Star Wars: Die Mächte des Schicksals

This series introduced snippets between the theatrical movies and animated series. Most of them have reprised their roles as providing their voices.

Not as bad as we see here, if you understand what went through. We know some of the back stories behind some of the changes or attitude of caracters which made the "Forces of Destiny" in the "Star Wars" world...

And by the way, yes Stormtroopers are nasty, but do not deserve an Ewok "spit-roasting" after defeat... So says Leia !

Many people are writing terrible things about a kids show because it's ruining "their Star Wars." The truth is this show is for kids. It's a great way for parents who love Star Wars to bond with their kids who love Star Wars without having to sit down for a 2 hour movie. The fact of the matter is writing a bad review of this with reasons such as "the story and animation suck" is like writing a review on peppa pig saying the same thing.

Oddly enough then I had actually never heard about this 2017 animated "Star Wars" series titled "Star Wars: Forces of Destiny" before here in 2022, as I happened to stumble upon it by sheer random chance. And with it being a "Star Wars" title and me being a huge fan of the franchise, then there was no doubt about me picking this up and watching it.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this being an animated series, but of course I gave the series the benefit of the doubt. The only thing that really bothered me about this series was the run time of the episodes.

And I will say that I actually was genuinely surprised with "Star Wars: Forces of Destiny", despite of the short run time for each episode. I liked the stories, despite of it being mere snippets of stories actually, and it was enjoyable that they spanned over the prequel era, the original saga era and the sequel era. Not to mention a great variety in characters showing up in the series as well.

The art style and animation was good, and I will say that of all the animated series in the franchise, then "Star Wars: Forces of Destiny" is definitely one of the better and more outstanding of shows.

And the voice cast was great, it was especially amazing that they had so many of the original voices of the characters show up and do the voice acting.

If you like "Star Wars", then "Star Wars: Forces of Destiny" is definitely worth watching.

I am rating "Star Wars: Forces of Destiny" a six out of ten stars.

Forces of Destiny, compacts everything Lucas wanted to achieve with Star Wars into 3 mins stories. Action and adventure with a strong moral within the narrative. Yes it's simple animation, and yes the stories are short and very twee. But that's the point, clearly some of "so called" fans missed the point with FOD that it's not made for them. I sit with my 2 yr old and he loves them, just the right duration for him to keep him entertained and educate him on what's right and wrong. They're great... don't believe the haters!

Now I understand this show is normally for kids way younger than the average who would watch Cartoon Network or Disney XD, The only thing that's making me want to talk about it is that it's confirmed canon. The reason why this is a problem is because the stuff I see in the series feels WAY too out of character. None of the characters really feel any similar to the characters I would see in the movies or the Clone Wars show except for the Ewok episode. The way the characters are portrayed in the series and how they deal with a problem is really corny, and the animation of the show is too weak to support it. I wish this show could've worked much more to the characters put into this series. But now like I said, if this wasn't canon, I'd mostly give it a past for it being a kid show, but is there a downfall to this beyond the canon problem? Well, sort of, As I said before the character designs and the animation look very off. But this isn't the worst to come out of Star Wars, so I'm cool with it.
