So the Star Wars Visions episodes have dropped and I've watched all 9 of them over the last couple of days.
The one word I could use to describe this series is 'uneven'. I can basically break it down into 3 categories.
3 really good
3 meh
3 terrible

- The Duel: 5/5. Great episode, stylish, felt like it was a part of Star Wars. Umbrella sabre was a little silly but was only a small part. The rest of it had great atmosphere.
- Tatooine Rhapsody: 1/5. Really did not enjoy this. Despite Boba Fett and Jabba this did not feel like Star Wars. The plot was nonsensical, and the songs were bad.
- The Twins: 2/5. Blob of exposition at the start and then utterly nonsensical story. Well animated but absurd. No gravity or air, lightsabres whirling around and cutting ships in half. Not for me.
- The Village Bride: 3/5. This was...odd. Well animated but the fact there's some battle droids and a lightsabre are almost incidental to this. This was fine but a little confusing.
- The Ninth Jedi: 4/5. An interesting story with a good turn in it. Good visuals, interesting dynamics. Would be interesting to see it continue.
- T0-B1: 1/5. Not for me, very kid-like. Did not feel like Star Wars at all. Felt like a kids show to its detriment.
- The Elder: 4/5. This one got the Star Wars vibe best to my mind in the interaction between Jedi and Padawan. Nice battle between Jedi and Sith(?).
- Lop and Ochi: 3/5. This one is fine, but the plot is all over the place. The choice of Lop being a rabbit person is...weird. The pre-time skip bit is too quick to feel earned. The after period is fine but too quick. The story ends not so much on a cliffhanger but literally unfinished.
- Akakiri: 3/5. Another abbreviated story. Comic relief characters who mean nothing detract from the main story. Abrupt ending. Good central story, but not enough detail.
