Having seen most of the season thus far, the show once again has a host of unique stories while also expanding on ones from previous seasons. I will go over them briefly now. The season opens on "The Duel: Payback," following from one of the most acclaimed segments of the first season from Kamikaze Douga and Anima. I also heavily enjoyed "The Song of Four Wings" by Project Studio Q; which had some strong magical girl vibes to it. "The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope" from the esteemed Production IG hints at more to come; and I am eager to see it should the opportunity arise. "The Bounty Hunters" from Studio WIT was also an entertaining approach to one of the most interesting occupations in the saga outside the Jedi order. I'm certainly always game for some John Woo-inspired blaster duels against a corrupt industrialist.
The season concludes with "The Bird of Paradise" from Polygon Pictures; where a young Padawan must master the Force to overcome her vision impairment, and a more experimental short from David Productions simply titled "BLACK."
If I had to choose my favorite episodes of this season, they would be "The Smuggler" from Studio TRIGGER, closely followed by two from Kinema Citrus- "Yuko's Treasure" and "The Lost Ones" (one of the aforementioned stories that expands on the previous seasons).
I will have a couple more treats ready to go before the end of Halloween night. You will just have to wait and see what they are. That is all for now. May the Force be with you all.
