There is a big problem with Star Wars Animation…
Is the golden age of Star Wars animation over?
In this video essay, I take a hard look at the decline of animated Star Wars, from the peak of The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, to the more recent and disappointing entries like The Bad Batch, Tales of the Jedi, and Young Jedi Adventures. What happened to the storytelling, character arcs, and emotional depth that once defined this side of the franchise?
I explore why the Lucasfilm Animation legacy has struggled in recent years and why the future of animated Star Wars on Disney+ looks uncertain. With few new projects announced and creative risk-taking seemingly on pause, many fans are left wondering—is Star Wars animation dying?
Whether you're a longtime fan of the galaxy far, far away or just curious about the evolution of the franchise, this retrospective dives into what made Star Wars animation special—and why we’re in danger of losing it.
