4/10
Pretty disappointing

Was intrigued to see more of Morgan and Barris to flesh their characters out and the questions that have been raised. That really only happened for Barris and even then that was brief. Morgan's episodes were just so unnecessary, there was absolutely no additional information learnt and no real substance other than Cameos (though I guess we do see how she met Thrawn). We already knew she was a night sister, was the magistrate on Corvus and was working with the empire. We just have further questions of how did she get to Corvus and become the magistrate, when and how did she become a ship designer as it doesn't seem like the natural path of a night sister. How'd she get off dathomir and reconnect back with the sisterhood.

I call into question the length of these stories as there's just not enough time to actually dive satisfyingly deep, though then again with what little time they had it looked like they really didn't have much further story to tell anyway, why not use a character you do want to expand on.

Barris's arc was more enjoyable, we got the answer of what happened to her post order 66, once again I would have liked to know more but these are very short episodes, but it was compelling enough. Good to see her not succumb to the dark side and walk a different path.

These quick character arcs I don't feel fit lesser known characters, with tales of the Jedi it felt like episodes answering a number of questions quickly for two main characters. Nice and satisfying. Tales of the empire however was one quickly rushed origin story with no substance and one question answered for a side character.

Voice acting A+, visuals and music A+
