Review: Young Jedi Adventures is my young daughter's Star Wars

As a seasoned gamer and Star Wars enthusiast, I can confidently say that the latest addition to the franchise, “Young Jedi Adventures,” has been a breath of fresh air for both my gaming and parenting journey. With its engaging storyline, captivating visuals, and life lessons subtly woven into each episode, it’s like having a playdate with Obi-Wan Kenobi while teaching my little one the ways of the Force without even realizing it!


In simpler terms, the theme song plays for just 5 seconds before my daughter interrupts and pauses it. She pauses it momentarily to mimic the actions shown on screen while holding her lightsaber. The latest series, “Young Jedi Adventures,” is her biggest encounter with the Star Wars franchise so far.

The show first aired back in May, and it’s been warmly embraced not only by families but also by critics, receiving two Emmy Awards. This series unfolds during the High Republic period, focusing on three young Jedi trainees embarking on numerous adventures while they adapt to their new existence.

The narrative is straightforward and includes entertaining action scenes suitable for watching with my child. Similarly to shows like Daniel Tiger or Sesame Street, it also imparts important life lessons to my daughter as she starts learning about respectful interactions with others.

The best part of the Star Wars franchise is the relatable life lessons it can teach all of us

In the thrilling series called “Young Jedi Adventures“, the trio of young Jedi and their companions come across lessons on teamwork, empathy, and self-control, among others. These valuable skills are applicable to many young learners, yet they’re presented in an engaging manner that includes lightsaber battles, space travel, and pirate combat.

Among Star Wars enthusiasts who debate about the appearance of original trilogy characters in Disney’s recent productions, it’s delightful to see Yoda making an appearance as he embodies the venerable Jedi Master so well.

As a gamer, each appearance of the wise and timeless Yoda in the Star Wars series resonates deeply with me. For those adults watching, he seamlessly intertwines with the narrative’s grand scheme, while for the young ones, including myself, he delivers profound life lessons as only a Jedi Master can. Every time I see him on screen, it takes me back to the valuable insights I gleaned from my childhood viewing of The Empire Strikes Back.

As a gamer parent, I can tell you that my kid is absolutely smitten with Ahsoka Tano and “Baby Yoda.” She recognizes Rey and Chewbacca too, but often finds it hard to stay engaged with stories featuring them because of their adult themes. Instead, it’s the Young Jedi Adventures that really captivate her imagination. What makes this even more special is that while she’s spinning her lightsaber around, she’s also picking up valuable life lessons along the way, making her a better person overall.
