| This was a lot more down to earth than the studio's last Star Wars episode. It felt almost like an episode plucked out of an already established episodic series. The episode had time to set a tone and characters, and gave us a cool fight as well. It could have been better, but it made good use of its time to let us get settled in. |
 |
| Damn, was that really Trigger? Very different from their usual work. Something about the character art seems off somehow. Anyway, that was one hell of a lightsaber duel. Using lightsabers in a way that actually takes advantage of their unique characteristics, you dont see that every day. |
| average animation not bad but not great either from Trigger guess all their talented animators work on episode 3 instead but this Elder is a new generation of Sith for sure |
| This one was more about Lore which was great, but the animation looks like western anime-style. But was better than 3. At least this one didn't dropped the ball like episode 3. |
 |
| Honestly, i liked the elder stuff. Animation was really different for a Trigger work. however, i loved the fight itself. It was slow and precise. The master was truly experienced and i liked how the sith cut the padawan but he was still alive. Also, music was so good when it was silenced when the master turned on the lightsaber to kill elder. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| All i can say about this one - weird. The dialogues, the sith sabers, also not a fan of animation. |
 |
| The fight really felt like an original trilogy lightsaber duel. |
| Similar to the first episode with the samurai-era backdrop. That alone made it pretty good for me. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
Horn_dawg_2019 said: So, I guess this was set before the Clone wars...It was very obvious since the Sith's were once thought to be extinct, but they weren't. Yeah its probably set somewhere around the High Republic era IMO. Well and truly before The Phantom Menace. But the padawan's robe looked really similar to designs used in High Republic stuff and I assume that's not an accident |
| Well we're back in star wars land for sure, but this one still doesn't quite look like an actual anime, more like something out of adult swim or something. Again, it's fine, but dammit I don't want fine, I want something great. Pretty forgettable, 2.5/10, two more episodes to go. Come on disney at least make one of these last two something good |

| It sure doesn't feel like something made by Trigger at all |
| The Elder by Trigger Much better by Trigger this time, decent animation, story, character design and action. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Pretty good episode. Another one from Trigger, and they did a great job. I really liked the character design of the elder. It was very creepy. And the message about power at the end was pretty cool too. |
| I have a feeling that this sets in the High Republic Era which sets YEARS before the Prequel Trilogy. I really love the short battles. The Jedi seem to have explored the galaxy and encountering this elder might be one of the clues that The Sith is coming back? I like it more than the same studio's The Twins. |
| Another one from Trigger it was really good and the Jedi taking away the lightsaber then destroying it was cool |
 |
| I'm intrigued about the plot. Would gladly watch more about the master Jedi. Personality-vise reminded me of Qui-Gon Jinn. Also, are we not going to talk about the ex-sith elder not killing the padawan? I don't think he missed with the blow and only wounded the padawan. He did that on purpose, though if you think about reasons, maybe he simply wanted a final duel with a worthy opponent? Otherwise why would he not kill the padawan? The master would've come for him regardless so I believe the ex-sith wasn't too bad. |

 |
| 2nd episode from Trigger. Storywise I'd say it's an improvement over episode 3. But animationwise I much prefer episode 3 over this. The dub voice acting was pretty bad. |
| This is the one episode so far that actually feels like classic Star Wars. It's crazy to see that Studio Trigger made this because it doesn't feel like a Trigger anime like their previous episode did. However, I liked that they changed their style because it fits the setting and story better than their tradition modus operandi. What really sets this episode apart from the others is that it is the first one to actually have a point. It showed three men different stages in their life to show the effects of time both positive and negative. |
| Their 1st one was better than this but it was still pretty good |
 |
| Better than the disastrous sixth episode but its still bad. I mean, how the padawan survived after that fatal wound? Why didn't the old man make sure he was really dead? Look, I don't give a fuck about the padawan in the first place but that was extremely stupid. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Serious Trigger, nani. Good episode but Hashi Takaya's voice was a bit too old for the master, should have had a few gray hair, maybe it would have worked better. Interesting episode nonetheless. I remember hoping so hard there would be something like the One Sith in the Rey trilogy, so good to see some alternate Sith here. |
 |
| It’s more “Gainax” than modern Trigger, it was solid. |
   |
| The Master and Padawan was very much like Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Another cool episode, has a lot of potential. I loved the swift battle. |
| Didn't expected this from Trigger especially after their last episode, still solid episode. I especially liked the way the jedi master just turned his saber off and on to kill the old man. |
 |
| I felt asleep midway. This is one of the reasons I haven't watched the main series. Characters just stare at each other without saying a word. So goddamn boring. The ugly art style didn't help either. It felt like I was watching an American cartoon. Awful. |
| This episode felt like it was written by a 6 year old. Master senses a disturbance in the force. Aprentice: is it a Sith? I'm ready to rock & roll. Master: "No they ceased to exists hundreds of years ago." If the Sith are already considered extinct, why would the aprentice jump to such ilogical conclusion? If someone breaks into my house, I'm not expecting it to be the tribunal from the Spanish Inquisition. If the aprentice comes out with the brilliant idea to climb up a mountain on an ecosystem he's completely ignorant, why would he take children as a guide, specially if there's a high chance of finding what they suspect is a Sith hidding his prescence. Like for real, what kind of parents would allow their kids to go on such dangerous endeavor. And how the heck did the aprentice survive the Sith's lightsaber slash? Not a single movie from the original trilogy nor the prequels have showed any evidence of anyone surviving a direct attack like that. |
| Nakamura Yuichi... and it's Trigger again. But it doesn't feel like Trigger at all. and how Dan survive that Old Man Lightsaber slash? lol Trigger takes this L. |
 |
| 7th episode: "The Elder" by Trigger Another episode by Trigger, it was very good. |
| A MUCH better Trigger episode, not my favorite, but it feel like I was watching a good Clone Wars episode. The Twin felt like a fanfic written by someone who never watched Star Wars but instead just read some Wiki entries. |
| Brilliant episode. You could feel Star Wars atmosphere coming from it. I loved the choreography used during lightsaber duels. |
| One of the best ones too, I guess to be expected from trigger, glad some of these are actually worthwhile |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| low key badassery, old school samurai film type stuff |
