Young Jedi Adventures

Just wanted to provide a counter to some of the outrageously dim reviews on here.

Firstly, this show is simple fun that manages to capture some of the magic, adventure and sense of infinite possibility that Star Wars is always about.

That being out of the way - some of the comments written by adults on here are painful to read. The sort who want to watch everything Star Wars but are critical of it all by default. Don't get me wrong - I myself don't rate 3 or 4 of Disney's newer Star Wars shows and films, but that doesn't blind me to the fact this specific show is clearly not designed for me, and that in itself doesn't justify a low rating.

Coming here to criticise a show for 5 year olds for being "illogical"...? The only excuse for an adult to write such tripe is severe learning disabilities. Sparing that, perhaps reconsider your entire personality.

Just because of Master Yoda, who appears in his younger years, one should watch this series.

The title and storytelling are naturally tailored so that the youngest can easily follow the action, animated in great, vibrant colors. Particularly appealing is that each plot contains a meaningful and valuable message in Jedi style at the end. The action is not lacking either, all well-balanced and as non-violent as possible, of course.

The animated series fits into the official Star Wars canon and takes place during the High Republic era. So it's also suitable for Star Wars moms and dads. Absolutely worth watching.

I have an almost 4 year old son, this is the perfect sort of content to enable us to enjoy the Star Wars universe together. The themes are light-hearted and appropriate for this age range. If you've watched "Spidey and his Amazing Friends", this show will feel *very* familiar. It's low stakes, easy watching fun for kids.

As my son gets older, I can introduce him to the more mature SW content, but for now, this is ideal, with most of the themes focussing on things children around that age stand to benefit from - teamwork, sharing and inclusivity.

Some negatives from me - I would have liked to have seen more cameos from iconic SW universe characters aside from Yoda. The main villain also seems a little lame in the context of SW - for comparison, Spidey gets to battle against iconic villains such as Doc Ock, Sandman, Green Goblin and Rhino, our Jedi friends battle against a pirate kid.

As a final note, because apparently needs to be explicitly mentioned - not all SW content has to be consumable by adults, or have some sort of adult theme running through it. It's perfectly acceptable to have multi-generational content to attract varying age ranges to the franchise. If you're an adult looking for fresh SW content, carry on looking, you're not the target audience.

The animation is nice. The plot does not make much sense. Some characters known from other Star Wars shows will pop up. Overall it's something that may be appreciated by kids. It's most likely not for adults. There's not much regular people can appreciate. Is it just pure money grab ? It can be, but it's difficult to judge as of now. I still need to type around 250 characters, so I'll add, that if you're going to watch these series, please don't have high expectations. It's heavily simple minded and the emphasis of the show is purely on animation and those nice big colorful eyes of characters, that are supposed to be liked by children.

This was a fun show to watch with my son, it is light and fun for kids. This is a great way to introduce kids into the SWU without all the violence or adult themes. Yet it teaches kids all the things you need to know about jedi, ships and the various worlds culture, food and people that will peak their interest.

The animation is good, very colorful and well geared towards kids. The attention to detail like fur, vegetation and dirt/ rust on ships is well done. The voice actors do a good job portraying their characters in which you can buy into one.

Recommend for kids and parents wanting to share their love of Star Wars.
