Both of these projects are often counted among thebest - rankedStar WarsTV display , offer interesting brainwave into a galaxy far , far away with long - form storytelling . SinceThe Mandalorian ’s premiere , Star Wars’live - activity TV roster has grown boundlessly .
From the other installments ofStar Wars’New Republic timelinesuch asAhsokaandThe Book of Boba Fettto live - activity shows centre on iconic moving picture characters like Obi - Wan Kenobi and Cassian Andor , Star Wars’primary achiever of previous has come from Disney+ . This is only plant to continue withupcomingStar Warsshows , though many will trust the forged episode of the dealership ’s live - legal action TV show will have been learned from . While focusing on the negativity ofStar war ’ worst live - legal action TV instalment would be somewhat easy , it is deserving explore each of these to watch how they could have been ameliorate .
There are several television receiver show in the Star Wars canyon . Here ’s a equipment failure of every finish , on-going , and coming Star Wars show in chronological order .
10Din Djarin Aids Cara Dune In Protecting A Village From Bandits
The Mandalorian Season 1, Episode 4
Beginning the list of the worstStar Warslive - natural action episodes isThe Mandalorian , season 1 , instalment 4.It is deserving noting that most entries on this tilt would not be classified as " bad,“and the absolute majority have several redeeming qualities . That suppose , it persist the case that all entranceway are merely the least enjoyable of a great bunch ofStar Warslive - activity episode , beginning withThe Mandalorian,“Sanctuary . " While the Bible " makeweight " is often wrongly used in mod fandom as a catch - all condition for anything anyone dislikes , The Mandalorianseason 1 , episode 4 veers dangerously airless to fulfilling the actual meaning of a makeweight episode .
While the further growing of Din Djarin and Grogu save it from being classed as such , the plot of " Sanctuary " is plainly too far slay fromThe Mandalorianseason 1 ’s overarching story . TheSeven Samurai - inspired plot of ground is vastly fun and rewarding , yet feels derivative of similar stories told inStar warfare : The Clone Wars . As such , this plot of ground would have been improved if the Klatoonian raiders harassing the Greenwich Village belonged to an Imperial remainder . This elbow room , The Mandalorianseason 1 , sequence 4 would further Din ’s overall distaste for the Empire all while tying into the eventual goal - of - season chronicle of the show ’s first outing and foreshadowing Moff Gideon ’s future villainy .
9Obi-Wan & Leia Are Stranded On Daiyu
Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 1, Episode 2
Obi - Wan Kenobiepisode 2 , " Part II , " is much in the same vein asThe Mandalorianseason 1 , installment 4 . The instalment is not bad by any stretch of the imagination , yet has some topic rife that could have been improved to bump up the overall timber of the episode and the show it belonged to . The problem withObi - Wan Kenobiepisode 2 is unfortunately typic of the handsome problem with the entire show : pacing .
Obi - Wan Kenobiwas ab initio planned as a feature film film and the somewhat bloated write up of the show ’s six sequence show this would have been a good idea . Much ofObi - Wan Kenobiepisode 2 is fill with nonmeaningful dialog scenes , be it from Kumail Nanjiani ’s Haja or Moses Ingram ’s Reva . The military action sequence in the episode would work if it was a 10 - minute of arc subdivision of a two - hour flick , yet the tempo ofObi - Wan Kenobias a whole makes it sense moderately like filler .
Another wayObi - Wan Kenobiepisode 2 would have been better is by polish off the overly gratuitous fakeout of the Grand Inquisitor ’s death . While this plot point work for those who have not seenStar Wars Rebels , anyone aware of the story of the Grand Inquisitor was aware he would not be bolt down inObi - Wan . As part of an interconnected universe , Obi - Wan Kenobineedlessly shoehorn in a plot percentage point that alienated half of its audience . In removing this and tighten the pacing of the episode , perhaps by condemning the six episodes of the show into four , Obi - Wan Kenobiepisode 2 would have been much improved .
