Chronicles of the underworld, a conventional anthology about two exceptional characters

Happy day of Star Warsconsole! One more year, the May the 4th He is here, and with him a new opportunity to dive into that very far galaxy that created George Lucas 48 years ago. Naturally, Dave Filoni He was not going to miss the party and has new microsey in Disney+.

Star Wars: Chronicles of the Underworld It is the new piece of Dave Filoni for that puzzle with which the creator of The Clone Wars complements its greats animation series And those “empty“That remain in the stories of their characters.”Underworld“It sounds better than”Underworld“, oh well…

This new installment of the Star Wars Chronicles Follow a structure similar to the one we have already seen in Star Wars: The chronicles Jedi y Star Wars: Chronicles of the Empirewith their good things and bad things.

But let’s not go. Today, in Hobby Cine, we bring you our criticism of Star Wars: Chronicles of the Underworld. Do not separate from the blast, because we enter dangerous.

The return of two great villains

Each delivery of Star Wars Chronicles He has seen two characters charging prominence, and Star Wars: Chronicles of the Underworld It is no exception. On this occasion, Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane They are the chosen ones.

We talk about two of The Clone Wars’s great villains and, by extension, two characters that Dave Filoni knows as his as well as the fibers of his hat.

Each of them will enjoy three episodes in this delivery. With them, Filoni manages to cover some gaps that The Clone Wars y Star Wars: The bad spike “Asajj came back,” they left without explaining.

We have short -term episodes again, of the order of about 15 minutes eachbut neither is it that Star Wars: Chronicles of the Underworld You need much more to tell the two stories it offers us.

Interesting, but little innovative

To make sense of what happens to Asajj Ventress after its end in The Clone Warsbefore it reappeared in Star Wars: The bad spike, Star Wars: Chronicles of the Underworld He has established a story that is not strictly redeeming for the character, because we already saw that arch in the original series.

In essence, and not to enter spoilers, Asajj Ventress It will help a young Jedi flee from the empire during the great purge. Both will deal with their differences throughout those three episodes. It is easy for you to see the “nanny concept” that we have seen so repeatedly lately, but becomes more bearable.

Unlike other deliveries of Star Wars Chronicles, The story of Asajj Ventress will be very linearwith its three episodes being continuous and without great temporary jumps.

However, we cannot say that it is an overwhelmingly novel story. Each chapter will put both characters in a situation that we have seen in The Clone Wars, Star Wars: The bad spike y Star Wars Rebels to satiety. You will also find some connection with the series of Obi-Wan KenobiPero very vague.

Cad Bane and Western always go hand in hand

Star Wars He is very inspired by Western, and Dave Filoni has made it clear that he is a great lover of the genre. Their animation series do not miss the opportunity to honor the genre, and Cad Bane has always been its top reference.

In the case of this infamous hunting, its history of origin awaits us on the hard planet, which honors its name with difficult conditions for its inhabitants. You will see it soon, but Hard is essentially Chicago during the great depression.

As in the case of Asajj Ventress, Bane’s is a linear story, although somewhat less, because Yes, there will be temporary jumps As we see its transformation.

Nor is it an especially novel story, but it has a very interesting hook that always works well, and that is very well taken to have such little time to tell it.

Star Wars: Chronicles of the Underworld does not reach the level of Star Wars: The chronicles Jedibut it is more relevant than Chronicles of the Empirestarting with having Two much more interesting and relevant characters than Bariss Offee and Morgan Elsbeth.

I would have liked that both stories were a little more daring in terms of originality, but I hope Dave Filoni is dedicating that aspect to the film with which he will close the arch of the new Republic.

Star Wars: Chronicles of the Underworld It is already available in Disney+where on Wednesday you will have an appointment with the penultimate arch of Andorwhich premieres three episodes. Do not forget your appointment with the rebellion.
