It's serviceable for what it is: A free animated short written and produced for girls aged 6-12. Still looking forward to the rest of these (they're apparently dropping a short a day until the 9th) because, as with Rebels, you're very likely to get some good-to-great stories out of something ostensibly "for kids".

Yeah they're going to be animated shorts filling in some "gaps" in the movies, all about female characters. Where possible, they're using the original actors. It's also partly (mostly?) to advertise a new toy line, which are basically action dolls (but as a Star Wars fan and a person with a daughter, they are super cool).

Cross-Section posted:It's serviceable for what it is: A free animated short written and produced for girls aged 6-12. Yes, and not just girls either. My five-year-old doesn't understand English, but the story is basic enough for him to follow, and he's requested six repeat viewings so far.

FYI, this was the one they showed at Celebration. And it makes a bit more sense in context now that it's aired after the first episode. Much more appreciative of it this time around.

And number three. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL6OPMp4IUY They've had better voice actresses for Leia in the past. This one sounds really off. I dug the "Yub Nub"-inspired background music though! The opening shot reminds me of the title cards for the old Ewoks animated series. Compare it to episode 4 "To Save Deej", and you'll see what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqt3y1mr8NQ Dave Syndrome fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Jul 5, 2017 |

Someone pointed it out in the YT comments, and I have to agree that these Forces of Destiny shorts are like deleted scenes. I love that I also found this illustration on ArtStation that I'm now using as my wallpaper.  Source here. Looking forward to the Ahsoka short.

Carrie Fisher must be a tough voice to do. I don't think I've ever really heard anyone nail it yet. Julie Dolan probably came the closest on Rebels, and I wasn't even a big fan because I thought she sounded way too old. But I couldn't even really hear any Leia in this new actress's performance in Forces of Destiny. e: I liked the short otherwise, though. Huge Ewoks cartoon flashback!

Next one is online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPS6Od-oxcc No idea if Catherine Taber is voicing Padmé again - I can't even remember what her voice sounded like in the cartoon, but this one certainly doesn't sound like Natalie Portman. One drawback of marketing the show to kids is that the action scenes are excruciatingly slow. This episode especially.

Dave Syndrome posted:And the next: Okay, this is practically stealing candy from a baby at this point. It also seemed like a really petty thing that almost felt out-of-character for Jyn (I know she doesn't have much of a character, but still) to do. Like, she kind of seemed like the type who would let the cat get kidnapped rather than give away her location to the Empire. Oh well, aimed at kids.

I figure Jyn kinda sticks her neck out for kids getting screwed by the Empire since she probably feels a connection to them. There's that frightened kid in Rogue One and then there's this.

Also, apparently we got a twofer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgNnBNvLB2Y This is much more like it. Always good to see IG-88, and the fact that the opening shot of this short is the same as the closing shot of the last one gives you the option to imagine that these events happened literally during the same timeframe and the characters juuust missed each other.

I read it as the assassin didn't know the appropriate protocol, and sticking the utensils out there like any other dinner, in error, is what gave her away to Padme
