Young Jedi Adventures

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.

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.

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.

My son loves this show, and for good reasons. The colors, voice acting, animation and sound are all great for a younger audience and the stories and messages presented in each episode will really resonate with him and other kids whenever gets a little older. As adults, we should get rating this show based on how children will react to the show and enjoy it. Of course any good show has to be entertaining to their parents as well, and I can confidently say that there's a plethora of very annoying and mindless shows for children out there and this show isn't one of them. I obviously won't watch it by myself, but I'll have no problem turning it on for my kid.

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!
