In a galaxy that feels remarkably close to home, the launch of The Mandalorian on Disney+ marked a pivotal moment for Star Wars fans. The series, featuring the enigmatic Din Djarin and the adorable Baby Yoda—officially known as Grogu—captured hearts and catapulted Pedro Pascal into the role of a reluctant surrogate father. The show not only sparked a frenzy for Baby Yoda merchandise but also paved the way for a new era of Star Wars storytelling on streaming platforms. Following the divisive sequel trilogy, these fresh live-action adventures were a breath of fresh air, offering fans captivating journeys that enriched the Star Wars universe in profound ways.
From the weekly quests of Din Djarin and Grogu to the return of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen as Obi-Wan and Anakin in their own series, the revival of Boba Fett post-Sarlacc pit, and the transition of beloved animated characters into live-action, these shows have delivered exactly what fans yearn for: thrilling new narratives, distinctive characters, and poignant insights into themes like tyranny and the cost of rebellion.
But how do these series stack up against one another? Which ones have soared to the top of fans' lists, and which have been less well-received? From The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett to Andor and The Acolyte, let's rank the Star Wars Disney+ live-action shows from the least impressive to the pinnacle of excellence. While we're at it, let's give a nod to the legendary Han Solo—Ben Solo's father, a character absent from these series but certainly the antithesis of "bantha fodder."
