Johnny H. Star Wars has become a franchise mainstay in EVERY conceivable medium imaginable: film (obviously), television, video games, comics, books, prosthetic-limbs, VR-games, board games, household appliances, computers, toys, cars, references in Reagan's presidential addresses, EVERYTHING pretty much. You get the idea; Star Wars is now an all-encompassing franchise that's had MANY different iterations over the years. So how does this cartoon stack up against ALL THAT legacy the film created in its wake? It's okay. Nothing remarkable but nothing harmful either way. It's 80s multi-coloured animation that is good at what it is: material to be consumed by babies or toddlers and be an introductory point for young-ones to Star Wars as a story.

TLSO Right now there's a DVD out with a few of the stories edited into movies, but I wanted to see it in its original form. I had one video as a kid, and the rest of the series I've only seen through low-quality internet videos.It's interesting to see the direction the show took immediately after the original movies and before Episodes 1-3 were thought of. The character designs are fun, and even if they're sometimes cliché or annoying, they're bearable overall.The writing style is campy for sure, but the show's a great piece of nostalgia and I'd gladly shell out the money for a good-quality set of the original episodes.

Grand Admiral Murphy Okay,this is good,nothing great though.You can get mushed version of 4 episodes,which I saw,and it was great! This was when C3 and R2 were not in the hands of Skywalker,and were on weird adventures.There was a pirate who had his own (cheap looking) TIE fighters.A *** star movie.

uksludge I saw this series years ago (probably on the BBC) when I was a kid and though I remember the animation as very bland and the story's disconnection from the movies as disappointing I still watched it and presumably enjoyed it enough to waste my time doing so. Why? Well I can only presume it was the magic still associated with all things Star Wars even as the craze was becoming Transformers (now that's what I call(ed) a robot cartoon).
