I guess, between an episode of rebels and the other…
JYN AND SABINE? I don’t care about the animation, but that’s the ultimate crossover I wanted to see.
I I’m excited to See Padme ,As well Finn & Han but I echoes Kylo Kens thoughts I wanna see Mon Mothma,Doctor Aphra and Hopefully Rose Tico (whom I’m already excited to see in The Last Jedi next to Luke as welll Finn)
I watched a few of the first wave of shorts and was pretty disappointed. Therefore, I see no reason to look forward to this.
I enjoyed the first 8 for what they were. Here’s to hoping these step it up a little bit.
When i heard that I new star wars trailer had dropped, this was not the droid I was looking for. This is fine for what it is. I’ll watch it only because its so short that I can watch all of them for free in less than the time of 1 episode of other shows
Episode with Padme and Ahsoka was the best.
Ugh.
Holy shit Han Solo sounds like the 90 year old crack addict that lives off the corner of my street
on par with old ewok show…meh
The old Ewok show, as bad as it was, had the advantage of being hand-drawn at least. This is just lazy Flash garbage.
Oh good, more Forces of Flash Animation that Looks Like Ass. Such exciting places Lucasfilm is taking us these days.
GIMME GIMME GIMME
So YOU’RE the one!
Hey, @Riekkan – any way you guys can bug the folks in LFL for a FoD short featuring Depa Billaba & her young Padawan Kanan? BTW: I know the adults in the room are slagging these simple animated shorts…. PERSPECTIVE: My 5 + 8 y/o daughters love ’em. And now you know – and knowing is: http://news.hisstank.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2017/03/knowing-is-half-the-battle.jpg
