I really liked this one as well. All of these don’t seem to have enough time to flesh out their stories but they’re doing well with what they’re given. The soundtrack for this one was my favourite so far. Probably has the best writing so far too, we’ll see though with the other episodes. It looks beautiful too.

Another decent episode. The score by Kevin Penkin was the highlight, as it was the best soundtrack so far and will probably continue to be, of these Star Wars episodes. Plus, we finally got the obligatory "May the force be with you" line. The Jedi at the end was pretty cool with her yellow sword lightsaber thingy and her special shoes. It was fun seeing those old useless androids again. The story felt like it was missing something, but again, the runtime makes it difficult to make something feel whole.

Best episode so far. Nice to see the Z-95 Headhunter getting some love, too. Its such a weirdly underused ship.

According to StarWars.com, her name's just "F"

Only episode I've watched, because I just couldn't resist the Kevin Penkin + Emi Evans combo. The OST was as awesome as I thought it would be. Probably will start watch the whole series soon

Was a fun episode following the Jedi Samurai movement.

Those Force amplifying heels are cool.

The guy really was wearing a rocket-helmet with enough explosive to destroy a fairly big ship. Thats dangerous even with high ground.

So, i saw Kinema Citrus but I did not realize Kevin Penkin was Kinema Citrus staff. But i heard the music and was like "THIS SHIT IS BEAUTIFUL" just to find out Kevin did the music. Awesome soundtrack in all of the episodes.

Really loved this one. The story was compelling and the female jedi's moves were insanely cool. Those force heels were sick. Loved her katana saber too.

The music was a standout and the visuals were really pretty. Speaking of pretty, the bride was really cute.

Overall, this one was solid and I have no real complaints about this. Arguably the strongest episode so far story wise.

I believe she voiced the sister of the bride and the big lady who grabbed the guy drinking.

Pretty decent episode. Definitely not my favourite as this episode was a bit slower but still good, the end part was the best imo. Really beautiful animation though and the score was beautiful to listen to, this episode was a lot more detailed and even though it was only 17 minutes a lot more slow burn than the other episodes. Loved seeing the Jedis shoes at the end and a pretty dope lightsaber ngl

Prob the 2nd one was most interested after the trailer, obv because of the girl. Liked it, pretty decent and it was very anime as obvious as it sounds. Cute Jedi with some weirdly cool lightsaber, not much to ask for =/

this is my favourite episode so far
it respected the lore, technology, and tone of star wars, creating something that felt familiar but also new.

and now it's brought up a question for me
how do you evaluate these shorts. Some of them are good stories and good anime but bad star wars. And therefore does that make them bad Star Wars animated shorts? Or is this just a symptom of experimenting with star wars as it expands into a new medium?

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Ichigo has dealt with her rejection from Hiro and has now become a Jedi. Talk about a character arc

Great soundtrack. The cutting off of the padawan's braid was awesome as well. I forgot if this is true, but I think the master is supposed to cut the braid. But of course since ichigo's master is probably dead, she cuts it herself. Then she unsheathes her katana lightsaber and does a mild version of zenitsu thunder clap and flash.

Still looking for some real substance here, because really it's just a hero coming in to save the day again. Are my expectations too high by expecting a love death and robots season one level of mindfuck? Probably. I still would like to see at least one of these episodes with some real oomph.

At least I can give this the "I'd like to see a movie of this" badge. 5/10

This episode was magical. Penkin's music that gave it a enigmatic feel and the plot made it so badass. If they ever go with a series for these stories, then this one prolly has a lot of potential.

This episode is fucking beautiful. I want more of it, really. The MC is such a waifu, especially with her Katana Proto-saber thingy... The fight was short but I think it fits her personality. Literally could have been its own series, really. ALSO SOUNDTRACK'S GREAT.

Back to the good stuff and the soundtrack for this one was especially good.
Nice story, the animation worked and the ending was pretty good.

Great episode. Only slightly worse than the first one, which I consider as the best episode of this show so far.

Beautiful music, Star Wars themes and the whole concept of this episode's story resulted in getting something truly incredible.

I creamed a little when I heard Kevin's soundtrack. Loved this episode.
Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is.

Favorite episode so far
Most spiritual as well. Nicely taught lesson that was nicely connected to the force as awhole.
In a short time they had I think they did a decent job with characters. Really loved the soundtrack.
Main jedi for me was most interesting part about this episode. I just want learn more about her and how she got that drip. Mostly those heels and yellow lightsaber that was made in an image of a darksaber.
Unlike certain other character in a certain other movie, only in sixteen minutes this jedi deserved that yellow lightsaber a lot more.

Decent episode, could've been better if they'd taken out the spiritual bullshit. But then I guess that's true to the theme because that's always fucked over the Star Wars movies.

I loved this episode. It somewhat reminds me of "The Duel" with a Jedi protecting a random town. This episode had much more character development and build up than the previous ones. I honestly wish we could see more of this Jedi. Hopefully in the future we will.

The crossover I didn't see coming.

Next to The Ninth Jedi this one was my favourite (although I still have to watch the last 3). I like how the creators used a small titbit from the lore for worldbuilding within the episode. The braid she cuts off looks like a padawan braid. The way I see the scene when she picks up the fight is the moment she abandons her ways of a padawan living on the run and stand her ground as someone who is worthy of the knight's title. Also, the main theme is great.

The highlight of this episode for me was Emi Evans, who's the vocalist of almost all of NieR's original soundtrack if I'm not mistaken. Definitely didn't expect to listen to her beautiful voice now much less in a Star Wars anime :)
The story was pretty simplistic and usually I hate simple generic stories but here it worked really well for what this series was going for. Or maybe I think that now because I watched Netflix's Love Death and Robots very recently so Idk. Kind of a shame it's not canon but I don't think it matters much when really thinking about it. Star Wars has a lot of awesome "non-canon" materials (thanks to Disney).

Kevin Penkin. That's a name I'm going to remember cos the OST went hard.

I recommand you to listen to the Tower of God and Rising of the Shield Hero OST's because they were also composed by Kevin Penkin

And watch Made in Abyss. The anime itself is already great, but its whole soundtrack (obviously made by Kevin Penkin) is on another level, that's certainly the best overall soundtrack I've ever heard in an anime

And if you liked the vocals in this Star Wars episode, I strongly suggest you to listen to all the OST of the NieR games since it's the same singer

Already watched ToG, but didn't know he composed the OST at the time. Thankfully, both shows you recommended are on my PTW list so extra reason to look forward to watching them.

I watched whole series in japanese but i checked out the dub out of curiosity.
The dub was bad, Bride sounded like 40 year old California girl and they changed the vow between bride and groom for no reason. Also they butchered the final scene, F (jedi girl) sounded too stern and self important as if she was lecturing people around her while originally she was much more softer and introspective in tone. The whole point of that scene was her getting healed (her surviviors guilt) by mono no aware of the village culture and moving on from her past (dead master etc.)
The dub has bad tendency of making people sound more badass or ironic in the wrong moments like in the elder where Padawan is way to ironic.
