Figured I'd start a thread. Just started watching the first episode. Will come back and comment as I watch them.

Episode 1 - The Duel: Pretty good. I liked the lightsaber umbrella. Not sure how the red kyber crystal was going to help rebuild the village.
Episode 2 - Tattooine Rhapsody: Just okay. The ending was underwhelming. I thought for sure the "microphone" would be used as a lightsaber to fight for their freedom. Instead, they won over Jabba with the power of song? Sure.

Episode 3 - The Twins: Decent episode. Got kinda crazy, but I liked it.
Episode 4 - The Village Bride: Gorgeous-looking episode with a great score.
Episode 5 - The Ninth Jedi: The best episode so far (and the longest).

is this kiddie or for adults? It’s animated. It’s like Star Wars meets Final Fantasy with a little Dragon Ball Z mixed in. |

is this kiddie or for adults? Different answer for different episodes. Some seem more directed to kids, some for adults. |

Episode 6: T0-B1 -- My new least favorite episode. The animation style is not to my taste, and the story was just okay.
Episode 7: The Elder -- Pretty good episode. I wonder what the old guy was hiding by blowing up his ship.

Episode 8: Lop and Ocho -- Great episode. I feel like it continues a theme found in the ST, that there is family your born wit, and there's family you choose.
Episode 9: Akakiri -- Both this episode an the previous one are kinda dark. Surprised they
d end with them back-to-back. This one feels like took inspiration from Hidden Fortress, much as George Lucas took inspiration from that film (most notably in the interactions between Artoo and Threepio). Very dark ending, but a wonderful episode.
