Star Wars: Fuerzas del destino

Really good stories but not sure I understand the very short episodes? Would have been superb with full length episodes.

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!

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 !

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.

What can I say without spoilers? This series is actively fighting for "Christmass Special" crowd. First things first - animation. It's really bad. Both the graphic design and the actual animation looks like something made by untalented fan. If that was the case - I would apploud the effort. But it's Disney production and I can't really understand what drove them to make that atrocious graphic style choice. It's like mistaking simple stuff with simpleton - sounds right about familliar, but actually are oposites. I would say I'm guilty of watching some poor series with good graphics only because they please me esteticly. True - but I can watch awful animation if the plot is kicking, so how "Forces of Destiny" is doing in this department? Well... it's not. The stories are shamefully weak. Both protagonists and antagonists are poorly writen and developed which leads to unpleasent expirience. The writers are clearly pushing some agenda - and I wouldn't mind that much, if they would create entertaining show on the way. Well... they didn't. And I had pretty little idea why - they were so preoccupied with telling viewer what to think, to tell them actuall compeling story. So why a gave 3 stars? Well, the show have some redeeming qualities (hidden really deep), it can throw few interesting nodes into canon, and it can (barely) expand some known (and loved by me) characters. I would love to see this series rebooted and done right by some competent writers and animators that know what they are doing. My opinion? Give it a try, maybe Your kids will watch it and won't hold a grudge... but on the other hand - why risk it? Show them "Gravity Falls" or "Star vs. the Forces of Evil", or "Clone Wars", "Rebels"...
