Hmmm. Tatooine Rhapsody was also very good. I want a slice of life series all about this band. It’s good that it seems not all of these will be action oriented. I like the three headed demon guy he looks funny. Also the chibi designs of boba fett and jabba were cute too.

This wasn't as entertaining as the first episode. This episode relied a lot more on fanservice, showing us characters that we would recognize, and didn't care much about the story or style. There was no reason to care about the band and it just comes off as a little silly. In the end, it just leaves us off with more questions about the origin of the boy.

Well, we got our obligatory "I've got a bad feeling about this" *and* the obligatory Wilhelm scream.

You know, when Disney first bought Star Wars, there was some joking that they'd make a musical out of it. I guess that finally kinda happened, in the least expected way imaginable.

Not as strong as episode 1, pretty forgettable. I liked the cameo of the Cantina band though.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

This is a perfect for those SW fans who appreciate when Jedi don't resort to violence. Instead this one did a Macross.

I think this is one of those goofy side stories that deserves to exist for the sole question of "why not?"
why not have an anime idol band in the star wars universe? This entire series exists to experiment and try new things. And this short was hardly unenjoyable.

Stuido Colorido nailed this one.

It was just a music episode with this so there wasn't too much to go off of. A nice rest episode from the fights.

There were some things I liked, and some things I didn't. First, I always like the concept of doing something that isn't Jedi related. The fact that this follows a band in the Star Wars universe makes it immediately interesting to me. The execution left a lot to be desired though.

The art style has me split a bit, when the episode first started I couldn't figure out why a kid sounded like a 40 year old man, then I realized this was going for a chibi art style. I can dig that, I couldn't help but smile seeing Boba in chibi form. I also really liked the design of the Hutt character in this, as well as the droid guitarist.

But the story just felt bleh, and was so oddly paced that I couldn't really get into it. It was cheesy and not very compelling. I'm definitely all for more obscure characters and storylines in Star Wars, but this wasn't great. This was easily the weakest episode.

I did like the fact we got to go back to Tatooine and see that stadium/arena where the pod racing was though!

I see a lot of people complaining but I’m gonna be honest I really enjoyed it. Not as much as episode one but still really good I think, it was just a really wholesome and relaxed episode about a band and it was so cool to see Boba Fett and Jabba again. Episode one is miles better but still a good episode

Super cartoony ESPECIALLY after the first episode. Maybe the little kids will enjoy this one but this one was kind of lame. A star wars rock band is a cool twist, and I can't believe we already got characters like Jabba and Boba Fett in this, on freaking tatooine, already. But yeah otherwise this one feels like a total throwaway that only the little kids on disney plus will enjoy. 2/10

Tatooine Rhapsody by Studio Colorido

Kinda mid story and animation style, after the great first episode this was a rapid decline.

I had the same impression while watching that episode and after completing it.

The music was okay, but if not some really characteristic Star Wars elements (i.e. Jedi) or characters (i.e. Boba Fett), it would be hard to really tell whether this episode was set in Star Wars universe, or was perhaps a random sci-fi anime.

I like fanservice, but I don't like (with some exceptions, like Dragon Ball Heroes) when a show is dominated by it, making fanservice elements dominating in the whole show.

The artstyle looked weird and was inconsistent. Many characters could look alright, but why Boba Fett's helmet had to look that huge, compared to the rest of his body...? If he could be stylized as chibi character, then why other characters didn't go through the same process, for the sake of artstyle consistency?

Oh well, after brilliant first episode, this one was not that much brilliant. I won't say it was lame, though. It had some good elements, like nice animation or proper usage of CGI.

This is what George Lucas would have wanted.
Always wanted to see silly stuff like this in Star Wars.
In Episode II we saw droids play American football on tv screen of the cantina where Ani and Obi-Wan were hunting that bounty hunter. Ever since than I was interested in quirky stuff like this from the world of Star Wars. What would be their takes on genres of music, their sports, their fiction and stuff like that. This was sweet.

I liked this episode. It's not as good as the first but it was pretty enjoyable. I didn't expect to see Boba Fett so that was kinda cool. It was more music oriented, so it didn't have as much action as I wanted to see. I'm still excited to check out the rest of this series.

this is fun relaxing episode, not every episode need to be Action Lightsaber fight.
Tatooine Rhapsody i like the name of the episode.
Studio Colorido did good.
kinda makes me want to check out what are the other Anime they did before.

oh my god Boba Fett, right after i just finished watching Episode II.

song was good as well, no complain from me.
Jabba and Boba enjoying music? i was not expecting that.

I've always wanted a series following the Max Rebo band, so this concept was pretty cool to see. Prolly one of my least favorite episodes though, but not bad by any means. The inclusions of Boba and Jabba were pretty neat.

The singer being a former Padawan didn't really feel like it added anything to the overall story of the episode, since the conflict was about rescuing his friend from Jabba. Episode gets a thumbs up for chibi Boba Fett though.

I honestly thought it was a youngling till halfway into the ep, when I realised he was a full grown Jedi knight who fell off his ass and was picked up by a rather young hutt. While the chibi art was a stark (and kinda unwelcome) departure from ep 1s artstyle, it grew on you, esp Chiba Fett.

The story was very predictable, you knew what was gonna happen as soon as they showed up for one last song.

My real gripe! That song needed to be out of this world. While I skip almost 99% of anime op/eds. This had to be that 1%! I'm talking departure from HXH or the 1st op from the 1st season of MHA. Hell even that lol op from Fairytail last season was better, this song was insipid and already forgotten.
