Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures TV Series Review

 


Star Wars fans the franchise has always produced content that's for teens and has never done anything that's aimed at pre-schooler's. Well that all ended as on May 4th Disney and Lucasfilm released all seven episodes of a brand new animated show that's aimed at pre-schooler's and so then join me as I review the show that dares to aim for an audience that Star Wars hasn't really made anything for or even tried to make anything for with the TV show in question being called simply just "Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures" enjoy.

The plot of this show is three younglings start training to be Jedi nights at a new temple and embark on many adventures. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show 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 show was in all honesty not that bad with this shows plot being as sweet and inoffensive as you'd want from a show that's being aimed at pre-schooler's in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this show is Jamaal Avery Jr. as Kai Brightstar and Dee Bradley Baker as Nubs , Adult Pirate and an Alien Patron. Also starring in this show is Eric Bauza as EB-3 , Emma Berman as Nash Durango , Juliet Donenfeld as Lys Solay , Sarah Kramer as Pord and A Patron , Taran Killam as Hap , Jonathan Lipow as RJ-83 , Dee and Kumpa , Trey Murphy as Taborr Val Dorn , Piotr Michael as Yoda and Nasim Pedrad as Zia Zanna.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show 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 show was in all honesty not that bad. With this show mostly using child voice actors to voice alot of it's main cast and it's kid cast do do a passable job i this show and by that I mean none of them are annoying but the cast aren't really given all that much to work with interms of what their respective characters personalities are.



Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at ICON Creative Studio. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually / featured / presented to us in this very show 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 show was in all honesty really good. However the character designs are all of with alot of the characters having these really big heads which just look really weird and are very of putting as well. 


This is our first piece of Star Wars media to be set in the The High Republic era which I really didn't mind. As it's an era that hasn't been explored in either TV shows , video games or movies and so to have an entire show set within this era to me makes sense as it means that we could see alot more of what the Star Wars universe was like at that point in it's time line as apposed to seeing it in the more familiar timelines which don't get me wrong I love those timelines but it's always nice to see something new and to see a new part of Star Wars history being told to us from an era of which we know really very little about.

Incase your wondering why this is a review and not a first impressions well it's because of the fact that Disney and Lucasfilm have released the shows first seven episodes on Disney+. Which to me makes no sense as you could have gotten more kids to watch the show if you released the episodes weekly like they are doing with the shows Disney Junior release which to me makes alot more sense as the shows kid auidence can now have a better chance of connecting with this cast of characters and that means that you can sell more toys which means that you make more money from the show.


This show is as inoffensive as it gets which is to be expected from a show who's main target audience is pre-schooler's. However with that being said I feel that this show could have been so much better just because this show fails at the most basic things with their being very little to no conflict in most of the shows episodes and the characters have next to no personality which is bad enough for a show that's aimed at a much older audience but it's worse when it's in a show that's aimed at pre-schooler's because it just shows that the makers of this show are lazy and that's it.

Now then this show has seven episodes all of which are no longer then twenty four minuets and nine seconds. With sadly each episode being split up into two eleven minute segments which is fine for some episodes but the first episode really could have just been one episode as it had alot of things to set up and heck given the plot of that episode you very easily could have released that episode as a forty to forty five minute special episode and while alot of the episodes do have some good pacing sadly alot more of them don't have good pacing with the episodes just rushing from plot point to plot point because of the fact that the next segment is about to start up any minute now.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show 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 show was in all honesty not that bad. Which for a pre-schooler's show was something that I expected to be the case just because those type pf shows very rarely if ever have great or memorable action in them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this isn't a bad show for very little kids as there's nothing in this show that will harm in any kind of way and it's a great show to show very little kids that are interested in watching Star Wars as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that means that this very show earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 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 , the official Disney 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 the official Star Wars fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
