    There will be a special 4 hour finale that is nothing but a Jedi standing in a windy grass field with their robe blowing about.

    Pretty disappointing runtime for the whole series.

    Same here. I know some people expected 40 minute films, but I honestly thought some would be less than ten minutes.

    I like brief runtimes, zero complaints from me. Quality not quantity! Even What If has had all the episodes at least 30 minutes and I could take like a 15 minute episode. Although with that amount of running time I wonder if they'll drop them as a batch or weekly. Probably weekly.

    Perceived value-wise the short run times feel like a ripoff. Disney + has more than enough shorts in the Marvel and Star Wars sections.

    It's a novel experiment, neither side are going to invest in feature length productions.

    And What If...?'s quality of animation is also nowhere even close to the level of what we're seeing in any of these shorts. What If...?'s animation comparatively feels incredibly cheap, to be quite honest. Some of the biggest names in the industry are pouring their all into Visions to give us some distinct, uniquely styled, bite-sized entries into the Star Wars universe, and that is something I am all over.

    I just recently revisited The Animatrix, which is much more in the vein of what we're getting here, and that one has some really incredible stuff to it. Visions looks to have been made with that same level of care.

    So it will probably default to English dubbing right, even though the trailer was all subtitled. For animation I totally don't mind dubbing in English. Live action dubbing looks downright wrong and otherworldly and sound canned but I can let it fly in animation easily, probably because the animated mouth movements are never as intricate as watching an actual human speak. It's mostly just O-shaped opening closing the mouth.

    That's why I'm going to watch it subbed and dubbed.

    Use the subs to get the story, and then listen to the english track while taking in all the various background details you might've missed while reading along