8Ahsoka, Sabine, & Huyang Travel To Seatos
Ahsoka Season 1, Episode 3
Much like the prior entries on this list , the eighth - bad live - actionStar WarsTV instalment suffers from mismatched pacing . The instalment in question isAhsoka time of year 1 , episode 3 , " clock time to Fly . " The sequence ’s biggest issue falls on the shoulders of the titular character ’s story , in which Ahsoka , Sabine , and Huyang travel to Seatos to discontinue the plot of Grand Admiral Thrawn ’s comeback while Hera Syndulla attempts to enlist New Republic support . The easiest melioration to this sequence is merely making Ahsoka ’s story further the overall plot in the way Hera ’s side of the instalment does .
The cock-a-hoop reveal ofAhsokaepisode 3 from Ahsoka ’s linear perspective is that Morgan Elsbeth is work up a hyperspace doughnut call the Eye of Sion , though this reveal fall flat as the ring was evince to the audience an episode before . The military action chronological sequence building up to this reveal subsequently does not have an impact either , as the revelation it was building to had already been show the episode prior . In saving this reveal forAhsokaepisode 3 , the journey to key the Eye of Sion would have come as a shock to the consultation as well , making the episode as a whole feel more consequential .
7Dr. Pershing’s Clone Tech Is Stolen By Elia Kane
The Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 3
The Mandalorianseason 3 , episode 3 can be remember for sample something young with the show . Unfortunately , the biggest problem with " The Convert " was how disconnected from the show ’s story it felt . This largely comes from the fact that the story was intended to be part of the canceledRangers of the New RepublicTV show , yet still , the screenwriter could not find a way to weave it with Din Djarin ’s character . The titular Mandalorian is reduced to bookending the sequence , with the scene imply Din not tying to Dr. Pershing ’s slow albeit true challenging story of clon technology in any way .
As such , the easiest way to improveThe Mandalorianseason 3 , sequence 3 is the same answer that was presented forThe Mandalorianseason 1 , installment 4 . Firstly , Din Djarin ’s account should have been intercut with Pershing ’s . In doing so , the fib would not feel so jarring . This intercut tale of Din should have focused on the Mandalorian covert earreach whispers of Gideon ’s return and investigating this base on the latter ’s destruction of the Navarra hideout in season 1 . This way , both plot line would augur Gideon ’s eventual return in season 3 , sequence 7 , make the story of episode 3 sense much more ordered with the overarching tale than it did .
The storyline ofRangers of the New Republicwill be bind even closer toThe Mandaloriangoing onwards given that Din ’s time of year 4 story will center on his foeman to Imperial oddment in the Outer Rim of theStar Warsgalaxy .
6Obi-Wan Rescues Leia From The Fortress Inquisitorius
Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 1, Episode 4
LikeObi - Wan Kenobiseason 1 , installment 2 , the big job with episode 4 of the show lies in the fact that the floor feels symbolic of stretching a two - hr report to six episodes . The quest to rescue Leia from the Fortress Inquisitorius is resolved by one of the single most goofy things inStar Wars ' farseeing history as Leia hides under Kenobi ’s trench coat , stretching the suspension of disbelief to extremes . unluckily , the only write up prospect furthered in the episode is that Reva is now tracking Leia to the location of the Hidden Path , something that could have very easily been written into episode 3 ’s ending given Reva had Leia in her clutches .
5Boba Fett’s Life After The Tuskens Is Revealed
The Book of Boba Fett Season 1, Episode 4
The Book of Boba Fett ’s biggest problem is monovular to that ofObi - Wan Kenobi , as both show were initially plan as feature films . ManyBoba Fettepisodes find too devoid of any real storey progression grant that the season is an elongated picture show script . The Book of Boba Fettseason 1 , sequence 4 , " The Gathering Storm , " epitomizes this .
While the flashbacks to Boba ’s return to action are challenging , it is the present - day plot that moves at a snail ’s yard . The only thing achieved regarding secret plan or character is the enlisting of Krrsantan and Mos Espa ’s offense bosses depone they will stay neutral in the war between Boba and the Pykes , something turned back in the stopping point anyway . As such , an improvement would have been introducing the Pyke - truehearted Cad Bane in this episode , start out to explore the account and feud between him and Boba Fett . This would have madeThe Book of Boba Fettepisode 4 much more exciting while tying to the overarching history of time of year 1 .
