While I'm no Star Wars fan, I found this to be much more enjoyable than I anticipated. It's also a very short watch, less than 3 minutes long. The animation style itself was a lot more simplistic than what we see in other works by Studio Ghibli, however I found it very cute nonetheless.

Unfortunately, the reason I docked points (and therefore stars) while reviewing this, is a pretty strong one. The story they are attempting to tell within the animation is a bit muddy. It can be hard to decipher what the character's thinking, or what is going on.
The readability of the ... action also suffers a bit in this piece.

I believe what saves this ONA is the cute, almost hand-drawn feeling of the artwork, the background music and the adorableness that is Grogu. The way this art makes use of color at certain moments really sells the piece as a whole.

Although I have found personal enjoyment within this piece of media, it's certainly not for everyone. With a hard to follow line of action, it may leave viewers with more questions than when they started. Also not recommended for those who don't like Star Wars.

Honestly, unless you're really into the history of animation, I wouldn't recommend watching this.

While this might've been considered impressive in the time period it was created in, it does not stand the test of time. The video was grainy, the animation honestly could've been much better. While I do understand that this is the best they had to offer back then, and I feel bad rating it so harshly for that, I'll be honest: It's bad. In our modern day and age, it's very, very bad. You likely won't gain anything from watching this, other than a stronger appreciation for the anime we have ... today.

Although, I did like watching the triangles, they were sort of trippy. However, you can find a bunch of better quality videos very similar to that part on YouTube.

Overall, it's a piece of history, but maybe it's one better left in the past. I give it 2 stars, 1 star for the triangles being cool, and the other to show my respect for the work that went into it. Other than that, it really doesn't deserve any more stars.
