Thought this would be the right thread to discuss this because making my own thread doesn't feel right -
Think the vast majority of us would agree that Disney has completely dropped the ball with their ownership of Star Wars... with the live-action projects. The only exceptions to this have been the first two seasons of The Mandolorian, but of course they fucked up the third.
But... and I struggle to actually give them credit on anything, but this worth giving a compliment...
They've progressively improved their animation to be very cinematic, and quite real... very worthy to be released in theaters at this point.
If you're watching this on your phone, it doesn't do it justice.
I remember the 'Clone Wars' movie from 2008 and it basically was the first planned episodes of the Cartoon Network series edited together as an arc, and it was LucasFilm's first attempt at animation. It was flawed, but over the last 16 years its been progressively improved to be as good as I've of any 3D animation within the theaters.
So, my point being... if you haven't seen the last 4 episodes of Clone Wars Season 7, watch them.
If you haven't seen Tales of the Jedi, watch it.
If you haven't seen Tales of the Empire, watch it.
Because as far as animation goes, especially with Dave Filoni now in a position of power within LucasFilm and it seems Kathleen Kennedy has a hand-off approach with animated projects, the future of Star Wars is within its animated projects.
