Along the way, she is also joined by Twi'lek pilot Hera Syndulla and loyal droid companion Huyang, both of whom crossover from other media. With a solid central mystery, interesting characters, and a greater exploration of the Star Wars universe, the first season of Ahsoka was, overall, a strong offering, even if its obsession with fan service risked alienating casual viewers and the series finale was underwhelming.

Without question, Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi has become one of the most popular characters in Star Wars history. Director Deborah Chow directed two fantastic episodes on The Mandalorian and has continued to impress with her work on the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Anakin Skywalker did not leave Mustafar unscarred, and neither did Obi-Wan. The Jedi Master lost all the people he loved and was forced to go into hiding, distancing himself from anything and everything connected to his past. He was a survivor and fugitive no longer at peak strength.

However, Kenobi was reminded that he still had a purpose in bringing light into a galaxy shrouded in darkness. Obi-Wan Kenobi continued the fan-favorite character's journey as he went on to become one of the greatest Jedi ever. The time period of the series allowed for exciting fan service, including the return of Darth Vader and the first live-action appearance of the Inquisitors.

Unlike the other series on this list, Star Wars: Visions was a non-canon show separate from the main Star Wars continuity. It was a collection of nine anime-inspired short films from seven Japanese animation studios. The studios were given creative freedom to bring their own cultural perspective and style to Star Wars. Visions was a breath of fresh air, having the free rein to do something different. One of the episodes, titled "The Duel," told the story of a lightsaber-wielding wanderer defending a village from bandits. It harkened back to some of the franchise's earliest roots, reflecting the Samurai films that have influenced Star Wars since the very beginning. Other episodes of Visions were wildly different, showcasing the pros of its flexibility as an anthology series.

Created by Dave Filoni, Star Wars: The Bad Batch served as both a sequel to and spin-off of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It centered on the elite clone trooper squad, Clone Force 99, otherwise known as the "Bad Batch." They were first introduced in the final season of The Clone Wars and revealed to have unique genetic mutations. These mutations differentiated the Bad Batch from other clones and gifted them special abilities. Starting at the point in the timeline when Order 66 was issued, the Bad Batch was forced to go on the run.

Despite all its crazy events, The Bad Batch was actually all about teamwork and family. Omega, a new girl clone who joined the Bad Batch, was a major highlight of the series. The series features some incredible character work and really found its voice in season 2 with one of the all-time great season finales. The series is renewed for a third and final season.

The second Star Wars anthology series, Tales of the Jedi tells stories from the perspective of different Jedi characters from the same timeframe as the prequel trilogy. Though each episode has a different focus, the first season follows two "paths" - one following Ahsoka Tano at different stages of her life, the other detailing Count Dooku and his turn to the dark side - that intertwine and form the skeleton of the six episodes.

Although the Star Wars franchise boasts 11 movies, there was originally meant to be more. Here's every film that didn't happen, and why.

The quality of both the writing and the animation here is strong, and Tales of the Jedi delivers some of the best storytelling of all the animated shows. While it might not appeal to casual Star Wars viewers, what with it essentially being a deep dive into the universe's lore, it nevertheless offers an entertaining and engaging wider look at a period in the franchise's canon that was, at one time, considered not worth exploring.

The first Disney+ Star Wars series, The Mandalorian, paved the way for all the series that came after it. It was such a success that it led to the development of many spin-offs, including The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka. Following the lone gunfighter and titular "Mandalorian", Din Djarin, everything changed when he met Grogu. Grogu was a Force-sensitive Jedi Initiate hunted by malevolent forces such as the Imperial remnant. Djarin was reminded of his own childhood as an orphan and shifted his priorities to delivering Grogu to the Jedi. Din Djarin and Grogu's adventures took them across the galaxy, during which they developed an incredible bond. Star Wars has always been about family, and The Mandalorian has essentially been about an adoptive father and his son.

Some may still be quick to dismiss animation as being "less than" live-action productions. But Star Wars: The Clone Wars had some of the best Star Wars content that has ever been produced. The computer-animated series was even created by Star Wars creator himself, George Lucas. It significantly expanded upon the prequel trilogy and even made watching Star Wars as a whole a richer viewing experience.

Possibly the most un-Star Wars-y Star Wars project of them all, Andor's willingness to focus on new characters and worlds and its exploration of subjects and themes not yet tackled in the franchise make it the most interesting and original show of them all. Centering on the character of Cassian Andor and set prior to the events of Rogue One, the series follows the thief from the planet Kenari as he transforms from a cynical, revolution-adverse scavenger to a key player in helping the Rebellion.

Darker, grittier, and more mature than anything Star Wars had done before, Andor is bursting with complex characters, intricate plots, and intelligent story-telling, which all form a largely standalone 12-part first season that is equally accessible to both long-term fans and casual viewers alike. While other shows have a tendency to get bogged down in fan service and rehashes of what's come before, Andor proves that Star Wars is at its best when it is telling original stories that work towards expanding the fictional universe.
