Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

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.

The_Depressed_Star_Wars_fan Star Wars was one of the biggest parts of my childhood. I know all the live action theatrical movies by heart. While not all of them are amazing masterpieces, they are still landmarks in pop culture, but like any successful franchise some sort of animated spin-off had to be made. For Star Wars, several were made, but the one that stands out in my mind the most prominently is DROIDS. The story line to Droids is that C-3PO and R2-D2 go from master to master, finding themselves going on many adventures. Already the story line sounds boring, as well as was. The characters are flat and uninteresting as all Hell. Aside from our two main characters, every character was just a blatant rip-off of a characters from something else. Yes I know even the Excellent Star Wars movies took a lot of influence from other films, but they at least made enough tweaks that the characters and scenes were memorable. They weren't even trying with the characters in this show. The comedy fell flat and would leave you cringing and wishing to turn the TV off. The animation in this show was atrocious, often times the animators would recycle stock footage even if the footage being recycled had a background that didn't match the scene it's supposed to be part of. All in all, this show's not worth your time.

hhhhhhddd Droids is now one of my favorite cartoons. I am a huge Star Wars fan and I just loved this Cartoon. Droids tells the story of C3PO and R2D2 years before they joined the Rebel Alliance and teamed up with Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It seems there lives were just as dangerous. They encounter numorus masters and encounter Space pirates Bounty hunters The Empire and a close Encounter with Boba Fett. This Cartoon is very funny and much better than the Ewoks T.V. seires.

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).
