Four episodes deep, Obi-Wan Kenobi is already the best Star Wars show on Disney Plus, easily.

Darth Vader has never felt more sinister and Ewan McGregor is killing it as a weakened Jedi Knight trying to get his groove back. This is everything I hoped for and more.

Star Wars: Visions (2021)

Anecdote time: I made my kids watch the original Star Wars trilogy. They hated it. 

I made them watch Star Wars: Visions. They loved it. Star Wars: Visions is a collection of anime style shorts, much like the classic Animatrix collection that launched in The Matrix series.

There’s some absolutely dazzling stuff in here. A must watch for any Star Wars fan.

This new Star Wars series is a spinoff of the lauded The Clone Wars. Using the same CGI-animated style, The Bad Batch follows a squad of elite clone troopers who all have genetic defects, which may or may not give them special abilities. From Dave Filoni, producer of The Mandalorian, The Bad Batch even features Fennec Shand (voiced by Ming-Na Wen), from the live-action show. A more than solid 16-episode diversion that should particularly satisfy those partial to delving deeper into Star Wars lore, and it’s been renewed for a second season.

The Clone Wars (2008-2020)

And of course, you have to watch the original and best: The Clone Wars.

Surprisingly many Star Wars fans haven’t taken the time to check out The Clone Wars. They absolutely should. Some of the highlights of Star Wars as a franchise occurs in this show. It’s not always perfect, but when it’s good it’s very good.

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (2019—)

If you’re not into the High School Musical film series, then this mockumentary might be a little more your thing. Especially since it’s a tongue-in-cheek look at a group of musical theater students putting on a musical inspired by the films in the exact same school the films were shot. Still, it doesn’t veer too far from its source material, featuring a romance between its two leads — Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett. Fans of Glee will find much to get on board with over its two seasons (and two specials), with a third on the way.
