Full of pathos and lore, "Tales of the Jedi" returns us to the CGI style of "The Clone Wars" animated series and resituates us in the decline of the Republic era. Guiding fans through a cycle of births, deaths, and rebirths, Dave Filoni's six-episode anthology miniseries differ in spirit from the often-breakneck movement of "The Clone Wars," with each episode running shorter in average length but brimming with a distinctive emotional breadth and quieter introspection.

Balancing the Dark Side with the Light, Tales of the Jedi chronicles two characters with backstories never before explored on screen. Both Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano are given center stage in this short series that combines the rich animation of modern Star Wars with a spiritual...
