I mean... C'mon. This was the 80's when animation was pleasantly janky at best... unless it was GI Joe, Thundercats, Transformers, or He-Man. We'll sprinkle in a bit of Silver Hawks too just for good measure.

Even so, it's a nostalgic series that follows the two most well known droids in all of Star Wars as they bounce around with a new owner... again. Unfortunately Disney+ doesn't have the entire 2nd season available so one must do with what's provided.

This series had its high points and low points. Fight choreography was great but could've done without the use of Wire-fu. Some of the characters were creative: Jecki, Qmir, Sol...

I think this series detracts from the uniqueness of The Chosen One by having twins born of the Force and representing a dyad of sorts. It just didn't feel right.

The Plagueius cameo was cool but didn't go anywhere. The quasi-love flirt whatever between the protagonist and antagonist was lackluster.

But, it was new Star Wars. And new Star Wars is like pizza, tacos, and sex... Even when it's bad it's better than none at all.

As a fan of the titular character, I enjoyed this series. Especially after a binge rewatch which helped the story flow much better than the week-to-week model.

Dave Filoni touted this as Rebels Season 5 and the only disappointment was not seeing Zeb again. It was strange too that we learned that anyone could be a Jedi, even if they weren't overly force sensitive. A strange concept, but OK.

I was absolutely happy to see the interactions between the Master and Apprentice... IYKYK. No spoilers. I'm also equally excited to see what Filoni has in store for us in Season 2!

What a fun, wholesome, and nostalgic show! Season 1 made me want a Season 2 for sure. The visuals, the little connections to other legacy works. The imagination, the adventure, and the emotional undercurrents... All fun and exciting. Who doesn't like a good space pirate story? It reminded me of the first time I was exposed to A Galaxy Far, Far, Away and the narrative underscores that with the children.

Many people do not understand the place and purpose of this micro-series. The idea is to highlight small, yet KEY moments in an effort to provide deeper context to some of the larger concepts within the greater Star Wars narrative. I find myself gravitating back to the short but fun little episodes just to remind myself of some of the finer details of the overall narrative. Little connections, simple ings and chance meetings all add up to those "ah ha" moments that makes us deep-divers of Star Wars enjoy the franchise more and more.

Canon or not (and they're not), this wonderfully curated collection of stories from some of the best studios across the planet set in a Galaxy Far, Far, Away is a must see for those who are deep fans of the franchise. Season 1 is exclusively Japanese, likely in honor of one of George Lucas' inspirational icons: the late Akira Kurosawa. With notable studios offering stories of "What if?" and "What could be," it's sure to inspire the imagination of fans of both Star Wars and the anime genre alike. Season 2 expands the reach to studios across the globe and further expands on the "what could be" mentality and purpose of the series. A must see and a refreshing take on one of the most iconic franchises.

First mentioned in A New Hope in 1977, this series fleshes out the time between Episode 2 and 3 of the movie side of mainstream Star Wars. Launched into the limelight via a theatrical release, it pushed the boundaries of what many believed Star Wars to be. Some thought animation wasn't real Star Wars, some embraced it whole heartedly. The initial two seasons can be a little awkward, but as the viewer moves on, they find themselves more comfortable with the characters and more engaged with their stories. This series fought a large uphill battle and even with the gap in time between Season 6 and 7, it wraps up beautifully this era of the overall Star Wars narrative. Still one of my all-time favorites.
