Journey to the Dark Head
A hopeful mechanic and disillusioned young Jedi team up for a risky and unlikely quest to turn the tide of the galactic war, but dark forces tail them.

The Spy Dancer
The premier dancer at a famous, Imperial-frequented cabaret uses her unique skill-set to spy for the Rebellion, but the presence of a mysterious officer threatens to derail her mission.

I Am Your Mother was the standout of the series for me! Finally Aardman animations (of Wallace and Gromit) enters the Star Wars universe! Funny, lots of brilliant background details like all the stuff for sale at the kiosk. And the falling laundry finally proves that there actually are bras in space.

I would love to see an extended series based on Spy Dancer. Lots of world building in a short little package.

I Am Your Mother is every bit the "chocolate in my peanut butter" goodness that I hoped it would be.

Between Andor and following The Clone Wars along with A More Civilized Age I've come around to the idea that Star Wars is mostly about a really crapsack world (warning: tvtropes!) but this reinstills some faith that it can in fact work with any genre.

bjrubble, I would love for AMCA to discuss Visions.

... oh, wait, I'm a Patreon member. I suppose I could ask?
