It's Star Wars, so I watch it but seriously, it's so formulaic. Space map, mega machine under construction that needs destroyed, gotta find/rescue someone, learning to use the force... just really weak, lame writing and the acting doesn't give it much life either. David Tenant does well as Huyang, but I don't see much of Asohka in this performance. Just another mad libs script performed with low passion. The only plus is Hayden's work as Annakin. He was the only part worth watching.

We've watched the whole thing now and I really do like it. I can't do most anime (the portrayal of women and disparity between the animation of spoken word and what is spoken just grind on my nerves too badly) but this adaptation made the story more accessible to me. My husband and kids like the anime, so having this brings us together on something during which I typically would go read a book. The characters are fun and relatable. The story, while a cliche about pirates seeking treasure, is anything but cliche because of how it is told and the character development. It pulls in elements of fantasy in a fun way. Various characters have super powers, but they don't come across as super heroes. I don't know how to explain it, but this series just does a really great job of telling a fun story. I don't mind when my kids turn it on all the time. There seems to always be something new to see. I can't wait to see what comes next season.
