The Mandalorian Season 1, Episode 1
“Chapter 1: The Mandalorian”
It is hard to believe that The Mandalorian Only premiered 5 years ago, wasn’t it? Star Wars Has changed so much since then. The pilot episode marked the beginning of a new era for the franchise and brought with it a fresh, exciting atmosphere. This was the new beginning Star Wars Desperately needed after the divisive reaction to the Star Wars The final installment of the sequel trilogy, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
But it’s not just an important episode because of what it did for the franchise as a whole. This episode is just a big piece of TV storytelling, period. The introduction of Dean Djarin, the mystery of ​​the Mandalorian secret, his practice of bounty hunting and, of course, the first fateful meeting with the child make this one of Star WarsThe most rewatchable and most popular live-action TV episodes of all time.

The Mandalorian Season 1, Episode 8
“Chapter 8: Redemption”
The first season of The Mandalorian Really has it all, and that includes an excellent rewatchable season finale. Not only did it neatly tie together the rest of the season’s plot and give each of our favorite characters the hero moment they deserved, but it also set the bar high for future Star Wars TV shows – emotionally, most of all.
The first revelation of Dean Djarin is still one of the most impressive moments in Star Wars‘ Complete Live-Action TV Catalog. Even five years later, it still hits us where it hurts, perhaps even more so, because of everything we’ve been through with the character since then. But it wasn’t just about Dean Jirin. The entrance of the villain of Moff Gideon is also worth a review. That Darksaber reveal really blew our minds.

The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 5
“Chapter 13: The Jedi”
Given how much Dave Filoni loves Ahsoka Tano, it was only a matter of time before she made the transition from animation to live-action. The result was The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 5, “The Jedi.” Little did we know what Rosario Dawson’s minor guest role would eventually lead to. Years later, Grand Admiral Thrawn was finally found!
Not only did Dawson knock it out of the park in her debut, but her dynamic with Din Djarin and The Child—sorry, Grogu—was a joy to watch. Learning Grogu’s name is perhaps one of the most compelling moments in The MandalorianNot only because a piece of his past has finally been revealed to us, but because the truth has changed as well. Let’s not forget the Lady Morgan Elbeth b-site either. Her duel with Ahsoka is riveting.

The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 8
“Chapter 16: The Rescue”
Clearly, this episode would be included in the list all along. It’s everyone Star Wars Fan’s dream come true. Not only did Dean and Grog team up with some old and new friends like Fennec Shand, Boba Fett, and Bo-Katan Kryze, but Luke Skywalker, of all people, got to show us just how powerful a Jedi he’s become.
Despite some wonky facial CGI, there’s no denying that Luke’s entrance on Moff Gideon’s cruiser is nothing short of spectacular. He is graceful, strong and commanding – it’s no wonder Grogu is so drawn to him. Luke isn’t the only character that makes this episode worth a rewatch, though. Dean Djarin and Grogus’ “final” farewell is heartwarming in the best way. This episode really proved how far they have come, and how much they love each other.

The Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 3
“Chapter 19: The Envelope”
This episode is probably a controversial addition to the list. It was undeniably jarring when it premiered—instead of being thrust back into the fight with Bo-Katan, Dean, and the rest of the Mandalorian clan, we were instead transported to Coruscant to learn a little more about the New Republic’s governments. System. And yet, it worked.
This is arguably the most important episode of The Mandalorian season 3, which should tell us all something about the overall narrative trajectory in the show’s final season. Everything that is significant feels rushed, and everything that is not significant is leisurely explored. Although “The Envelope” was clearly a re-used storyline that was supposed to be part of the canceled Rangers of the New Republic Show, it’s vital nonetheless. It shows that the New Republic’s grip on the galaxy is incredibly precarious and that they are unprepared for what’s to come.

The Book of Boba Fett Episode 5
“Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian”
sad, The Book of Boba Fett Is not the show that this iconic legacy character deserves. Despite some interesting additions, like Boba’s dynamic with the Tusken Raiders, much of the show felt rushed, irrelevant and slow. One episode, however, stands out above the rest. Too bad this episode isn’t about Boba Fett at all.
This episode may be a slow burn, but it’s worth it, as we’re reunited with Dean Djarin for the first time since his emotional goodbye with Grogu. As he struggles to get hold of the legacy and the power of the Darksaber, we get to see a different side of Dean and of the galaxy as well. The visuals are stunning, Dean gets a shiny new ship, and best of all, this episode feels like a return to form. I wish Dean would just stay alone a little longer.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 6
“part like”
Just like The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi Nor was it what we all hoped it would be. While Obi-Wan’s relationship with Leia, his tense dynamic with Vader, and Reva’s devastating character circle are all worthy of praise, something is missing. The show’s only six episodes certainly didn’t help matters.
One of the six episodes is, however, worthy of a rewatch. The finale not only brought us the gut-wrenching visual of Vader’s destroyed helmet after their (badly lit) duel together, but it also gave us a tense final showdown with Reva at the Lars homestead on Tatooine, a lovely final goodbye with A young princess. Leia and Qui-Gon Jinn’s Force Ghost. It’s an intriguing, fast-paced episode. It proved what the show could have been had Lucasfilm been willing to take more creative risks.

