I think it was a mistake to have another cartoon series so soon after Rebels. When you have a series that ends that strongly and it did, then there are going to be comparisons.


While the animation itself was better then expected. the storyline was relatively unexciting, the characters were generic, and the main hero was Ezra Bridger season one without good dialogue.


I know we have to give it time to get better, the starting point just didn't grab me.

Exactly this. So much potential.

Not sure we have a general Star Wars thread so I'll leave this here. This is a documentary that apparently has just surfaced on Youtube from 1980 about the making of Empire Strikes Back. I'm sure some of you supernerds have seen this, but I found it pretty interesting.



Interesting to hear Lawrence Kasden emphatically discuss that they are making Fantasy, not Sci-Fi.


Crazy amount of effort went into the practical effects, and watching the special effects is like seeing someone build an iPhone with a hammer and chisel. Amazing what they could do at the time.
