Rating: - 1st Star Wars related thing I didn't realy care for.
This was really bad. I had to force myself to finish the first "feature film." I now realize why this only lasted a short time. There was really no point. Compared to the Clone Wars this was bantha poodoo.

Rating: - Great Series, Poor Packaging
With shows like Clone Wars now entertaining young audiences, one has to wonder if they should bother showing thier children anything that belongs in the original trilogy universe in terms of spin-offs, there was never a "definitive" animated series featuring Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Han Solo, etc, however, this show featured the two Droids.

"Droids" is NOT set AFTER the original trilogy, it's set BEFORE it, a series of five episode arcs featured R2-D2 and 3-PO having different adventures with a different matser with each new arc, it was something that was rare in shows of that decade, and it kep the premise fresh...the premise of the two droids going through various comedy acts, whilst ...

Rating: - A major disappointment
When I was younger I actually remembered watching this show on TV. I was big into star wars at the time and even though the music was sort of cheesy, I loved it. Naturally I purchased it the moment I saw it in stores only to be hugely disappointed. They had completely redone the music including that great TV opening theme that I loved. I then immediately grumbled at the $10 I wasted on it and then gave it to my friend's kid.

As for the animation, it was targeted for kids so do keep this in mind as you view it. As adults you will find the animation to be simplistic, but your kids if they are into Star Wars will love it. As for me a fan of the original, it was a huge letdown.

Rating: - Not quite Clone Wars
Well actually I'm a fan of Star Wars, but I needed more than the original 3 or the new episodes. I guess it's kinda like Macross where I've been sitting awaiting for more continuity on the original series.

Star Wars is great because Lucas decided to also enter the animation market. I did buy this Droids DVD hoping to find interest in the continuity of the series. I like the fact that this series follows the pattern of the original movies. The characters are full. ID88 is in the first episode. As well as some of the non-essential characters. Even the restaurant owner from episode II is in this series. (The monster who looked at the darts and had four arms).

The other ... Read More

Rating: - The second animated series from the greatest film saga ever!
:-)

I have read the reviews on line here at Amazon.com about the release of these first two "Droids" cartoon episodes, "The Pirates and the Prince" & "Treasures of the Hidden Planet" some I agree with, others I don't. I remember seeing this animated series during its original television run in 1986 through 1987 as I went from a 11-year-old boy to a 12-year-old pre-adolescent and I loved these cartoons growing up and I still do. I only wish that Lucas had released all of them instead of just two of them. These "Droids" cartoons take place between "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" & "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" as we watch the developing friendship between C-3PO ... Read More
