1.5/5
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
A young band must perform the show of their lives otherwise Jabba The Hutt will have one of their member killed.
This may be the worst episode of Star Wars Visions, though as of the time of writing I am only three quarters of the way through. This episode is just so disappointing mainly because it doesn’t feel like it fits into the Star Wars universe at all, swap out a few character skins and references and this could be any other anime. It felt jarring.
All of the characters bar Jabba were kids, and I don’t understand the reason why? For the central foursome it makes sense I suppose but why was Bobba Fett pintsized? It makes no sense.
Moreover, the whole episode is built around these big concert scenes where the band perform, this in an off itself is not a red flag, however, when the band actually starts to perform it quickly does become an issue. To be blunt the music just isn’t good, and as it is so pivotal to the episode having it be bad makes the episode infinitely worse.
Finally, the central cast of characters are annoying and whiney which makes it impossible to form any kind of attachment to them and again kneecaps the episode.
Overall, one to skip when binging the series.
Pros.
It is short
A few interesting visuals
Cons.
The songs are bad
The characters are annoying
It makes no sense that almost everyone is a child
It doesn’t feel like it fits the brand
