** 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" is actually even ''[[DarkerAndEdgier darker]]'' than the scene it's adapting. While Vader slaughtered the Rebel starfighters with just as much impunity in the original, he was temporarily distracted long enough for the remaining Rebel fleet to limp away with their tails tucked between their legs. The short adaptation is shot in hellish black-and-orange lighting as Vader destroys the rebels one by one, and he flies away victorious with the Rebel flagship a smoldering ruin and apparently [[TakeNoPrisoners not a single survivor.]]

* BroadStrokes: How the series keeps itself fresh while reenacting scenes from the movies. Rather than going for shot-for-shot accuracy, the sequences use the original scenes as a guide while re-presenting them in it's own style. For example, Vader does entirely new tricks in the ''Rogue One'' rampage scene, such as boomeranging his lightsaber and telekinetically slamming rebels around until it comes back.

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.
** During his fight with Yoda, Dooku reacts appropriately to the diminutive Jedi master ending up perched on his shoulders during their duel. Good thing for Dooku that Yoda wasn't in a beheading mood.

''Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures'' is a Creator/{{Lucasfilm}} animated web series with shorts revisiting key scenes from the films, introducing characters, and explaining the ''Franchise/StarWars'' universe to a younger audience. Unlike ''WebAnimation/StarWarsForcesOfDestiny'', this series recycles dialogue from the original films, reediting them and presenting them as animated shorts.

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.]]

!!Tropes in this series include:

* ActionGirl: Princess Leia's confrontation with Darth Vader from ''Film/ANewHope'' is shown intercut with scenes of her leading Alderaanian soldiers in the defense of the ''Tantine IV'' as Leia goes so far as to go hand-to-hand with an unfortunate Storm Trooper, further highlighting the BlatantLies of her claim that Vader had attacked and captured a consular ship on a diplomatic mission.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: One of the shorts features Luke's encounter with the Wampa on Hoth.

* 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.
