Featured review
We don't serve their kind here.
Episode 6 of Star Wars Visions sees a retelling of another classic Japanese science fiction story, that of Astroboy, filtered through the prism of Star Wars. Though it was a little too cute for my taste the story was eventually OK.
TO-B1 (Jaden Waldman) is a young droid imbued with a human like spirit by his father Mitaka (Kyle Chandler). Mitaka, and his droid family, are on a desert planet, with plans to terraform it into a lush paradise. Whilst searching for a Kyber Crystal to power his own lightsaber, To-B1 discovers Mitaka's ship and inadvertently broadcasts a signal, which is picked up by The Inquisitor (Neil Kaplan) a Sith lord hunting the remaining Jedi.
Again, the art style of this one was a little too cute for my taste. It reminded me a lot of "Megaman" and Mitaka as being like Doctor Light - though I'd assume that's because that series too drew inspiration from "Astroboy". It also took a little too long to get to the plot, for my taste, with too much time spent establishing that TO-B1 wants to be a Jedi, and dreams of fighting against the Empire. When it's established though, and The Inquisitor makes his way to the planet, there's a fun battle with some homages to wider Star Wars tropes.
It's not particularly awful but, unlike some of the other episodes in this run, I wouldn't be interested in seeing where the adventure goes from here.
