The TVI Take

Leslye Headland's 2024 Disney+ Star Wars prequel set in the High Republic era (~100 years before the Skywalker saga). The structural commitment to letting the Star Wars universe's earliest-historical period have its own mystery-and-Force-philosophy plot, at register the franchise had not previously attempted, was the production's most-ambitious element.

Cancelled after one season; underrated relative to discourse.
