    Though firmly in the Lucas tradition, this is also a Disney cartoon, for a Disney crowd and a Disney corporation--watching, you can almost feel the plastic and the plush--and whatever the characters are up to, however cute or sentimental the business, it is smartly designed and cinematically staged, and not hard to enjoy.

    A shipshape, neato-burrito side project that finds the right balance between hype and hyperspace.

    In terms of succeeding creatively, they haven’t just tried; done it, they have.

    It’s a better-than-average, serious-minded science-fiction cartoon, with well-executed space chases and battles but also an introspection more reminiscent of Japanese anime than of the usual American children’s animation.

    Kids will love the show for its simplistic action, relatable protagonist, and of course, lightsabers and the Force. Adults looking for moreKids will love the show for its simplistic action, relatable protagonist, and of course, lightsabers and the Force. Adults looking for more mature themes, nuanced story, philosophical exposition, will find this show, like its Clone Wars predecessor, a massive disappointment. I'll stick to the non-YA books.… Full Review »

Some episodes even show kids to have a little perspective. Not all the separatists were bad, you arent supposed to take things at face value. I get that its supposed to be a kids show, but its freaking star wars. We grew up watching the live-action movies as little kids. This is honestly the goddamn backyardigans with lightsabers, even the computer animation has been softened up. It sucks this show is canon, huge disappointment. Maybe those that cant sit through the brain dead fluff fest that is Rebels will get a grittier novel or something. Have we forgotten that we grew up with violent cartoons? Batman beyond, Dragon Ball z, Transformers, Thundercats, He-man. People bleed, and people die, I have no honest idea why they made this cartoon just so damn weak!… Full Review »
