LOVED The Elder. A very touching master-apprentice relationship between Dan and Tajin. I thought it was great that Dan’s insecurity about not being too strong in the Force is hinted at near the start (as he doesn’t sense the ‘disturbance’), the Elder teases him about it, and yet Tajin reassures him at the end that it’s part of the learning process and Dan will soon grow beyond him. Dan had a lot of respect for Tajin I think so that was a very nice scene. It reminded me of the ‘We are what they grow beyond’ quote from TLJ.
The Elder
Perfect Prequel-era story with a delightfully evil villain. 10/10
Unless this is what you meant by prequel era, I’d say it’s maybe more accurate to call it a High Republic era story or a couple hundred years before it. I think it would fit in quite nicely there.
I’ve already given some thoughts on The Village Bride so I’ll just touch on my top #1, The Ninth Jedi. I suppose I can’t say much other than I’d love a sequel, the director apparently would love a sequel, and loads of other fans would love a sequel too. I don’t know what form that would take - another short if we get a season 2 of Visions, perhaps, but if I was being very optimistic I’d say a full anime miniseries would work great. I just think the worldbuilding, the quality of storytelling, and the character work especially on Juro and Kara is outstanding and the best of the bunch. I liked how it incorporated elements of the main Star Wars timeline and combined them with newly imagined elements. I also really liked its ideas around how a person’s strength with, and relationship to, the Force has an effect on their lightsaber. In canon, I believe this idea has only really been touched on in Rebels and it’s a shame this isn’t a bigger feature in other Star Wars stories.
