* AdaptationalBadass: Luke in the "Join Me" short puts up a ''much'' better fight against Vader compared to ''Film/EmpireStrikesBack'' where Luke could only dish out a CurbStompCushion before ultimately being disarmed and defeated. Here, he skillfully evades most of Vader's attacks and actually manages to match him blow-for-blow despite still being outmatched.

* {{Bishonen}}: Segments taking place during ''Film/ANewHope'' portray Luke as being young, [[WideEyedIdealist wide-eyed]] and full of wonder. The segment showing his confrontration with The Emperor in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' portray him as older and wiser in contrast, toning the bishie down a bit.

* ADayInTheLimelight: In the first short that doesn't focus on one of the major characters from the movies, "Stormtroopers vs. Rebels" is, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin naturally]], shown from the perspective of Stormtroopers across the galaxy.

* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: Princess Leia leads Alderaanian soldiers in battle against the Imperial Storm Troopers. Darth Vader, meanwhile, is a OneManArmy capable of taking down a dozen enemies as easily as walking down the hallway.

* OhCrap: Luke gets a glorious one when fighting Darth Vader on Bespin. All the more noteworthy for how confident he was at the start of the fight until Darth Vader began levitating and smacking Luke around with a torrent of telekinetically-launched debris. He goes from WideEyedIdealist to just wide-eyed with terror shortly before being launched through a window.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Leia is not spared from being thrown around the cabin of the ''Falcon'' like a tumble dryer in "Han Solo vs. the Space Slug."

** The ''Ghost'' and her crew aren't in "Darth Vader vs. the Rebel Fleet". Consequently, the resulting "battle" is ''even more'' lopsided than it was in the source material, ending in [[KillEmAll a complete massacre]] of the Rebel forces without Vader getting so much as a scratch.

** "Darth Vader vs. the Rebel Fleet" does this for the second season premiere of ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', the primary difference being that in the retelling, [[KillEmAll Vader leaves no survivors.]]

The series debuted on the Creator/{{Disney}} WebSite/YouTube channel in November 2018. The preview can be seen [[https://youtu.be/_wsHRyLWgWg here]]. The whole series to date can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXsbMnnbPpLUYMYgMQ703Tlr8R3OZ5vEa here.]]

* MoodDissonance: Dante Basco's cheerful narration can be a rather jarring contrast to the [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence violence onscreen]], like the opening of "Luke vs. Imperial Walkers", where the voiceover describes a "galaxy of adventures" at the exact moment a rebel gunner is blown to smithereens by AT-[=ATs=].

* ConspicuousCGI: Subtly done. All the characters are traditionally animated, but most of the space dogfights and flight scenes are done with cel-shaded CGI spaceships, similar to the art style for ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsResistance Resistance]]''.

* MoodDissonance: Dante Basco's cheerful narration can be a rather jarring contrast to the [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence violence onscreen]], like the opening of "Luke vs. Imperial Walkers", where the voiceover describes a "galaxy of adventures" at the exact moment a rebel gunner is blown to smithereens by AT-ATs.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: PlayedWith: While Palpatine being the Emperor is given away in his short, the shorts are very careful not to reveal the relationship between Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader, even in the InfoDump segment explaining Darth Vader and his history.

* AscendedFanon: Ever since he reappeared in ''Rebels'', many fans theorized that Captain Rex was the old, bearded Rebel soldier in Han Solo's strike team in ''Return of the Jedi''. The Rebels finale [[FandomNod nodded in that direction]] by mentioning that he fought in the Battle of Endor but didn't actually depict him doing so. "Han Solo - from Smuggler to General" outright confirms the theory by showing him with Han, Leia, and, and still wearing his old Phase II armor underneath his forest camo.

* TheChessmaster: In a very clever twist, Palpatine's confrontation with Luke Skywalker in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' also includes flashbacks to his machinations in the prequel trilogy, an effective reminder of just how ''long'' [[MagnificentBastard Palpatine's been playing the game.]]

* MoodDissonance: Dante Basco's cheerful narration can be a rather jarring contrast to the [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence violence onscreen]], like the opening of "Luke vs. Imperial Walkers", where the voiceover describes a "galaxy of adventures" at the exact moment [[CrossesTheLineTwice a rebel gunner is blown to smithereens by AT-ATs.]]

* AdaptedOut: Luke's doomed copilot Dak Ralter doesn't appear in "Luke vs. Imperial Walkers", presumably to [[{{Bowdlerize}} avoid showing]] his corpse getting stepped on by an AT-AT.

* CanonWelding: Several of the shorts blend together elements of the new and old movies, with Palpatine's speech to Luke on ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' flashing back to his actions in the prequel trilogy, and Han Solo's introduction to Luke and Obi-Wan includes the Kessel Run from ''Film/{{Solo}}'' while he's telling the others about it. Visually speaking, Obi-Wan in ''A New Hope'' is drawn with a mixture of facial features from both Sir Alec Guiness ''and'' Ewan [=McGregor=], rather than just the former.
