Star Wars: Tales of the Empire

Good movie!

I thoroughly enjoyed this show, for the very most part. Side characters are explored, enriching the SW universe. The story is well told. It is well done. It is well paced. The scope is neither small nor big, but focused. The techniques are good, camera and lighting and art direction and score and all the other machinations of cinematic story telling that an audience usually will not notice. It made me feel stuff. I felt the anger, frustration, and fear. Tales Of The Empire works. And then there is episode 5: A gender politic (singular?) out of the blue. It yanked me right out of A Galaxy Far, Far Away and into the undesireable present. And I already feel the pressure, the need to explain myself: So, two years ago I met a person - first for me - who wanted to be addressed as they/them, and I was surprised: It didn't bother me at all. For one: Name and identity - behaviours, habitus - is anybody's choice: If I want to be addressed as "cactus", I have the right to want that. And very actual: I quite instantly realized that above mentioned person was plagued hard with psychological problems, and I thought, boy, if this is your way out, or at least some kind of help, I would be a terrible, terrible person to make it a problem. (I also think that a portion of people struggling with their social-biological identity, thanks to the media, fall for the "gender maelstrom" as a remedy (also thanks to the media), and I think that this sets them on a distracting course, and a caring therapist would be galaxies better...) What a digress. What I do not appreciate: Disney is very consciously sabotaging my escapism. Star Wars, to me, is holy. It is a fairy tale. I don't want trade disputes in it. I don't want racial stereotypes (Ep. I, anyone?). I don't want Tatooine engineers talking about the hairyness of Jawas. I don't want conservationists joining the Rebel Alliance because the Empire uses plastics in their armor. I want to be swept away and I do not want to be hit in the face with what is trending. I also think that this is exactly what is fueling the burning divide, and that it is a huge disservice to the people struggling with these issues. Closing thought: Me, I am a fat dude - where is my representation, where is the one fat side character Jedi? Kidding. I don't want fat Jedis. Please.

The show stared off strong ( as many do ) and lost the thread early. These nonsensical actions make it impossible to buy into the characterization. I'm bad but now I'm good. This is just another wasted opportunity from a decimated Lucasfilm that shows they have no idea how to tell a good story. I really didn't expect much and I wasn't disappointed. The animation was rough and seemed to rushed. And I no longer believe Lucasfilm has the ability to make me care about any characters in the Star Wars universe anymore. I think the bigger problem is the demographic this is aim to is not the main Star Wars demographic. They even have one anymore. Things don't make sense. Affect does not seem to follow cause and light sabers just give you a boo-boo. It's so predictable and tiring. I think what's most telling you is that none of my kids even wanted to watch it at this point and they used to love Star Wars.

This is probably the worst star wars unti now. Star wars is really dead and Filoni is not capable to handle star wars. Star wars is really dead and i didnt want to believe in that but this show proves it. First 3 episodes were ok but i just do not understand why they focused so much on Morgan, this is tales of the empire or is it morgan's tales? The rest of the episodes were so bad that star wars holliday special looks like a masterpiece compared to this disaster. The story is poor and pathetic. Beside all this they had to include "the message" and the dialogue was confusing as hell. I have to accept reality, the older fans are disney target, they want new fans. Funny thing about that, those fans they want so much, they do not consume this type of shows. Good luck lucasfilm, it was a good ride.
