As a Star Wars fan since the 1980s, please sell me on why I should spend time watching this show. I have heard good things but haven’t got around to watching it yet. What makes this show among the best of Star Wars? If it is.
I’m not particularly a fan of the art style, but this show has the best iteration of it both in the graphics and designs.
The action is good and it feels like a very distilled iteration of many of the good things about The Clone Wars but to me it is fresher to follow along with the Bad Batch as opposed to Anakin and Obi-Wan.
It’s certainly not the best, but if you enjoyed the clone wars and the characters of the clones, it’s worth watching to see their story continued into the era of the Empire
this is the correct answer, you liked Clone Wars/Rebels, this is more of that on a more serious tone. You haven’'t watched CW/R? Probably you dont care about this
It shows the transition from Republic troops to Empire troops in real time as Palestine seizes control, and the animation is incredible. Probably the best looking animated Star Wars show so far.
You meant if the 3D GCI where only the voice and movements of the people are used is cheaper than the 3D CGI where the people’s appearance is used too?
I have no idea, but the difference can’t be very big.
3D animation is definitely a lot easier/cheaper than 2D, and probably a lot cheaper than live action. Making a good looking 3D character is harder than drawing a frame in a cartoon, but once you have it, animation is much easier, since you don’t have to make a new model for each frame. I assume it’s also easier to make effects for 3D than live action, since they’re stylized and don’t have to look lifelike, which is the goal of most CGI in live action media
Mandalorian was about $15 million per episode in season 1.
Clone Wars was about $1 million per episode.
Certainly cheaper to make cartoons than live action, but not exactly shoestring.
It’s difficult for me to find a good price analog to a 2D cartoon made recently that has a similar amount of action, and doesn’t have the budget weirdly skewed by licensing.
I would guess that to make a traditional animation as detailed, full of motion even in backgrounds, and full of constant action scenes it would probably be more expensive and time consuming compared to 3D.