4Din Djarin’s Quest For Atonement Begins
The Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 1
Undoubtedly the biggest problem withThe Mandalorianseason 3 ’s first two episode is that the pure story for them was utilized inThe Book of Boba Fett . Switching two instalment ofThe Book of Boba Fettto focus on Din Djarin adversely bear upon both that show andThe Mandalorian . The stories of Din reckon with the loss of Grogu to Luke Skywalker , reuniting with his adopted child , expose the legacy of the Darksaber , and being sent on his quest to atone for off his helmet should have been save forThe Mandalorianseason 3 rather than include inThe Book of Boba Fett , a show that was not Din ’s narration .
As a result of this , the premiere ofThe Mandalorianseason 3 would have been vastly improve . The heavy problem with the sequence in question is that it drop too much clip recapping the events of Din’sBoba Fettstory , include these element amid meaningless meetings between Din Djarin and formerMandocharacters . The episode palpate incredibly slight as a event , which would have been improved by combining it withBoba Fett’sMandalorian - centric account .
3Din Djarin Aids A Gunslinger In Catching A Valuable Bounty
The Mandalorian Season 1, Episode 5
As is a unwashed composition on this listing , the biggest problem withThe Mandalorianseason 1 , sequence 5 is that it does not further the show ’s story or characters in any capacity . This job is weave into a story involving a one - off side role who is written with a great academic degree of annoyance to the audience , as Din embarks on a pointless commission that only goes to foreshadow Fennec Shand ’s future function inStar Wars . An improvement to this instalment would be as simple as having Grogu on the mission , foster his and Din ’s early family relationship as the latter appear to protect the former from dangerous assassinator and gunslingers .
2Boba Fett Recruits The Mods
The Book of Boba Fett Season 1, Episode 3
The worst episode ofThe Book of Boba Fettand the second - worst live - actionStar WarsTV episode is episode 3 , " The Streets of Mos Espa . " As is the case with sequence 4 ofThe Book of Boba Fett . the episode ’s gravid issue is the complete lack of forward plot propulsion . The only outcome of the episode is Boba receiving a Rancor , his hiring of the Mods , and the reveal that the Pykes are Boba ’s enemies , something already revealed in episode 2 by the Pyke spice train being round .
Even the action sequence at the end of the instalment makes for one ofStar Wars’worst , as the slowest chase scene in the franchise ’s account takes position . whet this chase would add a much - needed acid of epinephrin to this episode , with faster vehicles , better pellet composition , and quicker redaction being needed . If this had been done , and the Pyke bring out from instalment 2 was saved for this installation , The Book of Boba Fettepisode 3 would have been improved .
1Din Djarin & Bo-Katan Investigate A Separatist Plot On Plazir-15
The Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 6
The worst episode ofStar Wars’live - activity television set compendium is " Guns for Hire,“The Mandalorianseason 3 , episode 6 . The sequence is poorly paced and too goofy , with the authoritative aspects of type and story left for the final five minute of the episode in favor of a meaningless sidequest . If the facial expression of this sidequest were more serious in feel , the installment would already have been improve . The community of Plazir-15 and the characters play by Lizzo and Jack Black feel like they were ripped from a pasquinade ofStar Warsrather than the dealership itself .
Concerning advance outside of the removal of Plazir-15 ’s silly tone , it would have been better if Bo , Din , and Axe had gone on the episode ’s side adventure together . Furthering Axe ’s relationship with Bo throughout the episode would have made his connection of her feel much less rushed , and this would have let Din giving up the Darksaber to become more than a thwarting technicality . Not only would this have improvedThe Mandalorianseason 3 ’s overall story , but it would have kept an important aspect of severalStar Wars ’ TV show like the Darksaber and the leadership of Mandalore as a vital secret plan point rather than an second thought .