Andor Season 1 Episode 6
“The Eye”
Andr A miracle indeed. Not only is it a fantastic Star Wars Show, it’s an incredible show, full stop. Although the character of Cassian Andor was close Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Andr proved that he had much more to say. This is a show about perseverance in the face of great oppression, colonization, dictatorship, hope, love, and more. It’s all that matters Star Wars, Star WarsDialed up to 11. And they did it all without involving the Jedi.
“The Eye” is a perfect example of the kind of story that Andr is successfully trying to achieve. Every second is tense, every moment is important, and even though you’ve only known the characters for a short time, you want them to succeed. The episode is also visually stunning. The moment when the ship finally leaves the planet will take your breath away, no matter how many times you’ve seen it. It’s the Northern Lights on steroids.

Andor Season 1 Episode 10
“one way out”
What is there to say about “one way out?” It is a masterpiece. It will make you hate the Empire even more than you already do, root for a thousand unnamed prisoners, and curse whoever it was that decided Andy Serkis should be hidden behind CGI. His performance sells the episode. His speech alone needs to be watched a hundred times, and that says something because of that Andr Includes a lot of great monologues. This episode has two! Luthen Rael’s sacrificial speech at the end of the episode is also incredibly moving.
This episode is an emotional rollercoaster. Just when you think you can cheer because the prisoners make their escape, Serkis’ movie Louie reveals the saddest truth of all: he can’t swim. He helped his prisoners escape to freedom, knowing full well that he would not be able to do everything. Review this episode in his honor.

Andor Season 1 Episode 12
“Rick’s Way”
“Rix Road” is the perfect finale to an almost perfect season. Everything works; Cassian’s emotional turmoil after his adoptive mother’s death, Merva’s captivating and stirring speech as played during her funeral, the tension in the build-up to the riots, the music, the cinematography and the action. The latest tease with the Death Star is spine chilling. Everything is in perfect sync – no stone is left unturned and no storyline is forgotten. With each rewatch, you’ll notice some new details you missed. That’s right.
However, it is important to do that Andor was able to have such an incredible series finale because it was given the opportunity to create such a powerful story over the course of 12 full episodes. Few streaming shows are given this much free space, but when they are, the result is Andr. hope, Star Wars Will take this lesson to heart. Six episodes for a show like that Obi-Wan Kenobi Just not enough.

Ahsoka Season 1 Episode 5
“Part Five: Shadow Warrior”
Anyone who’s ever dreamed of a live-action Clone Wars adaptation got what they wanted in this undeniably thrilling episode of Ahsoka. Although there is a lot to love about the show, especially as it continues Star Wars RebelsLegacy, “Part Five: Shadow Warrior” provided a closer look into Ahsoka Tano’s psyche, and the result was mesmerizing. She had to face her guilt and her fears, and watching her do it was incredibly cathartic. Her transformation into “Ahsoka the White” is what we’ve all been waiting for.
While Rosario Dawson did a fantastic job, Ariana Greenblatt’s performance as a Clone Wars-era Ahsoka makes this episode extra special. Her dynamic with Hayden Christensen is fantastic. It’s like watching an episode of The Clone Wars come to life, and Christensen’s performance perfectly marries the franchise’s two interpretations of Anakin Skywalker’s character. There is no shortage of moments to love, and that’s why it deserves to be on the list. It’s everything animated fans love about Star Wars.

Ahsoka Season 1 Episode 7
“Part Seven: Dreams and Madness”
That was the moment Star Wars Rebels Fans have been waiting for. Ever since Ezra Bridger selflessly sacrificed his future with his Ghost Crew family to defeat Grand Admiral Thrawn and free Lothal from the Empire’s clutches, Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren and the fans of the show have been rooting for him. This episode finally gave us an answer and a wonderfully heartfelt reunion between Ezra, Sabine and Ahsoka. Eman Esfandi also proved that he was the absolute perfect choice to portray this animated character – no one could have done it better. Our boy is finally going home.
That’s not all, though. This episode not only gave us Ezra Bridger in the flesh, but also Grand Admiral Thrawn. Lars Mikkelsen’s return as the Empire’s most cunning tactician was oddly comforting – while he’s a terrifying character, it was clear he was in good hands. This episode, even more than the finale, was a turning point in the so-called Mandoverse. Ezra, Thrawn and the Nightsister are all back in the game. This is one episode we’ll be returning to when other future New Republic projects are released, I’m sure.

The Acolyte Episode 5
“night”
The acolyte Wasn’t a perfect show. This does not mean that we cannot mourn the fact that it no longer has a future, because it is the only one Star Wars TV show will be set in an entirely new and relatively unexplored era: the High Republic. During this era, the Jedi are at the height of their power – this is their very own Golden Age, as they are scattered across the galaxy, numbering in the tens of thousands, and believe they have a handle on the dark side. There was so much potential in it The acolyteAnd episode 5, “Night,” is a perfect example.
This is a frantic, action-packed, unbelievably exciting piece of Star Wars narrative. The Sith Lord’s discovery and his battle against the Jedi is mesmerizing. The Jedi outnumbered him, but he cut them down easily, using his altered lightsaber and Cortosis helmet and gauntlet to do so. This is the Jedi in action as we have never seen them before – and may never see them again. If you’re ever in the mood for some serious lightsaber spectacle, this is the episode you should watch, over and over again.
