    10 outta 10 cuz the ending song is so good. Credits listed it as "Galactic Dreamer" (assuming it's not one of the other songs). Please Disney/LFL put the video on YouTube cuz I need to add it to my mix. Or I just boot up the episode and fast forward about 7 minutes, which I totally foresee myself doing. Also credits listed Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the main guy!

    Head canon: That's Rotta. He ran away, became Green and Huge and joined a rock band.

    Didn’t like it because the band legitimately thought they could be better than Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes.Absolutely disrespectful.

    Liked the animation work but the story wasn’t for me. It got me thinking though I wouldn’t mind a bit more slice of life stories in the GFFA.

    Hey hey let's not assume they can be better than the Mondal Noodles. Be a great festival show though! Along with Hu from Fallen Order.

    I tend to watch one episode per day, so this one is definitely weaker then The Duel, but overall fun and with a lot of heart!

    Probably my least favorite of the bunch but I still kinda like it. As a struggling musician, I couldn’t help but smile during the band’s first performance. I’ve definitely played in front of some crowds of a similar size and energy. I laughed out loud when Jabba was thumping his tail in time to the music towards the end of the episode.

    I didn’t think I was going to like this one, but overall it wasn’t bad.

    I'm middle of the road with this one. Was fun but not my cup of tea. it was neat to have something that was less about lightsaber battles and somewhat slice of life. A band that included a Hutt who just wanted to rock and an escaped Padawan who found a very different calling. It's a very pure adventure with a lot of heart that managed to infuse some rock into the franchise. Like T0-B1 is also the most shonen feeling with music being the weapon used to save the day in the tournament arc. I loved Chibi-Boba Fett. 7/10

    You know, something like this isn't usually what I'm into, but I have to say I really enjoyed it. I couldn't help but have a smile on my face watching it. There was just something about it that touched me, and something that just felt like it had an important essence of Star Wars.

    Star Wars meets Jimmy Eat World, it is pretty cool.

    Also, during the concert, scan through the languages it is a LOT of fun. German and Cantonnese sound hilarious, French sounds angry.

    Cute, with some heart, but not to my tastes. Jabba and Boba bopping to the song was funny. 6/10

    9/10 - didn't think I was going to like this one as much at first but the 2nd half of the episode I really liked. Fun concept.

    I like that Boba was in it. That's pretty much it.

    And the song was really bad. I only watched Visions in Japanese, so don't know if there's an English song in the other version, but I really didn't like the Japanese one.

    FYI Galatic Dreamer kicks in at the 8 min 30 second mark in Tatooine Rhapsody so if you want to buzz forward to the tune like I did twice, go for that.

    Yeah, not exactly up my alley but it was still fun. Loved the bond between the band members. The song (in English) was good but seeing Jabba's tail twitch to the music was icing on the cake.

    7/10 But if they are going to be the Biggest Band in the Galaxy, then heck yeah, SHOW IT!

    I enjoyed this one a lot. Thought it was just a good time. Chibi Boba was great, tapping along to the song at the end.

    My roommate watched it and thought it was like a Star Wars version of Gorillaz.

    I really don't get the strong negative reaction for this one so many seemed to have. I really enjoyed it for what it was- a fun little story that existed outside of the intragalactic conflicts and dueling space wizards that dominate the franchise. If anything Star Wars needs more of this. I wouldn't quite call it 'slice of life' because it's about rock musicians and crime bosses, but it's a different angle to the GFFA than what we usually see.

    I also never expected to see Jabba the Hutt grooving to music so that was a win in my book.

    Once I finished watching all of Visions went back to this one, specifically the ending song yet again, twice. This one needs to be made a series. You can basically do the same story every week. Band is downtrodden, they play a rock song and everyone is happy at the end. 100 episodes in a blink, easy.

    I think the biggest problem with this one is that most people watched it with only "The Duel" for comparison, which just happened to be one of, if not the, best in the whole series. I gave that one a 10 and this one a 9 based off of what I was expecting/hoping for when they announced a series of one-off anime shorts set in the GFFA. I actually really appreciated that fact that he wasn't lying to the guards about his lightsaber-microphone just being a legitimate part of the performance and not a means of smuggling in a weapon to bust them out of there.

    I just would’ve appreciated much weirder music. Blink 182 in space is not what I look to Star Wars for.
