4/5
An illuminating journey into the shadows of Star Wars’ underworld, with Cad Bane being its chief beneficiary.  Go to Full Review

3/4
The animation is frequently jaw-dropping, and the compelling characterization of Cad Bane practically saves the entire show from falling apart. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 05/08/2025
While the stories in Star Wars: Tales Of The Underground are a little skimpy, they help to deepen the characters of two well-known franchise villains. Go to Full Review
Polly Conway Common Sense Media 05/07/2025
These short stories aren't total redemption arcs, but do include some softening of the villains' usual antics. Go to Full Review

4/5
“Tales of the Underworld” features crisp animation that stays true to Lucasfilm’s distinct and established style. The voice acting and sound design remains top notch while the storytelling expands the lore...although in distinctly different ways. Go to Full Review
Alan French FandomWire 05/06/2025
8/10
The six-episode show should be an easy recommendation for anyone with even a passing knowledge of the Clone Wars. Even a layman will find each story interesting, with Westerns and adventures carved through a short runtime. Go to Full Review

Donald K @Awesomestar May 27 Ventress arc wasn't that great but Cad Bane was highly entertaining. Would benefit them all though if they just had time to flesh out some of the more intersting characters. Better than Tales of the Empire though See more Bruno S @SquaredCloth602 May 23 It’s one of those things. Nice story, sure. But honestly… I just can’t buy Ventress’ redemption arc. #BringBack2003Ventress. Aside from that, Cade Bane feels like the Martin Supreme version of Star Wars. See more stefan C @RT89536469 Mar 9 Interesting but not realy great. See more Crazy C @CrazyCanuck Jan 17 Doesn't hold a candle to Jedi, and sort of on par with Empire. Ventress' story had potential but ultimately there was nothing of actual substance other than to justify her return (from the dead; a tired trope now) in The Bad Batch. The point of her episodes (if any) beyond that is entirely lost on me, and the final episode seals the deal on that. Cad Bane's 3 episodes were the highlight of this series, but it would have benefitted much MUCH more if it had the time to develop emotionally, so that we could actually connect a little more with the characters and their relationships---but it was interesting enough to save this series (somewhat) for me. See more Nik F @RT27410084 Jan 5 Why the hell do I need Asajj Ventress? Give me Palpatine or Darth Maul👏💪! I don't need Asajj Ventress🤦, I don't want Asajj Ventress 🤮. Lord Jesus, when will you get into the heads of these 'amazing' people from Lucasfilm?🤦 #starwars a you...🤦🤦🤦 See more Daniel L @Hotchopeppa Nov 2 Love this but it needed more episodes. Far too good a show for it to only last 6 episodes. See more Read all reviews
