Just watched the first two episodes, personally thought it was really fun.
The cast of characters seems interesting. Even the detective and his space coffee addiction.
Boy am I glad they decided to air two episodes at a time tho. Otherwise this would feel stretched, ngl.

The video quality is kind of crap despite watching rips directly from Disney. So far the whole show is pretty darkly lit so perhaps they just need to up the bitrate.

the police officer is more interesting to follow than darth maul, he is relatable and bangs hot alien chicks
this show will be just 10 episodes of maul fighting guys

the show should've been about the police officer with maul as a background threat he's investigating

It's because they have this distortion artsy filter, plus there seems to be film grain on top of it. This should be watched on Blu-ray, and not on 700MB Web-DL. There's just not enough bitrate to watch it without compression. But knowing Disney, this will never get a physical release.

Some live action, yes. Mandalorian, Andor, Ahsoka, Kenobi. But with the exception of Rebels, which was before Disney+, none of the animation made under Disney has gotten a physical release. TCW S7, Bad Batch, Tales series. It's all in the Disney+ jail forever, with shitty bitrate and lossy audio.

Like fuck, this is really bad. There is just not enough bitrate. Disney+ actively hurts this show.

This I noticed. It seemed like someone sneaked HDR footage in there and forgot to tone map it. It was in that one particular scene. Maybe it was artistic intention or a genuine error. Lasers themselves aren't dimmed. Just the overall lighting was weird in that scene.

They didn't use him in Bad Batch (Which funnily enough was the first SW show ever to use the Emperor but not Vader).
For obvious reasons he wasn't in The Mandalorian or Acolyte either.
With this series it is pretty obvious he'd show up (although Idk why he would do so already in Season 1)
Chasing down Jedi is literally his modus operandi.

animated star wars has been consistently good for a while now (exception being tales of the empire), issue with this show is that because it's about a fan favourite (darth maul) it's going to have bias towards it

>>153110728
Well, no. Requiem was literally underlit and then on top of that they darkened it in post. You can clearly see things in this. It's moody and noir. The problem is that coupled with darker lighting, the distortion, jagged edges filter and film grain, it creates noticeable video artifacts, because Disney+ are a bunch of cheap jews. The second episode in only 700MB, downloaded directly from D+. It should 2x or 3x of that size to watch it the way it was intended. I am watching in 1080p, maybe it's better on the 4K file, but it comes with HDR, I don't want to fuck up colors with tone mapping.

I wouldn't be surprised if Maul actually wins the first duel against Vader here, the series has already been renewed for a second season and I don't think it will be about Maul being too traumatized to expand his gang.

Finally, a jailbait alien girl getting roped and forcefully abducted. We haven't had that in over a decade!
>>
Just finished the first episode. Lmao, they weren't kidding when they said they were going to try to appeal to boys more; if I wasn't as jaded and didn't have higher expectations for storytelling, it might have worked. Old lizard guy is retarded. Also does every high ranking criminal position just automatically come with a girl sidekick now? Is there a damn guild of them?

>>153111172
This is the future Filoni chose, remember he'll be in charge of SW now. Jailbait alien girls will be shoved down your throat until morale improves.
>>
>>153109810
A common problem with Filoniverse media: the barrier of entry is really high unless you caught all episodes of The Clone Wars on TV more than a decade ago.
>>
>>153110962
Apparently he's voiced by the billionaire hipster dude in Silicon Valley, the one who also voiced Mickey Mouse.
>>
>>153111239
The premise of this series is cool (a criminal empire led by a Sith Lord being the first major threat the Empire had to face in its first decade before the Rebel Alliance) but it's really held back and limited by the fact that there are already various spinoff stories set around the same era that also tells (and concludes) Maul's story. Felt the same way about Andor, which was dampened by Rogue One being its series finale.

>>153111239
Nigga, Maul was in like 10 episodes of Clone Wars. And this show explains everything anyway.

And there goes the second episode. You can really feel Filoni's love for pouty teenage xeno girls in the last moments where the music tries to give her triumphant escape more fanfare than it actually deserves. Apparently Maul wasn't kidding and she genuinely could've gotten out of the big cylinder if she just tried harder.

>>153111367
I look at it from the other way. Bringing Maul back after being cut in half and falling out of sight was retarded, but his ending in Rebels (even if it WAS Rebels) was fine enough for me as the wages of a life lived for revenge.

It's just that this series, as a concept, was doomed before it started because I know how this guy's story ends and how futile all of this is.

>>153111395
Also I can't believe I'm saying this, but his attempts to manipulate Ezra look masterful compared to his gaslighting tactics here.

>"I just want to help you, Jedi friend ;^)"
>"You're Darth fucking Maul"
>"Oh well, morality is relative and we're actually on the same side. What do you want, really?"
>"To leave"
>"Um...leave?"
>"You won't let me"
>"I'm sorry you feel that way"

And then he just walks off to sulk. He literally just jumped on the first Jedi he found too to become his SIDEOUS KILLER, fucking retard really thinks he can train her for SHIT after he watched his brother die to Sideous in front of his eyes. That was PEAK Maul and Sideous was just toying with him.

