Star Wars: Forces of Destiny

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!

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

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"...

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.
