"Already So Many Have Suffered For What You Call Order."


Yaddle


PLOT

"It showcases animated shorts that feature Jedi from the prequel era" or "Star Wars is back at doing what's best at"


SCRIPT

This is where the series excells, by telling short stories about Ahsoka Tano, the fall of Dooku and the righteousness of Qui-Gon Jiin. Even though every story has little more than 10 minutes of screen time, it manages to presents characters with an arch and a conflict which is remarkable.

The thing I've liked the most is the fact that they show us Dooku's path toward the Dark Side, which deepen an interesting villain by making us sympathise a bit for his reasons and point of view.

I'm surprised and satisfied by this Star Wars and I hope that Dave Filoni will finally get to write a movie or a trilogy, because he knows his stuff and is passionate about the Star Wars universe.


Script: 9/10


ACTING

The voice actors are good but they don't add much to the characters. Even though I've expected more, their performances are still decent enough to garner a seven in this section.


Acting: 7/10


PHOTOGRAPHY

It's good because the light isn't flat and colors play a relevant role. Nonetheless I don't consider it remarkable. It's on par with the rest of animated content about Star Wars.


Photography: 6/10


EDITING

It isn't remarkable or impressive, even though it has the usual transitions of Star Wars.


Editing: 6/10


SPECIAL EFFECTS

The animation is wonderful and in line with the latest season of The Cloen Wars. I like how the designs have evolved since the first episode of TCW.


Special Effects: 7/10


SOUNDTRACK

Faithful to the Williams score with some variations in it. Even though it isn't as remarkable as The Mandalorian's, it's still pretty good, as it sets the tone of this universe perfectly.


Soundtrack: 8/10



COSTUMES

Usual Star Wars costumes but here there's a Sith who have a sick costume and elevate the quality of its episode.


Costumes: 6/10
