Episode 2 was not to my taste

Stopped there. 1 was good though

Yeah, I don't think they should have made that the second episode, my first thought when I saw it was that anyone who wasn't familiar with that specific genre of Anime was going to be like "WTF" and bail. The other episodes are better, although I didn't think any of them were great.

Still, a cool idea, nice to see them trying some new things.

I enjoyed the stories and was surprised how unsurprised I was at the fit of Star Wars in anime style. It felt like it worked.

Some of the episodes (Ninth Jedi, Bride, even Twins to some extent) felt almost like pilot episodes more than self-contained shorts to me. I found all of those pilot-like episodes interesting and engaging enough to where I would be more than happy to watch more of them.

And the Kurosawa fan in me loved The Duel!

It is greatly made but i don’t like the fact that there are no connections between each episode. It feels like we jump from one story to another and i dont really see where it’s going.

If it had a common main story it would be really much better

So far I’ve watched 1 and 7. I’d say that they were good, and they were better than I expected, given that I don’t watch anime much.

I pushed all the way through because "star wars" - I wasn't overly entertained at any point. I found myself often saying, "but that's not how that works."

Even with the episodes that had potential (I felt that there were few of these) I just kept thinking that it felt wrong. I think if it was something NOT star wars I would have enjoyed it more and been more interested in where the stories might go.

It's like taking a sip of tea only to find out that there was orange juice in the glass. It's fine that it's orange juice, but it's not what you wanted or expected.

Surely the point of the series is to tell it slant. I think as a whole it’s done just that and in some cases added some depth too. I enjoyed the whole metatextual symmetry of using Hidden Fortress as the framework for Akakiri - that’s got to resonate with Star Wars fans. I also thought the T0 B1 Astroboy tribute had proper layers as well as a tight story and in my opinion the slickest art. I suppose it’s a bit like What If - playing with a genre to get the cogs turning. Sadly as evidenced by the JJA movies, the big screen canon version of Star Wars think new ideas are the last thing that’s needed. I’d totally be cool with the odd visions character slipping through the net into the holotables.

Twins was just bad. Force or not you cant talk in space

I've finished 7 out of 9 episodes and it's been pretty mediocre. Based on the trailer and the concept, I was expecting it to be a lot better.

Twins was so bad I didn't even finish it. Why would he have an X-Wing? Why is his r-2 unit imparting yoda's teachings? Why is he standing on the nose of his X-Wing in space?

Apart from that, a character yelling his internal thoughts to show what is happening is just bad storytelling.

Are any of the episodes worth the time it takes to watch them?
