The visual aesthetic in this short is just great. The Spanish vibe painted into it was great along with the main character. Could not have been a better first episode to start the season. I definitely give props to El Guiri Studios (the animation team) from Spain for delivering on creating a Star Wars short embedded with their country of origin. Also love the talented cast that they hired from their country of origin. I thought the main character was fascinating and her sense of mystery is what keeps you engaged with the short. The visual aesthetic during the battle was the best part of the short in my opinion and one of the highlights of the season. Minor complaint that I noticed and I cannot be the only one who did, I noticed that before the battle when the the Sith Master is getting to the main character, there is a close up of him literally walking right in the middle of the open area outside of where they fight, and when the shot changes to the main character who is escaping from him, he is no longer behind her and when the shot changes to him he appears again in the middle. Again, a minor detail that I would have liked added since the shot could have been great of her escaping and him walking behind her in the open area almost like a shot from a Western film from the 70's or the iconic Lawrence of the Arabia shot. Still a fun short that does not disappoint as a first episode. I give this a 7.5/10 and will round it up to an 8 for delivering exactly what a first episode should be: an episode that hooks you for the season, an entertaining episode, and a well told, unique Star wars story.
