    There’s beauty here, a moment or two across the nine episodes that are genuinely stunning. But ... Each of them seems to be explicit pastiches of anime films and styles rather than wholly original constructions.

    Yes, it’s visually and stylistically lush; but the stories presented here are diverting more than they are engrossing, making the whole thing feel a bit like franchise-flavored empty calories.

They got me with the firstIt is an amazing idea to let Japanese animation studios produce their own Star Wars stories and it works well. They got me with the first episode and they put heart and soul into everything. I watched the season in one sitting and say the force is strong here. It is as expected a mixture of Japanese culture aka anime, Samurai movies, style, tropes and ideas included into Star Wars. There is already an overlap as Samurai and Jedi are similar (Codex, lifelong training, great warriors, can fall to the dark side etc.) Before anyone mentions it: I know that most Jedi are not fighters but those are rarely shown in the movies, series and books (If you don't believe me just look up the agricultural corps, medical corps and diplomatic corps of the Jedi Order). Just as remark for the Show: The episodes are out of continuity or at least hard to pinpoint and hardcore fans should find some errors but this was never the point. It is about telling compelling stories, use ideas and connect this with the studios. I think I give an overview about the episodes: “The Duel” is inspired by “The seven Samurai” and an amazing start. Well paced, amazing style and impressive characters. Highlight of the show and worth continuing. “Tatooine Rhapsody” is unlike everything I expected and works quite well. I wont spoil anything and just say the episode rocks ;-). “The Twins” has great action, interesting ideas and 2 likable characters with the twins. Also good philosophical dilemma. “The village Bride” is a worldbuilding tale with a good climax. A set up for more I hope. “The ninth Jedi” has a great story, great characters, surprises and I hope they continue the story as I see great potential here. Easily another highlight. “T0-B1” This is charming and warms your heart. I was reminded of Astro Boy and Pinocchio. Good idea, main character and optimistic outlook. “The Elder” shows an adventure that has a meaningful lesson. Be it for a Jedi, Padawan or the viewer. “Lop and Ocho” is again something I want to see more of. Great lovable, characters, moral dilemma and emotions. Another highlight. “Akakiri” is like a Samurai drama and I am amazed that they pulled this of. This was awesome ride and I was deeply impressed. Many of these episodes are so good that I want to see more of the characters and how their stories progress. Even the episodes that are not my favorites have hearth and soul put into. Visually the style is excellent and truly a strength. Overall I give a 10/10 and say it was refreshing and amazing. We need more like this and I recommend it for fans of Star Wars, Japanese movies / culture and maybe even non fans.… Full Review »