>>
>>153111473
the thing with maul is that he can't let go, sidious still controls his life because all he does is to get revenge on sidious
his entire crime syndicate? because he wants to get revenge on sidious
rebuilding his crime syndicate? still because he wanta to get revenge on sidious

he could easily build a criminal empire to rule his little slice of the galaxy and just peace out, but he thinks that he's totally gonna beat sidious this time again and again, and it blows up in his face

it's like with ventress, she sought out revenge on dooku and it blew up in her face, so she didn't try it again (until the jedi asked her to do it, where it blew up in her face yet again and she sacrificed herself to right her mistakes), and unlike maul she actually has a purpose and does her own thing
>>
>>153111621
Divorced browbeaten cop is common archetype in noir settings like this one, like I thought the implication was that the detective had an affair with the informant and that's why he's seperated from his wife.

Sounds like his wife was a bitch. He seems like a good dude and an nice dad. Just a lot of work.

>>153111621
I get you need to be mad about the culture war, but divorce being more popular in SW makes sense since a big factor of keeping marriages together is religion, which is strongly decentralized in SW.

That's true. Andor was IMO one of the very few good things Disney's SW did, mainly due to the fact that it felt very different from both modern SW AND the usual Disney stuff.

>>153111095
Yeah... there are some boards that are quite active still, but unfortunately /co/ took a big hit.
>>
>>153111639
I completely get that. I just find the show bafflingly pointless because like...his death in Rebels just completely drove in the point that anything that happens here is completely meaningless and will have no impact on anything that matters.

We're literally just sitting here waiting for the next humiliation ritual to strike him so he ends up as the shiftless bum that starts following Ezra around and desperately trying to nudge him to the Dark Side. And all we're really learning is that Maul really is an idiot who has no fucking clue how to do anything to Sideous.
>>
>>153111708
I don't like Andor as much as some, but I can at least respect what it was going for. Hard to explain but I feel like there's something forced about the first arc of the season and how contrived it felt seeing the guy captured and thrown into prison just so more plot could happen

I mean, hallways are iconic Star Wars imagery. Literally the first scene in New Hope is Rebels vs Stormtroopers in a hallway. The design is everywhere throughout the galaxy. If you watched Clone Wars, half the battles took place in corridors. It makes sense since it limits mobility in universe and limits the needed animation irl. Animating huge open air battles is an investment, not to mention small spaces add to the underworld theme.

>The cop fucking works for the Empire.
He doesn't. The planet is de-facto independent. Like in Andor. Corporate sector is within the Empire, but the planet operates independently, and they largely want to keep it that way. It's quite a similar setup, really. When Syril and the corpo security tried to solve their case on their own and did not want the Empire to come in.
>We already had 2 episodes.
Yeah, but the Empire hasn't come in yet. We will see how worse it gets when they do. And you will be proven wrong. Because you just want to complain.

Maul's interaction with the kid is the only interesting aspect of the show so far, the rest is your usual Maul fare with him murdering people just to achieve nothing in the end. At least the kid is a brand new character which you can turn into female Maul (Ventress) and do something interesting with across different Star Wars eras

The police officer would be better if he was more hard-boiled

So far it looks painfully predictable

That's my take. The animation itself looks nice (not sure why people are bitching about it, the painted look is kino). But the story is basically a bunch of cliched tropes strung together. Even the way they reveal Maul (red saber ignites in dark hallway, cue massacre) is the most cliche villain aurafarming in this franchise at this point. Idk what Maul's personality is supposed be (never made it that far in TCW) but he seems basically like red Thrawn, down to always having hands behind his back and his voice sounding similar. Twilek is just dark Ahsoka, detective is pure cop show trope so far etc.

I guess they know this fandom just wants to see the same cliches recycled so why bother doing anything new.

What the fuck is this screenshot, Jesus fuck. Show is one year after Clone Wars. It's linked to Lucas draft insofar as it has Darth Maul training someone resembling young Talon and ruling Criminal Underworld. Obviously, Lucas' drafts were the actual sequels after Return of the Jedi, Maul was old and was supposed to be taking over after the Empire collapsed, and Talon was already his adult half-naked enforcer. This obviously can't happen in the Disney timeline, so they placed it after Clone Wars. Quite similar actually to that cancelled Darth Maul videogame that was also set after Clone Wars.
>>
>>153111782
I thought the irony was pretty rich here too, but he does sort of know what he's talking about. He might still be a slave to the dark side, but he was also raised to be blindly obedient to Sidious and he clearly got over that.

That's interesting. The Solo movie took place during 10 BBY and by that point Maul is in charge of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate.
Rebels (after 5 BBY) he's in exile.
So this season should go reasonably well for him, all things considered.

Curious what the budget here was, don't think we ever got concrete numbers for Bad Batch (for reference to the most expensive per episode animated series which'd be Arcane that was 10-15M per episode)

I imagine the fact that Lucasfilm Animation has a massive vault of models to use for background stuff and years under their belt with this style helps to some extent but I imagine it's gotta be at least a few mill per ep right?

I watched a 480p rip of The Land Before Time II: the Great Valley Adventure last night and it still looked amazing despite being a low budget direct to VHS sequel from 1994. I'm not going to abide the assertion that a modern, state of the art studio would only look average if they released it on a specific physical media format and then you watched it on a specific TV model with the right settings. It should just look good as a standard regardless of what you watch it on, and yes that is payment because that's how everything worked until approximately 10 years ago.
