"Tales from '85 follows the Hawkins gang of Mike, Eleven, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max as they return to school after winter break. Unfortunately, their beloved science teacher, Mr. Clarke, is going on sabbatical, and he's being replaced by the lovably quirky Ms. Baxter."
"It's not difficult to see where the inspiration for this series came from. The 'midquel' setting, stylized animation style, and self-contained story are all eerily similar to Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the spinoff animated series that showed a new side to the Star Wars prequel trilogy."
"If Tales from '85 is Stranger Things' take on The Clone Wars, then Nikki Baxter is its Ahsoka Tano: a spunky new character only added in the spinoff, even though she's never referenced in the flagship."
Stranger Things: Tales from '85 is an animated spinoff that follows the Hawkins gang as they return to school after winter break.
