Star Wars Visions: The Twins Review

 


Star Wars fans we are now just a few very short days away from Lucasfilm debuting the latest of season of the show that really did take alot of people by surprise. It's just a shame that the second season of this show isn't going to be anime focused but this gave me the chance to revisit one of the episodes from the shows first season and so then join me as I review the episode that doesn't have that many characters in it with the episode in question being called simply just "The Twins" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when he discovers that his sister will die soon sith Karre sets out on a mission to stop his fellow sith sister from being killed. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being really very engaging and as well as being really quite very entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is How I Met Your Mother , Starship Troopers , The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent , The Matrix Resurrections and Doogie Howser, M.D. star Neil Patrick Harris as Karre and Scream 4 , The Lego Movie , The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part , Community and GLOW star Alison Brie as Am. Also starring in this episode is Jonathan Lipow as B-2ON , T-Imperial Crew and T-Stormtroopers and Marc Thompson as T-Stormtrooper.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. I sat this because while the acting that we got in this episode was very serviceable I also felt that this episodes cast were very miscast with Neil Patrick Harris being a prime example of this as even tho he's a great actor he's just not right for this kind of action hero type of role and the same thing goes for Alison Brie as well.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio Trigger. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as it was really good but at the same time it felt like Trigger was really holding back on what they can do.


For me the highlight of this episode was seeing the relationship between Karre and AM which to me was really interesting. As in all of Star Wars media I don;t think that we've seen twins that are born as Sith before now and so seeing there relationship play out knowing that the sister is basically pure evil was really fascinating and it's just a shame that the episode really doesn't take the time to delve into their relationship as you could have gotten some very interesting between the two characters which would have added to the episodes overall quality.

This episode as with maybe "The Duel" is a short film that I would have liked to have seen turned into a full anime series. Just because there's so much potential their with the story to give us something that we haven't seen done in Star Wars before now and given just how this episode ends it very much felt like that they could do more adventures with these characters and the fact that Disney and Lucasfilm really haven't done anything with these characters yet they give The Duel both a novel and a comic book just doesn't make sense to me as this is the story that has alot more potential to be a great anime series.


What I really didn't like about this episode is the fact that none of the lead characters felt that fully formed. As we don't get to really find out anything about either main character which is kind of understandable as this is an anthology series but at the same time this is the only chance that we're getting to see these characters and yet they come across as boring one dimensional characters which does make it hard to route for them which is a shame because these characters have the potential to be some really good characters.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly sixteen minuets and fifty seconds. Which was a bit on the short side for me just because I felt that you very easily could have stretched this story out to thirty minuets which by doing so would then allow the makers of this episode to fully develop it's characters alot more and would also the makers of this episode to fully flesh out it's story as well but I will however that while this episode does have bad pacing in some parts it does have some decent pacing in other parts of this episode.


So now then since this is an action show that means that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As this episode really does give us a unique setting for an action sequence that being the out of a Star Destroyer which was something that I really did like even tho it really had me wondering how in the heck these two characters are actually breathing in outer space but it was still a really cool setting tho for an action scene in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really good episode that got me excited for season 2 of this show even if it because I get to see some new Aardman Animations and Cartoon Saloon work and this still a really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
