The most kid-friendly Star Wars show

This show takes place during the High Republic. There are no Skywalkers. The only familiar character is Yoda. This is great for younger viewers. It is a lot like PJ Masks. There is diversity, like there would be in a universe full of alien species. It is the most kid-friendly Star Wars property.

What's the Story?

Kai Brightstar (Jamaal Avery Jr.), Lys (Juliet Donenfeld), and Nubs (Dee Bradley Baker) are younglings studying to become Jedi masters. Learning under Master Yoda, the trio are serious about their training but still find lots of ways to have fun together. When they're transferred to a new Jedi Temple, they meet new friend Nash Durango, a young pilot who accompanies them on adventures and helps them fight foes.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2 ):
Kids say (2 ):

This lively series is just the right speed for younger kids who aren't quite ready for Darth Vader. It may seem like "Star Wars lite" compared to some of the darker, more mature entries in the franchise, but it's exciting to see an age-appropriate offering for the youngest fans. While grownup fans may worry about whether this series is canon, its intended audience will love adventuring along with these younglings, and parents will appreciate the focus on social-emotional lessons.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
