Gorgeous Animation: introduces the High Republic era in television format
19 May 2023
Like most of the top reviewers have said, the show is squarely aimed at children. We're talking under 10. So if you have a child who's a preteen then most likely would not e joy watching this. I am by no means anywhere near a preteen or under the age of 10. I enjoyed this show very much as a huge Star Wars fan. For me I was actually anticipating this show when it was first announced.

Young Jedi Adventures takes place in the Star Wars era known as the High Republic. This was an era recently introduced in Disney's canon and essentially takes place after the Old Republic and about 250 years or so before the Battle of Yavin (so basically before the first Death Star was destroyed).

The High Republic era was first introduced in graphic novel/ and novel format with the book LIGHT OF THE JEDI. Essentially, this era is where the Jedi were at their peak, with a heavy emphasis of spreading their influence throughout the galaxy.

So, no Skywalkers or any familiar characters will appear here outside of long lived characters like Yoda, who does make several cameo appearances.

Outside of the premise of the show being aimed toward children, the animation is very eye catching and the voice acting isn't bad at all. The show is formatted as an "adventure of the week" sort of deal with some inklings of an overall story arc taking shape. For the most part, the first season is essentially just showing the characters engaging in their...everyday Jedi adventures much to what the titles says!

So yeah, kick back, don't set your expectations high and enjoy the show!
